When Matteo Mosca went from CEO to indie hacker, he knew he was risking it all. But little did he know that he would soon build his greatest product yet, and one that would be a mega-hit in the #nocode community.

This is the story of 71 Lines — a step-by-step course that lets you quickly build your own Chrome extension with just 71 lines of code. And what do you know, people love it!

"We spend 90% of our time creating original content, but only 10% actually promoting it". When Luke Cannon noticed that this ratio was out of whack, he took it upon himself to balance the scales. This is the story of BirdyBots.

Welcome to Part 2 in our fight to stop package theft!

[ If you haven't had a chance to listen to the first episode yet, PAUSE HERE. Don’t worry, we’ll still be here when you return. ]

Last week, we focused on eliminating unauthorized entry into buildings by package thieves disguising themselves as delivery personnel from popular shippers (like FedEx and UPS).

But what about those boxes that had already made it into the building lobby, and are now just sitting there—attracting ogling thieves, and primed for the taking?

In this week’s episode, we’ll focus on the home-stretch: getting deliveries from the lobby to your door.

With the world working from home in 2020, people became reliant on online orders for pretty much everything. From toilet paper, to laptops... ecommerce skyrocketed.

Before we knew it, residential lobbies quickly turned into mountains of packages. AND THAT'S WHEN PACKAGE THIEVES TOOK NOTICE.

When there’s a massive amount of content being pumped into our daily feeds, how do you find the time to sift through it all?

The human fingerprint has long been considered our most unique quality.

Over time, we’ve learned that the way we walk, and even the way we type (@typingdna) is distinctly different from person-to-person.

But is the way people scroll and engage with websites just as unique? And if so, why do brands still serve the same content to all—when we're all so different?

Yelp, Foursquare, Trustpilot… we rely so much on the experiences of others when looking for a new restaurant or thinking about buying a new product. But when it comes to buttons and links that we click on every day, we might as well have our eyes closed.

This week, we asked ourselves a simple question: How can we leverage social proof to know whether there’s true value behind the click?

Think about your podcast experience today.

It sucks. We know.

- 60-minute episodes, but 20 minutes worth of value.

- Hosts speaking AT you, instead of letting you join the conversation.

- Want to leave a comment for the host? Back to Twitter you go.

- Need to take notes? There's a separate app for that.

But what if you knew where the best parts were in every episode? What if you could start a discussion around your favorite moments, and invite your friends to join the conversation? What if as the host, you knew which parts your audience loved the most?

Join us as we flip the podcast experience on its head.

Few things have as great of an impact on our daily lives as the news we consume. At the same time, the most shareable news is often controversial, click-baity, or outright negative.

And with algorithms pushing more and more of that content to the top of our feeds, we feed this cycle of negativity each time we glance at our phones or turn on the TV.

...So we asked ourselves "what if we could tweak our news feed to surface more positive, and tone down the negative?"

Join us as we think through a solution that works with existing news apps to help us find a better balance, and discover more moments of joy. A tool that helps us find everyday stories of positivity.

In Episode 2, we came up with “retargeting ads with an auction-style twist”... a modern approach to haggling for the masses.
