I've been playing with a product called Queue, and it's Q U E U E, I think. And it's basically a way to keep a queue of all of this content you want to watch across every streaming platform. And it's because there's so much content across so many streaming platforms, and to make your own queue, and then to see your friends' queues, and to see what content is in most of the people you know's queues. Like it's actually an incredible graph of kind of stuff that people want to watch or have liked that I think we're going to need in this world where there is just a billion sources of content.
Lenny's Podcast, "Lessons on product sense, AI, the first mile experience, and the messy middle", lightning round, favourite recently discovered product; the guest's own spoken answer (YouTube captions).
I will mention if it's okay like a product that I did invest in but um it's a product called Tome and uh and they can take a narrative or that you want to put into a presentation and with AI basically create a um you know, just like a draft of this presentation with imagery and compelling points and it's pretty it's almost as if you like handed this off to an intern and said come back to me with something I can work with and suddenly it's like instantly there. So um that's been like a fun one a fun one to play with.
Lenny's Podcast, "Lessons on product sense, AI, the first mile experience, and the messy middle", lightning round, favourite AI tool not made by Adobe; the guest's own spoken answer (YouTube captions). The guest says they invested in Tome.
First is Build by Tony Fadell. You know, Tony is just an amazing, charismatic, deeply pragmatic product builder. You know, he he's been brave enough to do both atoms and bits, as he says. And uh and his book is just chock-full chock-full of wisdom.
Lenny's Podcast, "Lessons on product sense, AI, the first mile experience, and the messy middle", lightning round, asked for the books they recommend most; the guest's own spoken answer (YouTube captions).
Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Hardware, services4 years
Software5 years
Podcasts, courses, other8 years
Books25 years
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
