90% of founders are just overpaid secretaries.
Last month, a Series A founder missed a critical investor intro.
It sat buried under 200+ newsletters for 4 days.
By the time he saw it? The deal was dead.
He wanted to hire a $60k/yr EA. I built him a system instead.
Here's the "Inbox Autopilot" that saved him:
If you're spending 2+ hours daily in your inbox, DM me "INBOX."
I'll send you a free breakdown of exactly how this would work for your specific workflow.

90% of startups fail.
The #1 reason? They run out of money.
Not because they don't work hard.
Not because the product is bad.
Because they don't know their runway.
I built a tool that tells you exactly when you'll hit zero.
30 seconds. No signup.

Your website might be losing customers because it feels cheap.
Not the design. Not the copy. The feel.
When someone clicks a button and it just... appears. No smoothness. No response. Their brain registers it as low-quality.
It's like the difference between a luxury car door and a cheap rental. One feels solid. The other feels flimsy. Same with your website.
For Day 4 of my 30-day UI challenge, I built an interactive demo that shows this difference.
Instead of instant clicks, I made buttons and elements move smoothly. Like they have weight. Like they're real objects.
Why this matters for your business: When your interface feels premium, people trust it more. And trust = conversions
A smooth, responsive website tells customers: "We care about details. We're worth paying for."

I recently audited a Series A startup bleeding leads. Great tech, but a 'cheap' UI.
In B2B, users judge your security by your physics. So we stopped treating the UI like a screen and started treating it like a physical object.
Meet "Liquid Crystal" physics. 👇
The result? The "Trust Gap" closed. • Velocity Tilt (Reacts to speed) • Inertial Wobble (Settles heavily) • Hard Glint (Premium material)
Your UI is your body language. Don't slouch.

I’m starting a 30-day design engineering challenge today. Goal: Build one high-fidelity interaction every day using Next.js and Framer Motion.
Day 1: Kinetic Typography with spring physics.
The build uses useSpring (stiffness: 400, damping: 25) to add weight to the cursor movement. It creates a "drag" effect that feels more physical than standard CSS transitions.
You can grab the code for this component here: repo (https://github.com/chiizzy1/30-Days-of-Premium-UI-Interactions)

I just deleted 1,740 lines of code. The auth still works. Actually, it works better now.
Here's the thing: I was verifying JWT tokens in two places. Frontend middleware doing crypto checks, then the backend doing the exact same thing again.
The frontend can't be trusted anyway. It just needs to know one thing: "Is this token expired?" for routing. The backend handles real security when API calls happen.
What changed:
110-line middleware → 25 lines
5 auth docs explaining complexity → 0
2 duplicate token endpoints → 1 clean pattern
Same security. 10x clearer. Faster page loads.
The most satisfying code you'll ever write is the code you delete.
