I'm delighted to introduce Sundrop – a private photo app for parents. trysundrop.app ☀️ Sundrop finds your best photos and turns them into delightful keepsakes. See your kids side-by-side at the same age. Watch timelapses of them growing up. Relive your family's week. And lots more. Everything happens on your iPhone; your photos never touch our servers. (We wouldn't trust a company with our photo libraries, either.) Sundrop has brought a lot of joy to our own families. We hope it does the same for yours!

I designed software for 15 years and never shipped an app of my own. I couldn't code, still can't. Then I learned how to talk to AI and shipped my first iOS app. I created NEUMA to teach you how to build and ship your ideas in as fast as a weekend. heyneuma.com

It's posts like these that reinforce why my wife and I decided to build education.supply. > abundantly clear parents are actively searching for high quality products made for learning > there's a very wide spectrum in the relationship families have with putting tech in front of their kids. some families are entirely no-screen, others are working out how best to integrate (and when to introduce it). iPad alternatives are the most searched keyword on the site
Another iPad alternative is the Yoto player - audiobooks, podcasts, and music for kids. They also have an amazing BBC-style daily news report! Strong recommend.

While your team is just getting started vibe coding prototypes, the team at @stripe is vibe coding a full vibe coding platform. @ow is a design manager at Stripe who built Protodash - an internal AI prototyping tool that lets designers and PMs spin up real, clickable prototypes in minutes. In this ep he walks through: - why generic AI tools produce "blurple slop" that doesn't match your design system - how he built a full prototyping studio on top of dev boxes with cursor + cc - why more PMs than designers now use Protodash - the design review mode that lets teams ship feedback direct in the app Plus, we talk about getting to the ultimate dream: demos, not memos. ty to our sponsors! 🧠 @Celigo - Intelligent automation built for AI 💻 @cursor_ai - The best way to code with AI Full episode on yt: youtu.be/hQFEAZK__q0

We've made @stripe docs more conversational. Now you can ask questions about any piece of content or code snippet, which means fewer browser tabs and less hunting for answers.

Got a demo of Workbench today and immediately enabled it on my accounts (available in Settings -> Beta Features). It's like Inspect for your Stripe account and includes a bunch of info not necessarily accessible from your normal dashboard.
Today we're announcing the next generation of developer tools at Stripe: Sandboxes, Event Destinations, and Workbench. Building on Stripe is easier than ever🚀
