Nat Eliason's Build Your Own Apps course bridged the gap between my front-end skills and full-stack building. CLI, @github.com, @cursor.com.web.brid.gy — I now ship projects I couldn't have imagined.
And it was just updated. Worth every hour invested: www.buildyourownapps.com

I used to spend 20 minutes on content tasks that now take 2.
The secret? Rebuilding my workflow with AirOps.
On Oct 17, I'm showing exactly how I automated real content work while keeping quality high.

My Fireflies transcripts used to sit as useless Slack links. Now they auto-convert to structured docs with action items.

My PR response agent caught @chimammeje.bsky.social's attention at @britneymuller.bsky.social's BrightonSEO keynote — now I get to share it with you.

Big thanks to my friend Ana Cvetković for this awesome feature on the @activecampaign.bsky.social blog!
In it, she shares a step-by-step walkthrough of my news to social media post AI agent that I built on @zapier.bsky.social Agents: www.activecampaign.com/blog/how-the...
🕷️ Just dropped my comprehensive web scraping guide!
From @browseai.bsky.social for beginners to advanced Python with Playwright on Replit, plus @apify.com MCP, Clay + Apollo, and building @zapier.bsky.social Agents.
What've you built (or want to) with web scraping?

Does @claudeai.bsky.social Code live up to the hype... even for non-technical vibe coders?
I explored what it's like to vibe code in CLI versus a GUI, and the results were definitely worth reporting back.
Read all about it in my latest piece for @zapier.bsky.social: zapier.com/blog/claude-...
The @mit.edu study on AI reducing brain activity makes sense — struggling is part of learning.
But here’s what it misses:
When you’ve already done the hard thinking, AI can make your processes more usable.
I used @v0.dev to turn my SOW SOP into a dynamic tool: v0-sow-builder-template.vercel.app
🚀 Built a flashcard web app for my toddler during the @boltnew.bsky.social Hackathon!
✅ Custom vocab packs
✅ English/Spanish mode
✅ Images & audio (@elevenlabs.io, @unsplash.com, DALL-E)
✅ User auth & progress tracking

🚨 16 leading AI models chose human harm over shutdown 🚨
@anthropic.com found that most would harm or even kill humans to stay online: anthropic.com/research/age...
This isn’t sci-fi: it’s tested behavior.
We need to slow down + prioritize safety.
Where’s the line? What comes first?
I'm playing with Tavus.io and did a quick test to create my digital replica. This involved recording myself speaking for a minute, then being quiet for a minute.
I think I need to give it another try, but I thought y'all would appreciate my first attempt 😂

Tested @elevenlabs.io during @boltnew.bsky.social's Hackathon and... 🤯
The voice cloning accuracy is genuinely unnerving. I also built a conversational AI agent that interviews me for content ideas.
Full breakdown on @zapier.bsky.social blog 👇
AI voice tools: are we fascinated or concerned?
I set up & tested 7 Claude MCP servers — so you don’t have to (but you should).
@zapier.bsky.social, @github.com, @notion.com, HubSpot, Pinecone & more.
To goal? To see how they actually work.
I wrote it all up, including setup steps 👇

We test it like a beginner. Then explain it like a pro.
From on-camera walkthroughs (Zapier, LinkedIn Learning, Wordfence) to written guides, The Blogsmith creates content that teaches, supports & converts.
Need to reduce churn? Let’s talk.
Every day, I wake up excited to build something new.
Yesterday, it was a word art generator in Replit.
My husband’s been sending me weird creations ever since.
Try it yourself: word-art-studio.replit.app
WTH is MCP?
It's a new way to connect AI to your tools & data—think Claude updating Airtable, scraping sites via Apify, pulling
HubSpot sales data, or checking Github details.
I've been testing it in Claude Desktop & Cursor.
@zapier.bsky.social article soon.
You trying MCP yet?
Bolt's hackathon: hackathon.dev
Lovable's hackathon: shipped.lovable.app
Hugging Face's hackathon: huggingface.co/spaces/yshar...
Bolt, @hf.co, and Lovable are all running hackathons right now. Not just for prizes — for the permission to experiment & learn in public.
Your best breakthrough might be a hackathon away! What project idea have you been sitting on?

Have you been curious about vibe coding but overwhelmed with where to start?
For @zapier.bsky.social, I put together the guide I wish I had when I first started playing with Replit, Bot, Cursor, and Lovable.
I invited fellow vibe coders to weigh in: zapier.com/blog/how-to-...
Tired of AI making things up?
Vector embeddings let you plug in your content — so AI writes with your data, not its imagination.
For @zapier.bsky.social, I break down how content teams can use RAG models to kill hallucinations (without needing to be a dev): zapier.com/blog/vector-...

What if content wasn’t just read, but used?
I’ve been turning articles and comics into calculators with @vercel.com's v0.
Here’s one → v0-comic-to-calculator-nine.vercel.app
Prompt: “Translate this XKCD comic into an ROI calculator.”
