Hi there,
Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. I'm all set to watch Scotland play in the World Cup for the first time since 1998!

Uneed Residency numbers
Thomas shared the numbers behind putting on his Uneed event in France which I briefly attended. It's great to see this level of transparency for an event. You might think events are a great money spinner and they look cool from the outside but they actually often lose the organiser money. Hopefully, he can get some more money from sponsorship (and maybe a little from residents) next time.
There is going to be another event in late October 😀

Hacking Whoop
Another Whoop hack - this guy used Claude Fable to connect his heart rate monitor from his Whoop device to his calendar to work out which calls were getting him stressed 😂
Canva and ChatGPT integration
You can now make an image in ChatGPT and edit it in Canva. Seems very useful for people like me who use basic design tools.
Ride the stock market
This guy made a mad app. You control a motorbike that rides up and down the stock market graphs! https://stonkrider.com
