Launch Your Micro-SaaS for $0/mo: The No-Excuses Stack

The author launched their app, *Reflective Path*, using a completely free tech stack to avoid getting stuck in the 'Research Loop' and focus on shipping. The recommended 'No-Excuses' stack prioritizes speed and cost-efficiency: React Native Expo for cross-platform builds, Supabase for an all-in-one backend (Auth/DB), PostHog for retention analytics, and Google AI Studio for design assistance. Sentry is highlighted as crucial for real-time error reporting. The post strongly advises founders to launch quickly, warning against giving AI coding tools access to production data, emphasizing that a shipped, imperfect app beats a theoretical perfect one.

GPT-5.2 Evaluation on SWE-bench Shows High Efficiency

An independent evaluation of GPT-5.2 (medium and high reasoning) on the SWE-bench coding benchmark shows GPT-5.2 High ranked third, behind Gemini. GPT-5.2 Medium placed below Sonnet 4.5. A major finding is the efficiency of GPT models, using significantly fewer median steps (14 for Medium, 17 for High) than Gemini and Claude, making them cost-effective. The scores reflect a standardized, bare-bones agent comparison, differing from company reports. Full results and logs are available on swebench.com.

Jack Dorsey's New Internet-Free Bluetooth Messaging App

Jack Dorsey has launched BitChat, a messaging app that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks instead of the internet or cell towers. Phones act as network nodes, forwarding end-to-end encrypted messages. Messages are compressed, split into small data packets, and broadcast via BLE advertisements. If the recipient is out of direct range (approx. 30m), nearby BitChat devices relay the chunks across the mesh until delivery. Data chunks are stored temporarily in RAM with a TTL for privacy. While limited by range and network density, BitChat offers crucial communication during infrastructure failures, potentially democratizing communication infrastructure.

Nano Banana Pro Destroys Image Model Competitors in Brutal Test

The video compares Nano Banana Pro against Nano Banana and C-Dream 4.0 through brutal image generation tests. Nano Banana Pro excelled at complex tasks, perfectly rendering an Indian Odia card with Hindi text, accurately placing three distinct fonts on a poster, and showing readable text from four angles on a mug. It correctly identified Shah Rukh Khan and successfully generated a movie poster with seven text elements. The model also mastered multi-lingual cultural design and demonstrated historical context knowledge via GPS coordinates. The speaker concludes Nano Banana Pro is making its competitors obsolete.
