🆒 3 Insanely Useful Tools
A curation of awesome websites, tools, & apps that I came across this week…
1. Director
Director is like Lovable but for web automation. Use a prompt to automate almost any task on the web.

2. LLM Stats
LLM Stats is an insanely useful tool that lets you analyse and compare AI models across benchmarks, pricing, and capabilities.

3. Spell
Spell is an AI first alternative to Google Docs. In their words… “Spell is your superhuman writing copilot that writes higher-quality docs than other AI tools”.

Here’s what stood out…
1. Nathan is close to hitting $1k MRR
Nathan is building Harmony, an AI planner that aims to make you more effective in all areas of your life and reach your full potential. Harmony won #1 Product of the Week on Tiny Startups when they launched a few months ago and I’ve been following their journey ever since.

3. Milly hit 40,000 newsletter subscribers
Milly hit 40,000 subscribers with the Generalist World newsletter. Anyone who runs a newsletter knows what a big milestone that is. She shares more details here on what’s worked to grow it. TikTok and LinkedIn seem to be driving most of the traffic, with them being funnelled into an “archetype quiz” lead magnet. Very smart.
my goal was 40,000 subscribers by Oct 31st AND LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED

4. Anthony is making $3k/Month from his local newsletter
Anthony launched a local newsletter for Cleveland 12 months ago and now claims to be bringing in $3,000/month in revenue with 20k subscribers, and is on pace to be making $100k/year by next year all through sponsorships. Meta ads seem to have been their primary growth engine with subscriber acquisition averaging between $0.50-$1.
One year ago, my wife and I launched a small newsletter for our side of Cleveland.
No plan. No budget. Just two locals who thought,
“Would anyone actually read this?”
12 months later:
👉 20,000 subscribers
👉 50% open rate
👉 $3,000/month revenue
👉 On pace for $100K next year— Anthony Briggs (@ADbriggs66)

5. Billionare ships (wait for it)… a Dad Joke Generator
I guess you can ship anything when you’re the CEO of a $24B company. But also, definitely something I would use. Demand & supply.
BREAKTHROUGH! I toiled for years. I tweaked the prompts. I tinkered with context engineering. I tastefully provided lots of training data. Now, I think I (almost) finally have it.
An AI-powered dad joke generator that occasionally generates a not-that-awful dad joke (and
