Here are reasons why I am the best community manager
→ I translate project vision into clear economic alignment for holders and contributors.
→ I know how to manage attention, I know when to amplify, build quietly or redirect attention.
→ beyond managing the community I know how to read on-chain behavior.
→ I filter noise while preserving authentic culture and energy.
→ I optimize for long-term believers not short term participants.
→ I perfectly bridge the gap between the team and the community members.
→ I operate with a founder level mindset thinking positioning, incentives, cycles and competition.
been CodexBar and I like how it makes tracking my AI coding usage much simpler.
Instead of opening Claude Code or Codex separately to check my usage, I can see everything directly from my Mac menu bar. I also found the reset countdown particularly useful because it helps me know how much usage I have left and when my limits will refresh.
This makes it easier to plan my vibe coding sessions, especially when I'm working on something that requires multiple prompts and iterations.
It's a small convenience but one that makes managing AI coding tools a lot easier. @testdriveso

I'm imagining If my project supervisor had discovered Pangram back when I was finishing up college 😅
I put pangram.com to the test by running two 50+ word samples one written entirely by me and one generated by AI. It accurately distinguished both without any false positives.
I even copy.pasted my raw human text to see if the interface flags pasted input as AI, but it correctly verified it as human writing and highlighted the exact sections cleanly.

Finally got to test out the Style Studio skill videoeditskill.synteq.app by loading the template instructions directly into Claude Code to generate a custom motion graphic clip.
The core workflow is really neat feeding the skill rules into an AI agent like Claude lets you prompt clean motion edits and styled text without building graphics from zero.
However, I ran into a bit of friction during output customizing the template parameters to look exactly how I wanted took several prompts and downloading the rendered video directly is almost impossible.

Tested out Style Studio today and its core concept for short-form video creation is super practical.
Rather than editing clips from scratch, it lets you select a base layout and tweak typography, color palettes, captions and motion to maintain a unified brand aesthetic across recurring informational reels.
However, the media import workflow fell short during my test run. When I tried replacing the template placeholder with my own video footage, the canvas lacked an upload button or drop zone, forcing my editing process to a complete halt before rendering a final output.
Hey @kelanoo, is custom video asset import supported yet?
videoeditskill.synteq.app
To validate my initial thoughts on Tella, I evaluated @TellaHQ output capabilities.
The final production quality, specifically its sleek dual-screen layout options, auto-subtitles and clean aesthetic is top-tier.
However, my hands-on evaluation hit a paywall. Without trial credits available upon signup, I couldn't test the actual recording canvas or test-drive the export pipeline myself.
Also the platform support for both macOS and Windows makes it super versatile
@9ranty, is there any chance we could get a trial voucher to give Tella a proper run?

The other time I saw someone made over $15k using AI agents but AI trading agents can help analyse the market and execute strategies but giving an agent access to your trading account without proper limits is another matter.
This is where @getcompi comes in
compi is a Chrome extension that connects your preferred AI agent, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or Grok to Hyperliquid. You can also connect your own trading bot.
but compi isn't the agent making trading decisions. It acts as a layer between your agent and the exchange, checking every order against rules you've set.
You can define limits for trade size, daily losses and leverage, set slippage limits and even use a kill switch to stop all trading activity when needed.
Another interesting part is that strategies start in paper mode, so you can test them before approving them to go live.
It's also non-custodial. Your wallet approves a trading key that can place trades but cannot withdraw your funds and you can revoke that access whenever you want.
while waiting for the Docs for full insight, compi is currently opening its waitlist.
you Sign up for the waitlist and get compi free for life, including free agent connections and no compi or builder fees on trades or strategies.
You can join here: compi.ai/
I've been seeing a whole lot of agentic video editing on my TL especially in areas of motion graphic, I came across @TellaHQ which I will be recommending for @testdriveso
Tella is not just a motion graphic editor the software has proven to an all round video editor and in less than 10 minutes you get a fully rendered video

videoeditskill.synteq.app
Y'all kept asking me to share my Claude video editing skill
So I built a skill maker: pick your colours, font, background, motion, and download your own in seconds
Give it to Claude/GPT, and it edits in your style

