Dev builds 'NFX' network effect synthesizer with Grok from Casado's moat thread
seanmcdonaldxyz · x · 2026-10-23
Developer seanmcdonaldxyz used Grok Build to turn Martin Casado's moat thread into 'NFX: The Network Effect Synthesizer,' a Moog-style web tool. Eight controls — value law (Sarnoff/n log n/Metcalfe/Reed), graph shape, links, strength, scale, rival size, lock-in, and market ceiling — drive a live advantage-versus-scale plot with a superlinearity readout, plus a gallery of historical cases like telephone network S-curves.
