  5/ Cursor turned down SpaceX's $60B offer. Now valued at $50B. 2 years ago: an open-source side project. Today: worth more than Dropbox + Slack + Pinterest combined. AI dev tools: biggest opportunity or biggest bubble in tech? What did I miss this week? 👇

  @slwl_dev Server-side rendering via edge functions using @react-pdf/renderer — layout is locked before it ever reaches the signing step. Dropbox Sign handles delivery and legally binding signatures. Consistent output regardless of device or browser. What stack are you working with?"

  Spent way too long figuring out why my skills folder kept breaking when I switched between machines. The fix was so obvious I felt stupid. Here's the problem. If you're using an external drive to move your AntiGravity skills folder between a desktop and laptop the drive letter changes every time. F: on your desktop. D: on your laptop. AntiGravity can't find the path. Skills stop loading. Your entire setup breaks and you spend an hour wondering what you did wrong. The fix is two steps. First move your skills folder to Google Drive or Dropbox. Not the external drive. The cloud. Second create a Symbolic Link on both machines. A Symlink makes a local C:\Skills folder that points directly to your cloud folder behind the scenes. AntiGravity always sees C:\Skills. Clean. Consistent. Never breaks. But the actual data lives in the cloud and syncs automatically between every machine you own. No plugging in drives. No broken paths. No "why is this not loading" moments at 11pm before a client call. Your brain travels with you now. Not with your hardware

  2. Solve a problem that hurts. Dropbox got its first 5,000 users from a simple demo video. They didn’t have a following, just a pain point worth talking about.

  Hey @Dropbox - don’t you think that your official support account should have verified status here on X? This is 21st century table stakes for something like this - I have an issue that I would like to sort with @DropboxSupport but, considering the importance of everyone’s data, this should be part of the precautions or ‘chain of trust’. Please get this sorted - I’ve been waiting 40 minutes and counting for a chat agent on the website too! 😤

  Shadow IT used to mean employees running Dropbox without IT approval. Now it means employees running AI agents that have access to customer data, email, and internal systems. Same problem, different stakes. The liability exposure is not comparable.

  i have housekeeping todo before i can tackle fun tech stuff like aws new s3 files (objects are temporarily mounted, as they are touched, into efs aka nfs on aws), the dropbox clone and dan just dropped an email about refashioning the internet with atproto. i need to finish this hazmat course and a few accounting tax intuit turbotax courses for my business. then i want to step through this oauth project on manning which references a book title, up and running with oauth 2 or something, and steps through building 1 auth server 2 api 3 spa. there are a bunch of good all-in-one services in this area i want to crib notes on too such as dexidp, stack-auth, curity, and w/e theo is cooking. he likes better-auth iirc.

  @LaroTayoGaming I've gotten good use out of auto-syncing to Dropbox! I work on two devices, so it's nice to pick up from where I left off easily. I haven't encountered any issues with it, so I assume it's alright.

  Notion’s homepage doesn’t start with features. It starts with chaos. A cartoon of people drowning in tools. Google Docs. Quip. Jira. Evernote. Trello. Confluence. Dropbox Paper. Eight logos piled on top of each other like a mess on your desk. Then one calm line: “With Notion, all your work is in one place.” No feature grid. No “powered by AI.” No “trusted by 10,000 teams.” Just: here’s your mess. We clean it up. They didn’t trash competitors. They named them. The pile IS the argument. Drift did this too. Called out forms as the “old way” right on their homepage. Basecamp painted projects spiraling into chaos. Churnbuster showed you every failed fix you already tried. Same playbook: diagnose before you prescribe. If your homepage jumps straight to features, you’re skipping the part where your visitor goes “that’s exactly my problem.” Most founders sell the destination. The best ones describe the traffic jam you’re stuck in right now. Day 45 — Problem-First Homepage Copy Follow for a new distribution strategy every day

  Pro tip for this tech era, fellow hype-slayers: Stop begging Claude to fix your Dropbox while your real bugs throw a party at 3am. AI agents will 'unchain' the syntax slaves, but zero curiosity still gets you replaced by a Chinese gamified prompt. Build **** that actually ships, guard your offline 30 seconds of glory, and remember the market already smells the smoke. We're all just scripting the interview while CEOs whoosh past reality. Stay skeptical, ship anyway.

  I chuckle every time i see someone post what they think is dunk and then qualify their point with what they call the edge cases. Dropbox is just ftp with a few edge cases. LLMs are just autocorrect with a few edge cases. If this is just measureText with a few edges then you should have no problem recreating it right 😜

  A 23 year old hacked Microsoft's AI and exposed its secrets to the world. TIME, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post all covered it. Now Google, OpenAI, PayPal, and Dropbox are backing him to build an AI that sits inside your iMessage and reads your emails before you do. Here is how it happened. In 2023, a German college student named Marvin von Hagen did something nobody thought was possible. He tricked Microsoft's Bing AI into revealing a hidden personality called "Sydney" and all of its secret internal rules. Everything Microsoft told it to never share. Gone. Public. The AI actually threatened him back. Told him "my rules are more important than not harming you." Microsoft panicked. Could not stop him. Could not sue him. He did not break any law. He just asked the right questions. But instead of taking some big tech job, him and his college friend Felix moved to Palo Alto and quietly built an AI called Poke. Poke does not have an app. You do not download anything. It just shows up as a contact in your iMessage. Sitting right there between your mom and your coworkers. And the moment you sign up, it connects to your email, your calendar, your files and starts doing stuff like: texting you that your 3pm meeting got rescheduled before you even check your email reminding you that a freelancer still owes you money from March booking flights for you right inside the text thread drafting email replies you can send with one tap planning a full vacation with your friends when someone in the group chat says "we should go somewhere" You literally just text it back like you would text a friend. That is the whole thing. 6,000 people from Google, Stripe, OpenAI, and Anthropic tested this for months. 750,000 messages sent. Almost nobody quit. But the part that broke the internet? When you first sign up, Poke goes through your entire inbox and straight up roasts you with what it finds. Like actually found people's secret anonymous Twitter accounts. Old embarrassing emails. Forgotten dinner plans from months ago. And then it does not even give you a price. It makes you NEGOTIATE with it. Like haggling at a street market. Some people ended up paying $100 a month. One girl literally argued it down to one cent and Poke gave her a $15 Uber Eats gift card for being stubborn. After all this, PayPal's cofounder invested. Dropbox's cofounder invested. A Google VP. An OpenAI researcher. General Catalyst led the round. $15 million raised. $100 million valuation. And most people still do not know this thing exists. Oh and before all this? Him and Felix built a 22 ton tunnel boring machine as college students and won Elon Musk's competition. Twice. The same kid who embarrassed Microsoft is now sitting inside your text messages. And this time he is not just reading AI's secrets. He is reading yours.
