Proof, Plots, Prototypes

gm legends, happy Thursday.

Here’s today’s lineup: Strive makes you back your goals with photos or videos so quitting isn’t an option; Graphy turns raw numbers into eye-catching visuals in seconds; Floot spins plain-English prompts into live web apps by lunch; and Aleksandar asks if accelerators still pack a punch when Google and AI can teach you almost anything.

Proof or Bust

Strive Social makes you stake your goals on real proof. Pick a challenge, run, read, meditate, then upload a photo or video to validate it. Friends cheer you on, rib you when you slip, and jump in so quitting alone isn’t an option.

🔥 Our Take: Any app that makes you post a sweaty selfie when you bail on leg day has my full attention. Uploading proof feels weird but knowing your crew is watching is the kick in the pants you actually need.

Badge vs Bootstrap

Aleksandar asks: “Are startup accelerators still worth it in 2025?”

In other words, can a shiny cohort badge still beat DIY and reopen investor doors?

Founders say you get three real perks:
• A network that shoves you forward when you’d otherwise coast
• Deadlines that force actual shipping instead of “someday” promises
• A credibility signal that still cracks investor, partner and press inboxes

Go solo if you crave freedom, but don’t fool yourself, quality programs still deliver the kick in the pants you can’t DIY. Dive into the thread for who’s still worth your time.

No Spreadsheet Sweat

Graphy 3.0 turns messy numbers into slick visuals in seconds. Pick your chart, paste your data, tweak labels and colors, then grab a shareable link or embed code without wrestling with Excel.

🔥 Our Take: Spending hours fighting spreadsheets is a crime against your weekend. This gives you a chart that clicks immediately. You might nudge a title here or adjust a color there, but that beats wrestling formulas at 2 AM.

App in Minutes

Floot turns plain-English descriptions into working web apps. You get a built-in backend, database, hosting and optional AI integrations without wrestling servers or config. It’s for anyone with an idea and zero patience for setup.

🔥 Our Take: AI app builders keep popping up like houseplants in a hipster café, most of them struggle with the same thing, the AI gets confused and creates one bug after another. If Floot can solve that then it might be a shooting star in a sea of meh.
