Helped my parents with their iPad tech issues, they can’t remember any of their passwords or accounts. Understanding which credentials are for which services (and why) is really hard for them. Wondering: would a single seed phrase be easier or harder for them?

Front end help: what’s the best JS/TS framework or library for building static landing pages quickly? Looking to spend minimal time theming/building components. Webflow has been good as a fast no-code tool, but they up charge on every feature and aren’t super flexible

Would love to hear more long form 1:1 interview type podcasts in the Web3 space (founders, leaders), but also more accessible for non pure crypto folks. Sort of like a combo of Lex Fridman and the @a16zcrypto podcast, both of which are awesome

FC things I like: - Community feels intimate, like the size of a high school? But also open and large at the same time - Comments section is actually delightful.

Normally an EVM guy, but been working on Stardust’s Solana integration. Really fun! Solana stuff I like: - Separation of logic and state: everything’s an “account”, like Linux files - Token standard is easy to use: can literally create an NFT from the CLI - Rich metadata: concept of “uses”, like MMO item d
