Andy: A couple weeks back I mentioned I was thinking of building a travel-related app. We've made progress already, as it's a lot faster to code with AI tools like Replit... but it's by no means 'easy.' To help us keep goig, would any folks here be willing to take 5 minutes (6 if you're really verbose in your responses) to share a little bit about your travel preferences?

I've been experimenting with using AI for content creation / customer acquisition for some time now - ended up generating over 3B views and learned a lot about what actually gets people to stop scrolling and engage...

Randall: Recently came across this platform that allows you to create videos with code. Seems an incredibly powerful tool to have in a pipeline to automate video creation with data and code. In fact, the demo video was made with code.
