Henry and Marie Doce take a selfie in front of the glass entrance door of the Cámara de Comercio Humboldt (Humboldt Chamber of Commerce). A white sign on the door says "¡BIENVENIDOS! WELCOME!" above the Chamber's logo, which features a rising sun over the name. Various flyers and posters are visible on the glass next to the sign. The man, on the right, wears a grey button-up sweater and a name tag that reads "Henry Paul [Humboldt]". The woman, on the left, wears a light-colored cardigan.
A vibrant, futuristic graphic with a neon blue and purple grid extending into the distance, creating a tunnel or wireframe room effect. The text "Hyperfocus AI" is prominent in large purple letters on a light banner in the center, with "TOOLS FOR FOUNDERS" on a smaller, rectangular yellow-gold banner beneath it.
A dark, dramatic image titled "Building While Burning" shows a solo founder fighting burnout at a desk late at night. Description: A man wearing glasses sits in a dark office, intensely focused on his glowing computer screens. He is typing one-handed while calmly holding a white coffee mug with the other. The environment is in a state of chaotic crisis, embodying the "This is Fine" meme aesthetic for startup life. Key Visual Details: * Monitors: Three large computer screens glow menacingly with a harsh red light. The central monitor dominates the frame with a large "500 Internal Server Error" message. * The "Burning": A small, active fire is blazing inside a trash can on the desk, and steam/smoke rises visibly from the laptop keyboard, symbolizing extreme stress and overheating. * Desk Items (Founder Reality): The desk is cluttered with an empty pizza box, empty energy drink cans, and a laptop displaying a small "This is Fine" sticker. * Theme: The overall mood is one of exhausted, determined focus amidst digital and literal chaos. * Text: "BUILDING WHILE BURNING" is prominent at the top, followed by the subtitle "A PODCAST FOR SOLO FOUNDERS FIGHTING BURNOUT."
So I worked with my carrier for DAYS with this. But after finding this comment (and others), I did this: Turned off wifi (dont know if this helps, but my carrier kept insisting i do so when they [didn't] help me for the last two days). Turned off RCS chats. Followed the link above and de-registered my number. Went into my Google account >manage profile>personal information. Deleted my number completely (took 2 tries). Waited like ten minutes. Restarted my phone. Went back into my Google account and re-added my phone number. Went back into chat settings and enabled RCS chat. Hit verify and added my number. It took like two minutes but it connected!! If you don't get the text when following that link, it means you're not registered. Skip that step. THANK YOU!!! I've been going nuts!
Screenshot of TestFlight app showing Spontaneity beta version 1.0.0 (build 13). The "What to Test" section asks testers to use the app naturally for one week, add 2-3 real relationships, respond normally to reminders, and add notes if useful. After one week, testers are asked to share specific behaviors: how many times they reached out, what they did with bad timing, which relationships they added and why, and what happened with the notes feature. Known limitations section is partially visible at bottom.

A Steam Deck home screen displaying the game ‘Fields of Mistria’ prominently. The game cover art features a blonde character with a cape, a windmill, a cottage, and pixelated farm animals like cows and sheep in a scenic rural setting. The text ‘No playtime yet’ is shown below the game’s title. Next to it, part of the cover for ‘XCOM: Enemy Unknown’ is visible.
A shopping cart in a store aisle filled with flat-packed boxes and items, including a crib, a matching changing table, and a storage unit, along with wicker baskets and other baby-related furniture. The cart is part of preparations for a new baby, with the background showing holiday decorations and other shoppers, highlighting a busy store environment.
A glass baking dish filled with partially eaten blonde brownies, topped with scattered chocolate chips. The brownies have a golden-brown crust with a slightly gooey texture in the center. The edges appear more firm and slightly cracked, while the middle is soft and glossy from the chocolate chips. The pan is set on a white countertop.
A screenshot of the work in progress first version of the Spontaneity app website. The text reads: The ADHD Assistant for Routines, Reminders, and Random Fun Spontaneity Simplify your day, build healthy habits, and add a touch of surprise to your routine—all in one app that's actually built by someone with ADHD. Sign up now for early access! What are Spontaneous reminders? For individuals with ADHD, traditional reminders can sometimes feel rigid or overwhelming. This app provides a more flexible way to set reminders, helping you remember to do thoughtful things—like buying flowers for your partner or checking in with a friend—at random, gentle intervals. The goal is to keep things natural and genuine, without the pressure of fixed schedules. 🌸 Because no one wants to feel like they’re just a task on a to-do list!
