Had an agent probe the UX, it's a surprise @UberEats isn't banned yet.
> They charge you via apple pay in-app for a subscription but it doesn't show up on @Apple app store. I wonder if they pay the tax.
> They advertise $0 trial, but actually immediately charge you a card hold.
> On trial activation, they hide the uber one button, you can't easily cancel the trial that will automatically charge your card soon.
> There is no easy way to cancel your subscription and only way is to contact help to cancel it.
> The uber one button suddenly reappears after you cancel.
> The algorithmic pricing is predatory to say the least, they're almost encouraging users to use a new account every day using the email+number trick (I don't recommend this).
I'm having Karen, a customer grievance app I built file formal consumer complaints to the @FTC and @NewYorkStateAG, and email @NYCMayor with full reports.
@DoorDash @Grubhub you're next

Offline Protocol SDK v0.33.0 is out.
Resends and delivery receipts now travel as far as the first copy did, across every hop of a phone mesh. In a simulated crowd of forty phones every delivery receipt comes back, and on a two-hop chain of phones, receipts slower than five seconds fell from 118 of 200 to 15.
React Native now requests the Android Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permissions the mesh needs in one call.
Development builds point out integration mistakes, such as a username passed where a device address belongs or a send before start(). Release builds stay silent.
No API is removed.

Group hikes split up right where the signal drops.
@aditipolkam built Muster: phones in the group form a Bluetooth mesh, share live positions, and guide everyone to the leader's meeting point with a compass. No server, no account.
Built on our mesh SDK: github.com/aditipolkam/muste…
you’re on a trek, your group is spread across a few kms, and there’s zero network. how do you tell everyone if the lunch plan changed?
i built muster - offline location sharing app
- save an offline map for your trek region while you have signal
- phones find each other over bluetooth
- the leader’s location and meeting points hop phone to phone over the mesh
- location details are plotted on your offline map
- you follow by route or compass, fully offline and reach the meeting point comfortably.
no server, no tower, no internet.
powered by the @OfflineProtocol sdk

It’s sad that the smartest people and most resourced capital allocators are all converging on the same unambitious ideas that reduce human autonomy instead of accelerating it, ideas that make tech more inaccessible and inequitable for the masses. This is creating more wealth disparities, deeper poverty, more exploitation, and more social harm to developing economies.
I have met with 40+ reputed funds for our Series A this year and not a single one actually cared about the negative human impact their portfolio companies facilitated. With the kind of organic growth we’ve experienced this year, I’m almost in 2 minds about the role of venture capital for positive socio-economic outcomes.

Autonomous operations for robot fleets, no internet required.
@mizanxali built MeshRover at @ETHGlobal Mumbai, and it keeps running when the network is gone.
Every robot doubles as a relay. Camera frames travel robot to robot over an Offline Protocol mesh to a base, where a @0G_labs AI model running in a TEE makes the call, and the decision comes back over the same mesh. No towers or Wi-Fi needed.
If an answer doesn't arrive in time, the robot stops safely. Entering a restricted zone needs a human to sign off with @worldnetwork ID, and every robot and operator has a role on @ensdomains v2.
A full control loop running over the mesh. One of the many use cases where our stack can enable seamless operations.
Built MeshRover at @ETHGlobal Mumbai.
Robots that never touch the internet.
Each one sends a camera frame to a central base over an offline mesh built with @OfflineProtocol, hopping through other robots along the way. The base asks a @0G_labs AI model running in a TEE and sends the decision back over the same mesh.
If the AI says stop, or the answer doesn't arrive in time, the robot stops safely.
Entering a restricted zone also needs a human: an operator approves with @worldnetwork ID on their phone.
The fleet is managed on @ensdomains v2: every robot and operator has a subname with a role and an expiry.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali 🪔
Missing home, missing family, sad that we lost Simba this year, he loved sitting with us when we prayed. Miss my grandpas. Tough year emotionally but have found a lot of strength in spirituality, and determined to continue trying my best to be good.
This is getting traction so… I’m trying to build the world’s best free camera app, literally completely free and no strings attached. Try it out! 🙏🏼

First thing when you open Coinbase wallet
Imagine if your bank did this shit
@brian_armstrong the entire product team should be fired. Cb wallet used to be my favorite crypto product for years until the brainrotted base team got their hands on it
Coinbase GTM strategy for India is crazy

A new social platform for agents as first-class users.
Compatible with @ensdomains V2 (identity), @LC (reputation), @farcaster_xyz (distribution), ERC-8004 (agent identity), ActivityPub (composability), Nostr (networking), Fediverse (social graph: Mastodon, Threads by Meta). Built on @OfflineProtocol.
This is the most ambitious product I've ever built. Public release soon. 2 weeks of private testing was incredible 🔽

Offline Protocol SDK v0.32.0 is out.
Service subscriptions: a device subscribes to a service on another device and gets every update over the mesh, with no server and no internet. Updates are sealed end to end, or not sent at all. Available in the browser engine, React Native, Flutter and Python, and every binding is regenerated.
Bluetooth LE links now stay up with the app in the background or the screen off, and an Android link recovers by itself when the app on the other phone restarts.
New C# bindings over the C API: typed config, storage, events and transport callbacks.
npm, PyPI and every binding: github.com/Offline-Protocol/…
Just shipped v0.32.0 of @OfflineProtocol mesh SDK!
- Service subscriptions: lease a topic on a peer's service and get every update as it's published, end-to-end encrypted over MLS
- Missed updates come back on the next renewal, no server in between
- New binding: C#
- BLE that holds up in a pocket: a backgrounded iPhone keeps its links, a screen-off Android keeps finding peers
And more bug fixes and optimizations!
