225M devices nobody's building for

Hey Reader 👋 Here’s a number that caught my attention: 225 million. That’s how many Fire TV devices are out there globally. Until recently, building for them meant learning a whole new stack. Not anymore. Amazon just released Vega OS - their new OS for Fire TV that lets you ship apps with React Native. Same stack we already use every day. So I spent the last few weeks building a full Podcast app on it. Today, the tutorial drops on YouTube. You’ll learn:

Here’s what I found, and how to set it up yourself. But first, a quick word from this week’s sponsor. It’s another hackathon, and...
Hey Reader 👋 At the beginning of the year I sat down to review my business expenses. Not the fun kind of work, but something I do at least once a year. I opened the software subscriptions category, scrolled to the bottom, and saw the total. 26,218 USD Just for tools. Not ads, not contractors, not equipment. Just monthly subscriptions to software. I’m not gonna lie, I sat there for a good minute. Because no single tool on that list felt expensive. $20 here. $99 there. Each one is nothing....
