    Thank you so much for this link :-) I'm studying old operating systems, because it's very interesting how we've been so productive with less screen pixels than we have today. It's …

    Looks interesting, but missing notarization and source code gives me a headache in this world of vibe coded apps. But glad you enjoyed the afternoon with Claude and get a personal …

    Really cool - I love the retro look&feel of it. Like Photoshop 1.0 Is it a heavily customized SwiftUI app?

    We keep shipping data to the cloud to analyze it, but modern Macs have enough horsepower to query millions of rows locally in milliseconds. Even an 8GB MacBook Neo. I built ColumnL…
