Just updated my app to be a free download! Also added #iPhoneDuo support. Limit screen time by putting a '90s modem in front of distracting apps. (There's a one-time cheap unlock to dial up for longer periods.)

Zen is really, really close to Arc – much better than anything else I tried (like Vivaldi). I do plenty of Google Meet at work and that works *fine* – I feel like Meets are possibly slightly worse quality than in Chromium, but they're good enough by far.

Played with the iPhone Duo in an Apple Store. Somehow my favourite thing was how books look on the *front* display. The main reason I don't see myself getting one is that I don't like the idea of choosing between screens all the time. I don't even like having more than one pair of shoes…

I feel like a humour-based captcha could filter out AI quite well. Not sure I've ever once seen one manage "intentionally funny". (Though it would exclude many humans, too.)

Realised Claude Code can tidy our digital movie/TV collection: - Renaming files consistently - Helping evaluate dupes (resolution, even analysing noise ratios etc) - Cleaning up Plex stuff (refreshing metadata, suggesting settings) - Tidying/monitoring Transmission via local "remote" access 😍

A coworker mentioned The Core Protocols, "a set of communication protocols focusing on human-to-human communication", and I'm fascinated and delighted and a little uncomfortable too. Imagine starting a sentence with "As a perfectee …".

Tried the new Safari "Notify Me" thing to monitor for price drops on some scales I wanted. Very handy! (I know CamelCamelCamel exists but I wanted to try this one.)

I likened our system's breadcrumb trail on item pages to a "curry mile" of forms 🧐 We wanted to check forms weren't generally broken and followed this breadcrumb trail to conveniently find a series of fairly complex forms – item, contract, seller, auction house.

when i mention "claude" you can assume i'm talking about the albino alligator not the llm

@raycast.com An annoying thing in the iOS app AI chat: If I "stop" to make a correction, the bot then doesn't seen the stopped/cancelled message. With Claude it does, and that makes more sense to me.

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

I borrowed the company #AppleVisionPro again. I missed it! I ordered Zeiss lenses to do it properly, and it took submitting the prescription THREE TIMES with escalating annotations and a letter-as-image before they stopped rejecting my prescription (from today) as "expired" 🫠

@raycast.com I'd love a setting to Window Management where repeating a command cycles displays only. E.g. "Left Half" once is on this display; twice is on other display. Same for "Maximize" and so on. This is why I've clung on to Divvy.

One more thing I miss from tmux in Herdr is prefix+prefix to jump to the last pane. It was very quick to type and I do it all the time. prefix+tab is slightly less convenient in a way that I think is not just muscle memory.

@zen-browser.app is still holding up as an #Arc alternative, a week in. I used container tabs today to have a split view with different sessions. Handy! The icon is strangely unmemorable so I just now adapted this one: github.com/henrik/zen_browser...

@liss.bsky.social Would be nice if Callsheet had a way of finding a movie you recently looked up via the Plex integration. Perhaps including it in the search history?

Trying @zen-browser.app again. Really impressed this time around! So far, feels like the good parts of #Arc plus improvements, like remembering HTTP auth, and being able to get a full-width URL bar at top. Hope it (and Chromium -> Gecko) holds up! Arc's crumbling and always had some rough edges.

Trying the #Vivaldi browser again as an #Arc user after hearing good things about the extreme customisability and it's possible to get a full address bar at top (nice!)… but then you can't remove the sidebar (tab bar) one? 🫠

POLYSLOP, noun. From polyglot + slop. A person writing copy in multiple languages with AI assistance, rather than relying on translators.

My council emailed to confirm voter registration. The linked page requires two security codes. The email mentions both security codes right after each other. I'm so curious why they have two! Surely there's no added security (but some added faff).

Proposing the term "Omega Vibe", after the Sandi Metz "Omega Mess". Applies to a piece of code where a high level of vibe coding is acceptable, as it's mostly isolated from other code and outer correctness can be verified to a satisfactory level.

@liss.bsky.social The Plex integration in Callsheet is glorious! Looked up some vaguely familiar guest actors in two Murder She Wrote episodes. The right episodes were just right there. Well done ✨

Coding agents are so nice for the boring non-coding parts. (Also for the boring coding parts.) Examples: - Fixing merge conflicts. - Finding or setting up complex data locally. (Just got a table of links to items in a hammer sale showing each of several new states.) What else?

Most of my code review these days (direct to Claude while iterating, or by meat proxy in our commit review tool) seems to be about comments. Somehow Claude is amazing at code and quite bad at determining what's relevant for a comment.

@anilineapps.bsky.social Bug, iOS: Pasting content into a Bluesky-only post leaves the send button disabled. Making a change enables it. Did not happen for Mastodon only or Bluesky + Mastodon but didn't test thoroughly. Could reproduce the issue several times.

Finally started working on Git worktree support in our monolith and dev tooling, so agents step less on each other's toes. Looked for an emoji for the Notion page and I'm loving the Tanabata tree: 🎋 Most or all emoji designs are branchy AND it has tags to evoke Git 👌

New AI pet peeve: ambient Claude in Slack ("Claude Tag") reacting with emojis. You see a 👍, feel a flush of the warmth of human interaction, then see it was a human interaction simulator 😔 It's fine when the emojis act as a succinct response, like a 🤐 when told to hush…

I made an iOS app! It puts a '90s modem in front of distracting apps, so you dial up to access them for a while. 50% of my motivation was wanting a minimalist blocked-by-default screen time app and 50% was dial-up nostalgia.

> ● Master has advanced on those files since the merge-base, so I'll cherry-pick the vip-status delta onto a fresh branch (not checkout the files, which would revert master's work). Claude means the legacy branch name, but this got a very Harry Potter house elf vibe. (Or worse.)

(Removed my app announcement since I realised I hadn't yet jumped through Apple's EU market hoops 🫠 Soon, hopefully!)

A vibe learning is to get specific about visual changes where possible - not "make the margin a bit tighter" but "tighten the margin by 50%", if that's the idea in my head.

I hate when sharing links from an app includes boilerplate like "Hej! Check out this DESIGNBLUNDER from IKEA." Does anyone like this? Surely you want to add your own context if any is needed? Thankfully I've been able to ensure my employer's app shares the link only.

@anilineapps.bsky.social Would be nice if long posts could be split into multiple using "+" on Bluesky while remaining a single post on Mastodon, but perhaps the UI for that would be too complex. Have not thought much about what it might look like.
