💼 Business
Mr. Beast opened a burger restaurant in a mall in New Jersey. He broke the world record for most burgers sold in a day by a single restaurant. It’s one of many examples of how influencers are becoming brands and businesses. I scrolled by this hot take from David Friedberg saying “If you don't have content creation in your blood, you have to buy a content business, or you're gonna die.” - and I think he has a great point.
✏️ Design
Feeling stuck on your product or need inspiration for user flows? This website is truly amazing. On Pageflows.com you can find a great selection of all kinds of flows for both desktop and mobile products. It does require a subscription to get full access but they give Eli5 newsletter members a 15% discount via this link :)
🖥️ Technology
This one is cool: Lotion, an open-source Notion UI built with Vue 3. Building editors from the ground up is such a hassle. While there are some solid solutions out there like Quill, we’ll keep a close eye on Lotion :)
🕹️ Cool stuff
We all know thispersondoesnotexist.com but do you already know about thishousedoesnotexist.org? The website is built by Pieter Levels and leverages Stable Diffusion’s AI image generator to produce images of beautiful houses. Pretty freaking cool!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
