X tries to attract more publishers and offer $1M for the best January article

Today I read in the news that X is offering a $1 million prize to the author of the most popular long-form X Article published by January 30, 2026, as part of its push to grow long-form content on the platform.

Eligible articles must be original, at least 1,000 words, and winners will be judged mainly on Verified Home Timeline impressions. Only U.S.-based X Premium subscribers can participate.

2026 and your goals. Let's try to set them for Q1.

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

Under the Hood: How AI Robot Works

Hi Product Hunters!,
This isn't your standard animation app with pre-baked video assets. Everything you see is AI generated live.

1. The "Brain": Google Gemini 2.5 Flash
When a user inputs a prompt (e.g., "Do a backflip holding a beer"), we send this intent to Gemini. Instead of returning plain text, the AI generates a JSON object containing executable JavaScript code.

  • This code contains the specific mathematical formulas (Math.sin, cos, lerp) required to calculate joint angles (shoulders, knees, hips) frame-by-frame.

  • The AI dynamically selects props, determining whether to render a standard Emoji or generate a custom SVG path.

2. The "Engine": React & Procedural Animation
The app is built on React 19. The generated code is "compiled" and executed within a requestAnimationFrame loop (targeting 60fps).
