https://rounak.taptappers.club/fitness - this is my personal site (recently re-designed). The Fitness page is the highlight. It's still WIP, so quite a number of things are blank. …

https://rounak.taptappers.club/fitness I crunched Strava data (the Strava MCP project is incredible, and I ended up contributing to it!) and built myself this fitness hall of fame …

Vim mode isn't working, oh no!

Now that this hosted CC is achieved, next up, I think scheduled workflows would be coming. For example, certain open-source repositories host data files scraped regularly from sour…

ElevenLabs says they've developed a model which can interpret dogs' bark.

Thank god it'll say "I use Claude btw", not leading to unnecessary text wars (and thereby loss of your valuable token credits).

Somehow the Mac desktop app seems to be working.

This kind of tool should also be built-into the post-processing pipeline of paperless-ngx. Well-parsed markdowns would be better indexable for search.

> can capture a bigger slice of THE FUTURE History says that the future is actually written by the nerds and not the drumbeaters (ah read CXOs). In all this drama, the deep work in…

Given a very different paywall model for Substack, what exactly would work for bypassing their paywalls? Wouldn't we always require a paid account to cache the HTML through (the Sc…

Been listening to Hardcore History recently - very very intriguing. Also, am a fan of a new video podcast by Amit Varma & Ajay Shah called [Everything is Everything]( https://www.y…

The one similar product I had come across is Kubeshark ( https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark ). But admittedly the eBPF way seems more performant theoretically (given you can af…
