Substack or Beehiiv?

I have both @Substack and @beehiiv newsletters. Both have pros and cons. But honestly, I don't know what one to commit to. Substack only makes money when I make money but is feature lite. Beehiiv is kind expensive for me (5,000+ subs) and feels like it could even be feature obtuse. Do I need all those features? Do i need any of them? I end up flip flopping every year. So it leads me to this...

Here are my top 5 products from my hackathon I hosted last night. Note, these all were built in an hour using AI tools like @Lovable , @bolt.new , @Replit , and @Cursor !!!

What's The Best Founder Community in SF Other Than YC?

Y Combinator is probably the best founder community in the world. What I want to know is what are the top 2-5 after them? I am not referring to accelerators as much as high signal places for builders to congregate together, connect, and build. I am in SF now and am spending time at Founders Inc., HF0, and The Residency. How do those stack up? What else is out there? Would love your thoughts.

PHX Should Be The 5th Best Startup Hub In The USA (Not 1st, Not 10th)

This is a niche topic, but maybe this post can be applied to your city, so read on if you want to take the same conversation to your own city/town.I'm born and raised in Phoenix. I've been a participant in the startup community for about a decade. I've seen a ton happen during that time. The highs. The lows. Competent people building the scene up and incompetent people tearing it down. I wanted...

My Top 5 Launches From The Last Week (From The POV of a Startup Scout)

I used to be a startup scout, and one of my sources of deal flow was actually the Product Hunt leaderboard. For fun, I’m going to pick the top five products I find most interesting that launched in the last week from a scout POV. I’ll try to veer away from the top products each day to keep things interesting.@Check Supply (Send checks in the mail) --> Takes something that’s been around for...

Will getting 500 users in 2030 be as hard as getting a full stack app built in 2010?

I am truly blown away by these AI coding assistants. I have messed around with v0 and now am playing with Lovable. This feels like it should be illegal. I'm essentially coding full stack apps without having any knowledge of programming. Yes, there is a small gap on the deploying front but my guess is this will be solved for quickly. My main question is where does this trend lead to? I don't...
