What is Mars?
It’s a question I’ve been getting almost everywhere I go. To best answer that, let me take you on a journey on how it came to be:
Ever since I started working as a developer & previously as a video editor, I’ve always needed a fast computer. So, I had to buy them:
Razorpay (
@Razorpay
) has taken the entire Testing in Prod approach today with my account.😂😂
A Razorpay employee accessed my LIVE account, created a subscription payment, paid for it & then refunded it to himself lmao.
1. I was never informed about any "tests".
2. The worst
My mom keeps sending me messages to correct spellings and grammar, so I made an iPhone shortcut that takes a message from the clipboard, corrects the mistakes, and puts it back on your clipboard.

A friend of mine had been contemplating asking this girl out for a while now. Yesterday she asked him out.
This man just sent me 4 paragraphs about how he can’t believe his luck 😂🍀
Wishing this for all my techbros
I made my Dad’s basic Windows laptop into a development machine in just above a minute and I can do the same for you.
I’m working on Turing to help passionate devs (like you?) who are struggling to code on a weak machine 👇🏽🧵
Here’s what I’m working on next
An IDE for app developers that takes all the compute to a cloud machine. So you can build android, flutter, react native apps, even on Chromebook!!
If you’re an app developer, especially with a low compute machine, I would love to beta test this
So, got in touch with engineers at Razorpay. They sat with me, understood the issue & fixed it within a few hours.
They also reimbursed me for all the charges that were incurred.
Thank you so much for this Vivek, hoping I never need this again though :P
I went out a couple of days ago and a friend told us that he invested some money in an FD, and I kid you not 3 others said, "abey,

@warikoo
, thank you for spreading financial knowledge.
For the past one year I’ve been ideating on a dating app. Last week I left my full time internship to start working on this idea, I present to you,
@twinehq
.
After talking to almost 50 - 100 people in the age bracket of 22 - 30, I’ve figured out what I want to build.
2023 was the year of side quests:
Jan - May
It started with me leaving my internship

full time. Huge props to
@mohit141
for that 15 minute meeting which changed the trajectory for my career.
Twine taught me how to do branding
I’ve been working on a digital assistant and here’s a demo of something it can do that siri, alexa or google assistant can’t do.
I think it’s insanely cool that we can do this right now.
I want someone with experience to answer these question:
What are they actually doing in these war rooms? It's not like anything new is being built and deployed on that day?
They aren't doing customer support as that's probably handled by reps in call / msg centres?
I'm pretty
Loved this, I see this from so many founders and I absolutely hate it.
Just fucking pay for the ecosystem you are leveraging, you think anyone would’ve cared for your stupid little app had it not been a one click download from a store people trusted?
How have you made your
Super duper happy to announce that
@viveknathani_
has joined
@marscomputer
full time as a founding engineer.
We worked together at our first internship and have been bros since then. He's one of the most cracked engineers I've had the privilege to work with.

It takes a lot of love and care to build something great, to build something that people love & look forward to using.
So if you are making something, I hope you put in everything you got. Make it functional & beautiful, because that's how you push the human race forward.
I had one of the best product demos for Mars today. They literally had a jaw drop reaction when I ran it.
I love it when people follow up with all the things that can do with Mars.
The next generation of computing ✨
I spent 12 hours today trying to get one feature working, which was requested by one user.
I only did that because I know how much they’ll appreciate it.
Honestly, I live for these days :)
To anyone who doesn’t understand the

For the past 4 days me and
@anubhavitis
have been breaking our heads trying to get this black window up & running.
It’s 2:30am and I finally got it up & running. Although, have a lot more to do.
@anubhavitis
told ya - 2am code always works 😂
Today a Mars user told me that they can now freely travel because Mars can handle all their work on the go.
They are also NOT buying a new PC / laptop because Mars works better.
Fucking nailed it mate. ✨
The Unfinished Project!
Whether you're a designer, developer, or just a professional procrastinator, we've all got a collection of half-baked unfinished projects gathering digital dust.
So, here's our sincere effort to make you feel a little guilty about your unfinished
Mars machines can now run Windows. I'm looking for some 3D designers / design agencies that would love to try it in their workflow.
You get a very powerful machine (Nvidia 4070) to do your work on & you can connect to it from anywhere with anything.
(even outside with an iPad)
I showed the demo for the internet computer to 3 people yesterday & all their jaws dropped.
- killer internet so editors can download terabytes of footage instantly.
There’s so much more that I want to show off, I’ll do it once all the private demos are over.
A week ago I stumbled upon a puzzle made by
@amodm
— took me ~10 hours to crack. Before I release how I did it, I would love if you peeps took a shot at it :)

Love how I am able to work on heavy projects even while travelling without having to worry about things crashing every 5 mins.
All thanks to the genius of

Mars can easily handle my workflow.

We really need to do something about our names, got goosebumps when I read the opener only to realise it's not for me 😂
Congrats on clearing the entry 🍾
For the past 1 month I’ve been testing this new social media platform called Openvy (
@WeAreOpenvy
). I was one of the first few 100 people who got onboarded on the platform. Here are my thoughts on it —
I was one of the very few people lucky enough to get a fold invite. After 2 weeks of testing the app & a 45 minute call with

India isn’t for beginners.
This is genuinely genius, marketing a glorified restaurant filter and new T-shirts as a groundbreaking feature.
I do mean this in the most sincere way possible, not sarcasm.
To solve for their dietary preferences, we are today, launching a “Pure Veg Mode" along with a “Pure Veg Fleet” on Zomato, for customers who have a 100% vegetarian dietary preference.
So a quick update on this, Prasad from dominos called & apologised for the entire fiasco.
He said they’ll be refunding my order & they sent a good pizza today as a sorry gift.
Thanks

What I love about Mars is that the first set of users I have are hobbyists.
They build because they love building, they are small entities trying to make something bigger than themselves.
These are exactly the people I want to empower with Mars.
so my laptop died and
@lifeofadvait
was kind enough to give me an early access to Mars.
the fact that i can get all of my work done from an ipad with just internet is just amazing.
He really is building something incredible here
Today seems like a good day, for the past 20 days I was working on 2 big projects. One got completed today and the other one was majorly de-risked.
Feels good, can sleep in peace today :)
There has been a sudden increase in undisclosed paid ads from accounts with 10 - 15k followers.
The posts genuinely feel legit but I lose so much trust in the brand the moment I find out it’s paid.
WHO THE FUCK WATCHES AMAZON MINI TV????
I went through 2500 lines of C + Rust code & asked copilot whatever I didn’t understand.
This to me seems like the best implementation of LLMs yet, genuinely felt like I had Jarvis with me.

1. Should know mobile development (ideally flutter).
2. Should be able to build a barebones backend.
Anything you don’t know I’ll teach you. Send me a notion page with what you built, why you built it & what did you use to build it.
The great thing about passionate people is that they love sharing, you can spend hours with them and learn about their subject in great depth.
Recently I had two meetings which were supposed to be fairly small but extended to 5 - 6 hours. Just because these people are passionate

orange seems to give different hex values depending upon where you capture it from. Is this a rendering issue, or has swiggy messed up?
The actual values should ideally be RGB: (252, 128, 25)

Grandpa broke his iPhone screen & got an Android phone. Came back one day later and asked to switch back to the broken iPhone.
I want the nectar generation to build tech that’s truly simple & can be picked up by anyone :)
