Easy mode coding

goood morning legends. Welcome back to yet another edition of the Leaderboard. The newsletter where we breakdown some of the products you should know about. In today's issue: An app that makes tattoos interactive, an AI-powered reading buddy, and an all-in-one AI web developer. Let's dive in.

Skin deep

InkStory: A mobile app that turns tattoos into sounds.

I have a lot of tattoos—most of them meaningless, and I’m fine with that. But InkStory takes tattoos into a whole new dimension. It lets you pair your ink with sounds—like a loved one’s voice or a favorite song—and play them back by scanning the tattoo. Imagine the voice of a best friend or the soundtrack of a life-changing moment etched into your skin, ready to be heard whenever you want. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a clever way to make something deeply personal even more alive.

2Read: AI Kindle Reading Buddy

2Read feels like an AI-integrated version of Readwise - it syncs your Kindle highlights and lets you use AI to create and export summaries, search notes, and gather insights about your reading trends. A tool like this seems like a boon for folks who use e-textbooks or other digital study aids and don’t yet have a good note-taking system. But I wonder: what’s the value-add here for those already syncing Kindle highlights to, e.g, Notion, which also comes with AI integration?

Who needs code anyway?

Wegic: An AI-powered web designer, developer, and manager.

I don’t know how to code, but I’ve wrangled my fair share of WordPress templates and plugins. Wegic feels like the next step for folks like me—letting you design, build, and even manage a website with simple, human language. While tools like Cursor and Bolt.new are great for developers, Wegic makes testing an idea or launching a site as easy as writing a sentence. At the price of basic hosting, it’s hard not to imagine where this could go next—content creation, e-commerce, maybe even full-fledged web apps. For now, it’s a solid win for non-techies ready to share their ideas with the world.
