Hey brad. Love your blog's layout. The neon sign headings are so catchy! And I'm going through some tough times in my life, and I can totally relate how cathartic the process of 'creation' is. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad it was helpful! Sorry you're going through some tough times :( Hope you can find a way through and find the support you need from friends and family. Share your creations would love to have a look!!!
Thanks. Besides stories, music was once a great avenue for me to express. Some of my tracks are here - https://soundcloud.com/karthikeyan-kc.

Very interesting! How does it work?
The main worker is a .Net API with Hangfire that hits a public facing API from the radio station. That data is stored in a MySQL database that feeds a React dashboard front end. There's some caching that happens behind the scenes to help with some of the large data crunching.
Ah the radio station has an api. I was thinking you were doing song matching or something, nope much simpler than that!

#905So many things - reminds me of the days when you'd throw together a quick shell or Perl script to solve a very particular itch. So I have a whole collection of apps, portals, demos, etc. Which is what leads to my issue: cognitive overload, and very high context switching costs especially as I'm usually on multiple work and "hobby" projects at a time, with multiple projects spread across term tabs, IDEs and Claude rem…
I would love to have a look

#906Oh man a few things 1. A dashboard that tracks my personal metrics (github, strava, todo completion, flossing) 2. A eink display for that dashboard 3. A realtime node graph that shows a codebase (and/or its diffs) in a way that I can visualize what functions call which, and under what conditions 4. A agent that automatically fills out government forms and creates invoices for my friends brewery based on the delivery…
Is 3 open source?

#907I made https://github.com/gagarwal304/meridian to analyze claude's open telemtry data and learn how to improve my claude.md for token efficiency and better output from claude code
What did you learn/change?

#908Claudhd It's a user daemon that runs on my machine and exposes a unix socket, and then a bunch of hooks in claude, zsh, vim, etc, that report directory and commands I've run and all that, pipes it to claude Haiku for summary, and then stores context in sqlite. It also exposes that data as MCP so I can use claude to say "hey what was I doing yesterday," or any arbitrary time range. I find that in the age of using AI a…
How do you do this? (The hooks part)

#909I made a SaaS platform that automatically generates a customer support and lead gen bot using clients' website!
Can you tell me more about the process?

#910CodeMerger: https://codemerger.nl I've never liked the lack of control I feel using agents or tools like Cursor or Antigravity. I found myself having much better results simply pasting full source code in free chat, so I built a tool around that philosophy and I've been exclusively developing with it for a year now. It includes a Project Starter and code architecture analysis tool. Presentable: a photo library sorter…
