I made some really, really good progress on my new Mac app today. I’m super happy with how it turned out and where it’s headed. The domain name for it was available too (miracle of miracles), so I grabbed it. Yes, I’m being a little vague right now. When it’s ready for testers, I’ll put out a call.

A tremendously productive day today. Overgrown weeds in the backyard cleaned up, TV in the RV rewired, toolbox cleaned up (a little) and, thanks to Claude Code, great progress made on a new Mac app I’ve always wanted to write. It was a good day.

As a Claude Code test this morning, I spun up an empty Xcode project, gave a short prompt about the history of my old Mac maintenance app, Yasu, and then provided it a screenshot, telling it to write me the SwiftUI code for it.

Holy moly, the results were pretty darned good…

When using chat (Teams, Slack, etc.) at work, if you react to a post with a 👍🏻 emoji or similar, don’t post a message that says “thanks” too. It’s totally redundant and is just as bad as the one line “thank you” email that I rail against.

I chose to nuke all of my RSS feeds in NetNewsWire this morning, save one (try to guess which - it’s not one of mine), with the plan of starting fresh. I was marking most feeds read without even bothering to even skim over them. It seemed pointless to keep such noise around.

I just subscribed to a year of Anthropic’s Pro Plan. Let’s see what kind of trouble Claude Code can get me into…

📷 I managed to catch a full end-to-end rainbow coming out of the dentist office yesterday afternoon…

My RSS VibeReader project turned out pretty much how I wanted it to, and I learned a lot. I use it daily to read certain feeds. But, now that it’s done, I need a new “something” to put my energy into. I think I need to start a podcast and learn all about that now. Searching for a subject…

So I started a thing. Like I said, it was right around the corner…
