Satirical infographic titled "Challenge-Accepted-WM 2026 — Wenn die Klimabilanz entscheiden würde…" ("If the climate footprint decided…"), showing a fictional 2026 World Cup group stage where teams are ranked by per-capita CO₂ emissions (tonnes per year) instead of match results — lower emissions rank higher and earn more points. Twelve groups (A–L) each list four nations with their emissions value and points. Group winners include Mexico (4.35), Bosnia-Herzegovina (6.14), Haiti (0.25), Paraguay (1.92), Ivory Coast (0.57), Tunisia (2.47), Egypt (2.21), Cape Verde (1.13), Senegal (1.05), Jordan (2.78), DR Congo (0.05), and Ghana (0.78). High-emission nations finish last in their groups, such as Qatar (27.60), Saudi Arabia (19.66), Belgium (16.79), USA (15.81), South Korea (13.70), and Curaçao (12.34).

Screenshot of a pull request titled "Rewrite Morgenblau as a Go + React app #4" on dominik.social/morgenblau, opened by dominik.social and targeting main.

A "What changed" section lists rebuilt auth and routing in Go, the new SQLite data layer, reimplemented subscription and feed features, SSRF-safe HTTP handling, a rebuilt frontend, removal of the old PHP/Laravel/Inertia code, and updated docs. The test plan is just `make test`. The diff stats at the bottom show +16,174 / −37,892 across 498 changed files.

“To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor. The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a person alone reading a book that interests them; and all economics, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, are only valuable in so far as they prolong and multiply such scenes.” by C.S Lewis

Screen recording demonstrating the "Autofill from Notes" AI feature in Billow, a financial OS for solopreneurs and small agencies. The user navigates to the "Create Lead" page, which shows an empty lead form on the left and a rich-text Notes panel on the right. The user types a free-form meeting note. The user clicks the "Autofill from Notes" button. A loading overlay appears with playful status messages. The AI detects that Jane Miller doesn't yet exist as a contact in the CRM and presents a modal to create a new contact, pre-filled with her name and email extracted from the note, along with optional phone and role fields. The user confirms with "Create & Fill," and the lead form is automatically populated. All inferred from the unstructured note. The user clicks "Create Lead" and is taken to the Leads list, where a success toast confirms the lead was created.
