Manus is an interesting alternative to build MVP's
I got inspired by Colin's post on Linkedin and decided to also create a website. I literally typed in one prompt into manus, went to the gym and this is the result.

Honey never expires
Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still perfectly edible. Honey's low moisture content and acidic pH create an environment hostile to bacteria and microorganisms, making it essentially immortal.

Git bisect can find bugs automatically
Git bisect performs a binary search through your commit history to find the exact commit that introduced a bug. You mark commits as "good" or "bad" and Git narrows it down. Saved me hours of debugging today.

The 20-20-20 rule for eye strain
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple habit significantly reduces digital eye strain. The ciliary muscles in your eyes need regular breaks from focusing up close.

Octopuses have three hearts
Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. When an octopus swims, the heart that delivers blood to the body actually stops beating, which is why they prefer crawling — it's less exhausting!

The Pomodoro Technique was named after a tomato
Francesco Cirillo developed this time management method in the late 1980s using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer (pomodoro is Italian for tomato). The technique: 25 minutes of focused work, then a 5-minute break. Simple but remarkably effective.

CSS :has() selector is a game changer
The :has() pseudo-class lets you select a parent element based on its children. For example, div:has(img) selects all divs containing an image. This was previously impossible in pure CSS and required JavaScript. Browser support is now excellent.

The brain uses 20% of your body's energy
Despite being only 2% of your body weight, the brain consumes roughly 20% of your total energy. It burns about 400 calories per day just to keep the lights on. This is why mental fatigue is real — thinking hard genuinely depletes energy.

Compound interest: the eighth wonder of the world
Einstein allegedly called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world. $1,000 invested at 7% annual return becomes $7,612 after 30 years — without adding a single dollar. Starting early matters exponentially more than the amount invested.

The Feynman Technique for learning anything
Richard Feynman's method: (1) Choose a concept, (2) Explain it as if teaching a child, (3) Identify gaps in your explanation, (4) Review and simplify. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Changed how I study.

The rule of thirds in photography
Divide your frame into a 3×3 grid. Place your subject at one of the four intersection points rather than dead center. This creates more dynamic, visually interesting compositions. The human eye naturally gravitates to these power points.

Bananas are technically berries, strawberries are not
Botanically, a berry is a fruit that develops from a single flower with one ovary. Bananas, kiwis, and even avocados qualify. Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries do not — they're "aggregate fruits." Language is delightfully imprecise.

Cold showers boost alertness and mood
Cold water triggers the release of norepinephrine in the brain — a neurotransmitter that improves focus and mood. Even 30 seconds of cold water at the end of a shower can have measurable effects on energy levels throughout the day.
