I finally got around to implementing a feature which has been 'coming soon' for 6+ months... Sentiment analysis on every post in your inbox on blueskyinbox.com All functionality still 100% in-browser. Sentiment analysis leverages the incredible transformers.js: huggingface.co/docs/transfo...

My current gym routine: 1. look menacingly at some weights 2. bark orders at claude.ai/code between sets 3. get home and check out the branch from (2) 4. get Claude Code (on my computer) to review the branch against main 5. shower (sometimes) 6. ship

btw, if this DM notification is real, and not just a meta-notification about the fact I apparently need to verify my age in order to *keep* using DMs... then I'm really sorry to whoever it is who's been waiting months for a reply. I'm not ignoring you. At least, I'm not ignoring you on purpose.

My 2025 gitbox so far. It's been a busy old year...

I still don't believe there has ever been a better trance mix ever recorded on earth (possibly within the entire universe) as Tiesto's Trance Energy 2000: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQYn... Damn, to have been there on that New Year's Eve in 1999...

Speaking of blueskyinbox.com, you can now selectively mute notifications for individual search terms, rather than having to globally enable/disable notifications when they get a bit too much. Still only $19 one-time. Absolute steal.

Woops. Why didn't anybody tell me my changelog dates on blueskyinbox.com were off by a whole year? 😳

The DeskVault alpha period has officially closed - thank you to all the ultra early adopters! Beta testing starts today: the price has gone up to $49 but that's still a whopping $50 off the planned launch price for a lifetime license. Grab it today at DeskVault.app - any/all feedback appreciated 🫡

One for the techies: I wrote a new article comparing different ways of recording system audio output (the sound coming through your speakers) on macOS using Electron: stronglytyped.uk/articles/rec...

DeskVault 0.3.0 for macOS now tracks MRR / ARR across each and *all* of your Stripe accounts. Still only $29 one-off, still fast, still private. Ridiculous value. Get it at deskvault.app

Claude code for web: - connects directly to your GitHub repositories - creates a sandboxed environment in which to conduct its work - lets you open a PR once it has finished Working totally "blind" isn't going to fit a lot of the time, but for some smaller tasks, this could be awesome.

Oh Claude, what have you learned from us...

TIL you can pipe data through Claude Code: docs.claude.com/en/docs/clau...

What a nice day to start my Wednesday

Apple Developer, 2025

Ah, tsundoku, my old friend

Not sure AI would be that good at tennis yet

Cloudflare's AI gateway now lets you connect to all major providers directly through your Cloudflare account: no need for separate API keys, no separate billing. One pot of credit, one pane of glass. Very nice: blog.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway-a...

I took cerebras.ai for a spin this weekend. 3,000 tokens/sec inference using gpt-oss-120b. Absolutely insane.

He's done it again look. @samwho.dev dropping a lovely article on Big O notation: samwho.dev/big-o/

Thanks, px307 🫡 (Context: Decking is a repo I haven't worked on in around 10 years. It was like docker-compose, before docker-compose existed, and I and many other users loved it)

I learned today that my Cofounder is using redreach.ai for our business, and he absolutely loves it. @dominiksobe.com take this as high praise indeed - he tries a LOT of things and drops most of them immediately. But he's upgrading his three day pass to a monthly sub imminently 😎

This guy knocks out some of the slickest D&B mixes on YouTube. Impeccable selection, simple mixing, let's the tunes speak for themselves. Give this a listen, and give him a follow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ThI...

Does anyone know precisely how Cloudflare applies CPU limits to long-lived WebSocket connections? I had a socket closed recently on ~2000ms CPU usage - way below the 30 second default. Bumping the limit works, but I want to understand the methodology @cloudflare.social @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social

Do I know anyone on here who is: 1) an indie maker 2) using Stripe as their payment gateway (directly, not through another service) 3) processing at least $300/month through Stripe 4) willing to try out the latest version of DeskVault.app for free and provide honest feedback? Thanks in advance 🙏

Weird bait & switch from Apple. Core Audio Taps was previously listed as stable from macOS 14.2. Now they're trying to claim it's in beta and only available from macOS 26.0 onwards? developer.apple.com/documentatio...

P.S. hi, how is everyone doing? It's been a while 🤗

Just open sourced AudioTee.js; a Node.js wrapper around the macOS system audio capture library I released last month. Quick writeup: stronglytyped.uk/articles/aud... Repo: github.com/makeusabrew/...

