Whenever I post about Google Finance, I get two top questions: (1) when are portfolios coming? (2) can we get an app? I’m excited to share we’ve added portfolios (can even import from other finance tools with just a screenshot 🤯) and we’re shipping a new Android app today!

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a question, so the reader starts answering before they have decided to read.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Opens with a question
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic
Written for: Indie hackers and solo founders

wow @garrytan just exposed Anthropic as total frauds Claude Code was ONLY 512K LOC ☹️ Gary is shipping 37K LOCs PER DAY so Gary could recreate all of Claude Code in ONLY 13 days! a supposedly $380 billion is big trouble

> be anthropic > see an indie project built on your model > it sold more of your $200/mo subscriptions than your incompetent marketing ever could > ban accounts for using it > copystrike its funny name that drives more discovery of your products @DarioAmodei do you hate success?

Non-technical teams are now shipping production code with no oversight from managers who are busy with 15+ direct reports and getting their hands dirty being player-coaches. Sounds like exactly what I want in my financial institution.
