In all serioiusness: in my experience the outcome is sort of the opposite of Overcooked. A genuinely tranquil cooking-together experience!
https://nommer.ai/ has a waitlist, planning to ship v1 by end of month.
Menu bar app that reduces your Claude Code token costs by ~50% so you get 2x more usage out of your plan.
People seem to like it so far :-)
1. On install we explain what Headroom installs 2. We added an uninstall feature that removes all of this for you 3. On quit of the app, we immediately remove all items that may intervene with normal Claude Code behavior
I did want to call out that headroom is not based on RTK - it includes RTK sure, but headroom cli has a lot more going on under the hood. For more see https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom
Did you already try tools that can help to reduce token usage cost so you can get more prompts in within your same plan? Some great ones are

What do you base purchase decisions on?
Ultimately it’s imo more about avoiding bad products than it is about noticing whether a product is great. Criticaster collects all professional reviews to get to an average critic score, which will more quickly and more accurately get you to a satisfactory product than any other approach.
In my experience buying a product that gets mostly positive reviews from professional reviewers gets you a far better product than one with mixed reviews. I’m surprised that’s not your experience and that you don’t much trust those scores. What else do you make your purchase decisions on then? Purely specs?
A metacritic like website but for any product.
It analyzes thousands of professional critic reviews to find the best of the best.
I started building this because I adore how metacritic analyzes professional movie/game/tv show reviews and calculates a meta score for each title. In my experience it’s the best way to discover new things to watch or play, and I’ve often wished something like this would exist for when I want to buy a product.
This year, I decided to start building it myself and Criticaster is the result.
For a given product category we collect all professional reviews of a given product, analyze each to assign them a score and then calculate an average critic score.
The goal is to become the most trustworthy source to make product decisions.
Very curious what y’all think!
1. Our issuing partner is Brale.xyz, a US regulated stablecoin company by Ben Milne, the founder of Dwolla. Brale works with partners on their end to invest in US Treasuries. More info here: https://www.glodollar.org/articles/brale-and-the-glo-foundat...
On audits: we're working with a big 4 auditor on audit readiness. Our goal is to publish audits regularly and be fully transparent in both our operations and treasury holdings. Brale will publish monthly attestations of the assets backing Glo Dollar, and we will have audit rights over those assets on a periodical basis as well.
2. While US Treasuries indeed have a maturity date, treasuries with a maturity date of up to 3 months are considered a "cash equivalent" because their market is so liquid. Because of this, they can easily be exchanged for cash in the event a lot of people want their cash back at once.
3. Glo's per-dollar impact is low at first. As adoption grows, it ramps up. At scale, we expect to lift 1 person out of extreme poverty per $20,000 of Glo Dollar market cap by generating approximately $480 in interest that we can donate to GiveDirectly. We're not there yet, as we need to ramp up market cap beyond $2m first. More info here: https://www.glodollar.org/articles/from-bootstrap-to-high-im...
4. Stablecoins provide actual utility to crypto traders (hence why there are $125B of them in circulation). So our thinking is that we can drive adoption by meeting traders where they are. We also think that Glo Dollar’s philanthropic mission will give it an edge for IRL stablecoin adoption. More on that here: https://www.glodollar.org/articles/vision-and-growth-strateg...
Happy to answer any other questions!
Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.
For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/products/exercise-tax-calculator
An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal. Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam product and engineering team. We have a variety of engineering vacancies including DevOps Engineer, frontend and backend Python:

I imagine this being used by people to reconnect with acquintances that they really admire, who will naturally start new projects / bands / companies / skateboard crews after learning of each other's mutual admiration.
It's super early stages, but would love to hear from you on hello@gethelden.com if you think it's interesting :-)

I started working on this because last year I broke a promise to myself that I always throw a party for my birthday to celebrate life, love, happiness. Even I am apparently too apathetic sometimes. To prevent this from ever happening again, I started building Wherat.
