It's really removed all the pain points from my practice hours, especially when internet access is shaky.

#533- usagi, for tracking Claude usage in the macOS taskbar. Lots of these around, but I wanted one that wasn't buggy and constantly adding features: https://github.com/duggan/usagi
- RockstarNinja, for sharing Claude plans and sessions. Since it's a bit of a data hog signups are limited, but me and my cofounder use it all the time: https://rockstar.ninja
- TweetEmbed, for browsing an offline Twitter archive and getting self-contained HTML copy/paste-able cards: https://duggan.github.io/tweetembed/
- bewitch, a terminal based metrics collector and data visualization system: https://bewitch.dev/
Each one of these has been a great way to really push on automating build processes, see what Claude can do for automatic documentation (screen captures, etc), and trying to give a distinct visual identity. In my next project, I'm trying to de-LLMify the prose it generates by using my own blog posts and aggressively pruning and integrating into the prompt.
The biggest change has just been unlearning "cost". Stuff I've subconsciously shied away from since intuition built up over a career has given me a sense of how long things take that just isn't true anymore. Still learning!

#536I built a little Gmail cleaner because my inbox had a bunch of "newsletters I unsubscribed from in my head but never actually did." Headers only, never message bodies, because privacy should still matter, I think. It worked very well and the amount of spam I get dropped dramatically, which was the point. Everything was built with AI as part of a 12-in-12 challenge I'm doing, where I'm building 12 products in 12 month…

#538- self-hosted POPSQL alternative - https://github.com/p-raj/collab-sqlc - CleanMyMac alternative based on opensource tools - https://github.com/p-raj/open-cleanmymac - Standup meetings to comic generation - https://github.com/p-raj/standup-to-comics - Configurable Pomodoro - https://github.com/p-raj/open-tomato A few more closed source ones that aren't any close to be in a working state.
I was... not prepared for your standup to comic README. Besides just being a cool idea, you gave me some things to think about and several new rabbit holes to explore.

#539The front camera apps always show the mirror preview. Most of us hate photos others take of us, but love our selfies. It's because we groom ourselves and find our perfect angles using the mirror preview. So it's jarring when we see the photos of us taken by others. I always wanted a camera app that showed the non-mirror preview. Surprisingly most camera apps don't have this option. So I created this app to scratch my own itch:)
Note: Photos and videos are only stored in the browser. No data is sent to any servers. You can also install this as an app from your browser since it's a progressive web app.
