Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

🏆 WEEK 5 COMP WINNER 🏆
Yet again making this SO hard to decide, I am bringing together a rubric just to be able to really break these down its getting so close. OVER 37 ENTRIES. Spent all day today looking at YouTube Videos, testing apps, reading through markdown files. Going to spotlight six (no particular order), then a few thoughts on where this is heading as well as the winner out of everyone. 🥊 @Ariel Ortiz , The Praeceptor Honest read: if Ariel had been premium last week, he was the winner and again this week easily can take home the prize but more importantly they are premium now! He went premium and somehow raised his own bar. Idea for a Native iOS app in Swift 6 , three YouTube videos including a 4:28 behind-the-build, voice mode pipeline, 17 operator extractions (Grove, Munger, Walsh, Aurelius, Naval, more). Hero copy reads "A room. Not an app." which was really a great hook, one of those opening lines that makes you very curious right off the rip. What I'd take from Ariel beyond this comp: he treats every brief like a product launch. Even the video stack alone is a walk towards the idea that distribution matters as much as tech now. 🔗 https://praeceptor-web.vercel.app 🔗 https://github.com/orteug/the-praeceptor 📹 https://youtu.be/Cfs1KAC2Ry0 🔥 @Ruby Sparks , The Gut Mechanic Ruby's a monster. Every week crushes it without a doubt. The landing pivots from consumer pain into a B2B sales pitch in one stat (the $530B-lost-to-employee-health number) and her voice across the entire page is sharper than what most paid brand consultants ship. She also created an ENTIRE skool community for it. Which is a win in its self. Twenty years of chronic illness in the founder story. IG, Skool, a 14-minute course, B2B framing layered into the consumer hook so the consumer side does discovery and the B2B side does monetization.

⚠️ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY ⚠️
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- 🛑 THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- 💰 HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- 🚨 IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. 🙏
I’ve created folder structures. What’s next?
Laying this out for discussion. I created folders and structures for a content creation project - churn out a reel every week. What do we do after this? Do we just run the folders under claude co-work/code to churn out the results? I’m assuming this doesn’t require coding any scripts. And when does PRD come in? Purely for coding projects? And how does it interact with the folder structures?
📊 POLL 📊 What is your software development experience level?
I’ve never touched a line of code before AI. I’ve said it many times to a lot of you. It feels in this community like sometimes that makes me an outlier. I’m curious how many others out there are in a similar boat to me and how many span the spectrum. Drop your vote below and leave a comment! ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