If you need real-time voice transcription and you can live without speaker diarization + English-only, you will be hard-pressed to beat AssemblyAI's new "Universal Streaming" API. Incredible latency & accuracy *and* only $0.15p/h. Insane. www.assemblyai.com/blog/introdu...

I can tell you now, Claude, you're going to be disappointed.

Seriously, what are you supposed to believe when a company has this range of reviews? Admittedly the sample size on Yelp is miniscule... but boy, are those reviews *damning* 😅

I've just open sourced AudioTee: a macOS CLI tool which lets you capture system audio output (i.e. the sound coming out of your speakers) from any / all running processes: github.com/makeusabrew/... Notes here: stronglytyped.uk/audiotee Sharing, feedback, contributions all very much appreciated 🙌

Semi-serious founder tip: stop using your products for a few weeks, then revisit them. All the quirks you knew like the back of your hand will suddenly seem less familiar, and you'll get a perspective closer to that of new users. Immediately fix the stuff which confuses you now which didn't then.

I tried AssemblyAI's realtime speech-to-text (STT) API a bit ago - was very impressed. Then I tried Speechmatics' version - was blown away (accuracy + latency were both amazing). Now AssemblyAI are back with 'Universal Streaming'. Weird name, but looks amazing: www.assemblyai.com/blog/introdu...

DeskVault 0.2.0 for macOS is out now! 🥳 Don't let the minor point release fool you - a TON of effort went into this one. It's closer to v1.x than v0.1.x. Abbreviated release notes here: github.com/makeusabrew/... Buy it here: deskvault.app - now only $29 during pre-release for a lifetime license.

🟥🟧🟪 New 🟩🟦🟨 on 🟫⬜️⬛️ gitbox The 2025 edition is here! Check mine at gitbox.app/makeusabrew for an example. Existing users still have their 2024 page preserved in all its glory, e.g. gitbox.app/makeusabrew/2024. Almost half way through the year already - keep on coding! 👊

The next release of DeskVault is *so* close. Just a few snags (big ones - numbers not adding up correctly in some cases) and then it is ready. You can grab a license pre-emptively at deskvault.app - you'll get v0.1.9, and v0.2.0 is just around the corner.

TIL about React's createPortal: react.dev/reference/re... Lets you render children into a different part of the DOM. In my case, a modal which needed rendering before </body> instead of within the `position: fixed` container it inhabited. Definitely other ways to achieve the same goal. But cool.

Dangerously close to dusting off gitbox.app for a 2025 edition. It received very mixed feedback last time around - mostly positive except a post on Reddit where the internet destroyed me

Cursor 1.0 is out! www.cursor.com/changelog/1-0 - BugBot - Background agents in beta (very excited to try this) - Memories (not so excited about this) - Usage dashboard

Posting about it made me go back and use bsky inbox for the first time in a while. I've got to say (and I know I bigged myself up recently about another thing I made - I'm a maniac), I think visually it's the best thing I've ever done, and some of the interactions are absolute :chefs-kiss:

When I built www.blueskyinbox.com I actively tweet - er, skeeted - about it quite a lot, both during and after launch. Amazingly, I got a trickle of sales. Then I stopped (a) being active on bsky (because life) and consequently (b) stopped posting about it, and would you believe it? $0 sales since.

The most important revenue figure nobody's talking about: $/commit. ... I dread to think what mine is. Can it go negative? I think mine's negative.

I think I'm becoming a bad influence on Claude; it's coding more and more like me every day

I'd like DeskVault (built ~September '24) to learn a lot from Bluesky Inbox (blueskyinbox.com - built ~February '25). I think the latter is by far the best looking thing I've made. I had a lot of help from v0.dev, but I am slowly but surely improving my once non-existent design eye.

I haven't worked on DeskVault in *ages*. Way too long. I'm dusting it off this afternoon briefly to go after this rather nuts gross revenue viz I made under the influence of far too much coffee and exuberance. Left: current. Right: WIP changes. #buildinpublic

My fellow indies: * Have you ever bought a 'premium' domain? * How much did you spend? (doesn't have to be exact) * Was it worth it? #buildinpublic

react.email + resend.com + Claude 4 Sonnet = cheat code So, so good 👌

Super cool: Claude Squad lets you run multiple Claude code instances (or other local agents) on separate workspaces. This lets you work on multiple tasks *on the same codebase* simultaneously: github.com/smtg-ai/clau...

Electron + Vercel SDK + Cursor + 30 mins of vibing = 🎆
