    While the language itself doesn't seem very interesting (which is perhaps the point). The idea of building a new language on top of the CLR runtime feels very wise. Instead of a ne…

    While I think this is good advice, I do think one can make the given writing more accessible by adding small details, like expanding acronyms the first time you use them. Or provid…

    This post appears to be a newsletter with links to some of their recent posts. Admittedly nothing super interesting stood out to me this time. But I am still waiting very impatient…

    Widgets are possible to do with Flutter, but you have to implement them natively and do a bunch of FFI for passing data. I went cross-platform from the start because I have only so…

    I would like to offer that as a feature. There are some companies that sell access to connected car APIs, so I would probably go through that route.

    This is very true, speeding tickets and parking tickets become very annoying to trackdown otherwise.

    Funny story, I actually used a very AI-generated Astro template made by someone else, and it's gotten me annoyed enough that I'm now making my own from scratch. So perhaps there wi…

    Hahaha. I hear you. Despite the complaining (I actually forgot to talk about the week long pain that was figuring out why tracing and telemetry would break the build), this project…

    Hi HN! OP here. This is my first post and I'm very grateful to see it on the front page. This app was a lot of fun to build, and I really enjoyed putting together the writeup. I've…

    I totally agree. Don't get me wrong, LLMs helped a lot here, Copilot has been my trusty tool from the day it hit the market, But agents were not really a thing then. In general, my…

    Agreed. Perhaps I'll write a follow up that talks about the actual technical details more. I didn't want to lose sight of the story by getting bogged down in the technical details …

    It's not a bad idea, but everything I know about those days they are not fun to work with, and I didn't have one anyway.

    Haha, that's certainly one way to see it. I really enjoyed making the app, so it was less about laziness more about an itchy trigger finger.

    Glad to hear. Hey, if you want to use/try out the app, hit me up: my username @ Gmail.

    I don't strictly disagree, but as I mentioned in the article, those weren't really an option at the time. Claude code was nascent and not very reliable, and I actually like writing…

    I agree with you that at a large scale this is a problem. The one thing I decided very early on (when thinking about if/how I would grow this app beyond my family), is that this is…

    That's actually not a bad idea, if I pick this up again, I will definitely try that. Thanks.

    Heh, this is indeed rather unfortunate. Right as I finally got the look and feel to a relatively polished point, Liquid Glass dropped, making it rather obsolete. But to be honest, …
