I'm a 20-year-old maker, and this is my story.
Been working on a lil script-writing app ๐ it feels really crazy how fast I can go from "i wish this existed" to a prototype, coding really is a magical skill โจ scripty.studio

๐ฌ Had to improvise an explanation for what "web3" means for a non-crypto fren recently. Was really happy with the explanation, so thought I'd share! ๐ (feat. @AnaArsonist.lens)

โจ Last week, OpenAI released Whisper, a neural net for speech recognition with insane accuracy. So I made a simple script that uses it to generate (good) YouTube subtitles for any video, in seconds. ๐

Been working on something cool, and will probably be releasing a testnet build this week for everyone to play with & find bugs before release ๐ Video NFTs (x @lensprotocol) anyone? ๐ฑ

๐ฑ I have no doubt @lensprotocol will overtake web2 social at some point. But until then, I'm forced to keep posting on the platforms my existing audience uses. ...or I could make an app that does it for me (and I did). Cross-post Lens to Twitter ๐

๐ฑ One of the coolest things about @lensprotocol is that you truly own your data, and can bring it anywhere you go. To help with this, I made a lil tool you can use to embed posts, comments & mirrors anywhere! โจ

โจ I used to love Hacker News because of all the amazing articles & repos I found there. Unfortunately, quality has decreased over the years (and they really really hate any crypto-related projects). So I made a new link board, powered by @lensprotocol ๐ฑ

๐ Finally had time to open-source the template I've been using for months to make all these lil apps! It includes Next.js, Tailwind CSS, RainbowKit, ethers.js, wagmi & more!
View on Lens
๐ฑ Made a lil @lensprotocol client to show my posts on my website. Having tried to do the same with Twitter a while ago, the difference is incredible. Truly a wagmi DX.

๐ค Came across Algoz in my Twitter timeline today, and upon looking deeper into it something caught my attention. Tried to run their captchas through OCR and, after a bunch of image pre-processing, got a solver. Proof of Concept (only works on testnet, ofc) ๐

โจ A while ago, I made a simple script that generated subtitle files from any YouTube URL (using OpenAI's Whisper). Since then it's gotten: ๐ Support for SRT outputs (as well as VTT) โก๏ธ Wayyy faster YT downloads ๐ซ Line break support for nicer-looking subtitles Try it out! ๐

โจ Finally managed to add image support to Reflect! After you enable the images option from your dashboard (link below), your Lens posts will keep their images when cross-posted to Twitter ๐ One step closer from freeing ourselves from the bird app ๐

โจ Social has always has a big problem with bots & spam. We're excited to work with @lensprotocol on a new solution to this: Have users verify themselves in a completely anonymous way, using World ID. Human status available to all apps via the Lens API.

When I was learning Solidity, I remember feeling like there were no good resources to go from beginner to intermediate To continue learning, I built simplified versions of popular apps (ENS, OpenSea, Gnosis, Superfluid, etc.) Might be helpful for those on the path now ๐

๐ฑ Gated Garden allows you to garden-gate your links. Only those who follow you on Lens will get through ๐ A lil extra incentive for your followers, or an easy way to make some $$ with @lensprotocol's "charge for follow" feature? You decide!

๐ฑ @lensprotocol can be viewed anywhere, with dozens of frontends already. As with centralized social however, users are likely to stick to a few frontends they're familiar with. Links should reflect that. Universal Lens links are here ๐

๐ฑ I'm using @lenster.lens a lot, and was getting tired of using Safari all the time... So I wrapped it into its own lil app ๐ Available now on Testflight โก๏ธ testflight.apple.com/join/yrsLAMu5

๐ฑ With every new social network, it's always interesting to keep track of the most active users and see how engagement evolves. Fortunately, @lensprotocol makes this super easy, since all the data is on-chain and indexed.

๐ฑ @lensprotocol is such an amazing source of inspiration. They've basically created the perfect decentralized social storage, indexed by default and with stellar APIs for devs ๐คฉ Wanna recreate twitter, reddit or Mirror? You just need to make a frontend!

โจ Worked with @yoginth.lens to add meta cards to @lenster.lens posts & profiles! Now, when sharing on social media, things look much nicer :D
View on Lens
๐ฑ @lensprotocol imagines a new era of decentralized social networks. Can they solve "verifying humans" better than Twitter? A proposal: use anonymous zero-knowledge proofs of humanity (with Worldcoin)

We're just getting started! ๐ฑ