Stellar DeFi needs more than individual protocols. It also needs infrastructure that makes accessing and moving liquidity across the ecosystem easier.
This is where @Bim_Exchange comes in.
BIM Exchange brings together wallet connectivity, token swaps, cross-chain bridging and yield opportunities in one interface. Through integrations with Stellar native protocols like Soroswap and DeFindex, users can swap assets and access yield strategies directly on Stellar.
Beyond giving users another place to trade, BIM helps connect Stellar liquidity to a broader multi-chain DeFi environment.
hours later I'm still getting engagement from my meridian recap.
@StellarOrg is home
Stellar Meridian 2026 just wrapped up in Lisbon and there's quite a lot to unpack from what happened before and during the event.
One thing that stood out to me was how much of the conversation revolved around making Stellar more useful, not just for crypto natives but also for institutions, businesses and everyday users.
Before Meridian, HackMeridian brought together over 350 builders from 36 countries, with around 165 projects submitted and $30K in XLM prizes. The focus was on AI, payments, DeFi and building with Stellar primitives. It's good to see builders exploring practical use cases around the ecosystem.
Nest and Alloy took the top spots, winning the Genesis and Scale tracks respectively. Other finalists included TroqPay, Booker Bob, 4ward and ZKross, with several projects also recognized in the Small Wins category.
Then came the announcements.
On the institutional side, @The_DTCC announced plans to bring tokenized US securities, including Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs and US Treasuries to Stellar with a targeted launch in the first half of 2027.
@Securitize also announced plans to support Stellar, while other developments involving Janus Henderson, Centrifuge, Figure and Marketnode further highlighted the growing interest in bringing traditional financial assets onchain.
On the user and DeFi side, @MetaMask added Stellar as a default network across its mobile app and extension, making it easier for users to access Stellar through a familiar wallet.
@WalletConnect expanded its Stellar support, WalletConnect also announced a partnership with @PenrosePartners to bring WalletConnect Pay to merchants across Bermuda, supporting the government's ambition to build a fully onchain economy.
while @CurveFinance Finance launched its first native deployment outside the EVM ecosystem on Stellar.
There was also a major technical announcement Project Thruput, a new execution model designed to improve Stellar's transaction capacity through parallel processing. Its early benchmarks showed significant performance improvements, with execution scaling across multiple machines.
And perhaps one of the discussions I'll be following closely made by @tomerweller is SDF proposal to explore evolving XLM tokenomics.
The idea is to explore activating the existing network fee pool to fund rewards for productive participation in the ecosystem, such as providing liquidity or capital for collateral.
This is still an early discussion, not an implemented change but I find the direction interesting. It raises an important question about how XLM can become more connected to the economic activity happening on Stellar.
Overall, Meridian felt like a reflection of where Stellar wants to go next.
More institutional assets, better payment infrastructure, improved network capacity, easier access to DeFi and a deeper connection between network activity and XLM utility.
There's still a lot to execute, but the developments from this year Meridian give us quite a bit to follow.
If you are also building on stellar, I will love to connect with you.
Also, shoutout to everyone whose clips I used in this video. I was supposed to be at Meridian this year but unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances kept me from making it.
Hopefully, next year will be different. I'd love to finally experience it in person and get a selfie with @DenelleDixon

If you're wondering how indie hackers like Marc Lou build massive personal brands while scaling products, you need to watch Episode 37 of the God Mode Pod.
One of my favorite moments is the tier-list segment around, where they break down why Marc Lou sits firmly in A-tier for mastering attention and trend-setting, while Theo takes S-tier for scaling products. It's a goldmine of insights on short-form content and growth.

@USDT0_to on Stellar is available on BIM.
Swap it with other Stellar assets from your own wallet, with routes compared across the network's liquidity so you don't have to check them one by one.
The @USDT0_to growth on Stellar has been so fast, we can hardly keep our graphics up to date.
$500M+ in total volume on Stellar ‼️
while everyone is concerned about binance recovering users funds.
I'm thinking, how will binance recover their personal funds. Since a large number of that funds may never be recovered
Just created a few-second video using Minimax by @Hailuo_AI from a single prompt and it came out pretty well. It just needs to improve the smoothness of its motion.
Also, it would be great if there were a web version available.
Spent time voting in active head-to-head matchups on this platform thearena.lol. The UI is super smooth for backing products and viewing real-time sentiment. The Hall of Fame gives top builders a solid competitive edge.
