gm legends! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's issue: a tool that lets you blog via WhatsApp, a refreshed take on language learning, and a tool that marries AI and human ability when it comes to networking. Let's dive in.
No excuse not to write
Writerry: A tool that lets you blog directly from WhatsApp
Since setting up my first blog in 2004 as a Club Penguin nerd (yes, I had opinions on igloo designs), I’ve been hooked on tools that make publishing easier. Writerry might take the cake—it’s so simple it’s almost ridiculous. Just text your thoughts into WhatsApp, and it turns them into a blog post, handling SEO, formatting, and publishing for you. It’s peak no-effort blogging, but I do wonder about scalability—can it handle high-volume bloggers or more complex needs like images? Either way, for busy pros or anyone who breaks into a sweat logging into WordPress, this feels like the easiest way to get your thoughts out there.
Design-focused learning
Kann: An app to help you master Japanese vocab.
Education apps are all really good at getting ton of learning content jammed inside them but often fail at making the experience feel a bit less, school-like. Kann does something that I wish more learning apps did, a design-first approach. It uses Swift's natural UI gift and pairs it with educational content to make the app fell pretty, magical, all while learning. The only thing it can't do is force me to practice, not even an angry green owl can do that.
More human AI
Socap.ai: An AI networking copilot for entrepreneurs
In a world full of AI tools that try to do the networking for you (mainly by sending awful cold emails), it’s nice to see Socap in a different lane. The concept is simple: You connect your email/LinkedIn and Socap populates a searchable, shareable list of your network. In other words, the AI does what it’s good at (quickly analyze large troves of data) and you do what you’re good at (seem human when contacting humans). My only hesitation here is data protection — do I have to let an LLM scrape my entire personal inbox to get the full benefit?
Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
