@bubble | https://t.co/RLByWG66Pn

Bubble has a visual programming interface that enables anyone to build a complex web app in days.

I use Bubble to quickly get a working MVP to users after I’ve proven out an initial idea.
@AdaloHQ | https://t.co/2a5cIsmWiI

Adalo is similar to Bubble, but you can also use it to build native mobile applications.

You can make social apps, marketplaces, task apps, and more.
@streamlit | https://t.co/cBocesubiB

If you can write basic Python, Streamlit enables you to build simple dashboard-based frontends in minutes.

I use Streamlit to think through and prototype the earliest iterations of my ideas.
@Replit | https://t.co/GvpkTjTM7B

Replit is a browser-based, collaborative code editor than can also run production code.

I use Replit to prototype APIs and simple web apps, without needing to worry about infrastructure.
@webflow | https://t.co/ZJNvceb2Yn

Webflow is a great way to design a website without coding. Plus, you can turn Webflow sites into full web apps with the help of @airtable and @zapier.

I use Webflow to quickly build engaging sites for my projects.
@Rapid_API | https://t.co/vsaGqtgZG5

RapidAPI is a marketplace where you can find and access thousands of APIs.

I’ve used it for everything from image recognition to speech -> text.
@airtable | https://t.co/Xy0sNKv1AM

Airtable is like excel on steroids. It’s super easy to set up, and you can connect to it directly from code.

I use Airtable as a simple database when I’m prototyping apps.
@typeform | https://t.co/wtnQfvgqZj

Typeform is a simple survey tool.

I use it to get feedback from users, collect emails, track PMF, and more.
@figmadesign | https://t.co/kVR5R43njz

Figma is a collaborative design platform.

Use it to create mockups you can share with users, prototype workflows, and gather feedback on your ideas.
@zapier | https://t.co/qiKErJ6h3W

Zapier is a great way to power the backend of a MVP. You can connect thousands of other apps together to build valuable tools for your users.

Use it to automate routine tasks, handle data, and so much more.
We used many of these tools to test ideas and build the earliest versions of @OthersideAI’s AI writing assistant, https://t.co/HjHVk4vmkm.

अस्य श्री गायत्री ध्यान श्लोक:
(gAyatri dhyAna shlOka)
• This shloka to meditate personified form of वेदमाता गायत्री was given by Bhagwaan Brahma to Sage yAgnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्य).

• 14th shloka of गायत्री कवचम् which is taken from वशिष्ठ संहिता, goes as follows..


• मुक्ता-विद्रुम-हेम-नील धवलच्छायैर्मुखस्त्रीक्षणै:।
muktA vidruma hEma nIla dhavalachhAyaiH mukhaistrlkShaNaiH.

• युक्तामिन्दुकला-निबद्धमुकुटां तत्वार्थवर्णात्मिकाम्॥
yuktAmindukalA nibaddha makutAm tatvArtha varNAtmikam.

• गायत्रीं वरदाभयाङ्कुश कशां शुभ्रं कपालं गदाम्।
gAyatrIm vardAbhayANkusha kashAm shubhram kapAlam gadAm.

• शंखं चक्रमथारविन्दयुगलं हस्तैर्वहन्ती भजै॥
shankham chakramathArvinda yugalam hastairvahantIm bhajE.

This shloka describes the form of वेदमाता गायत्री.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
