I'm building Orate, a free public speaking app:

* Users are given a prompt and have 2 minutes to answer.

* Speeches are reviewed by AI and other users.

Speaking eloquently "off the dome" is an incredibly useful skill, improving all your interactions with other people. And like a muscle, you can train it with dedicated practice until it becomes effortless.

It has been very fulfilling to listen to other people's speeches, knowing that we're helping each other pursue our shared goal of becoming excellent communicators.

If you're looking to improve your public speaking, I recommend you give it a try!

I use a single ultrawide at home and dual-monitors at work.

Initially thought having one monitor experience was more seamless, but I do miss implicit window organizational aspect that dual monitors provide. And screensharing on the ultra-wide is a pain.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the engineers that worked on this service.

AWS User Notifications allows configuring EventBridge events to be delivered via Console, email, mobile app, and/or AWS Chatbot.

Aggregating notifications while respecting data sovereignty via Notification Hubs was especially tricky to get right. Hope you guys enjoy.

Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions, good chance the PM will see them.
