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 = 🎆

Boooooo

I'm not sure how much if ever I've tooted my own horn about DeskVault (deskvault.app) on bsky, but I must say - I installed it on my new mac today and despite some rough edges (it's still alpha), it really is awesome and I am super proud of it. If you process payments with Stripe - check it out.

Where has this (free, open source) mac utility been all my life (or at least the last 10/15 years of it)? alt-tab-macos.netlify.app ALT+TAB for macOS. Kicks the pants off cmd+tab by fixing its biggest flaw: only showing applications, not windows. So good.

One of the nicest D&B liquid mixes I've heard in a long time www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JyZ... (It's 4 years old, so you might have already heard it too...)

Very cool: inngest now lets you filter function invocations based on payload values. Your handlers should include sensible tracing info in logs already, but easy access to inngest's perspective is incredibly useful

WHOOP’s recent launch of their 5.0 wearable hasn’t been without the odd controversy, but I’m really excited to get this on, see some new metrics, and see if the sensor accuracy has improved (particularly on the wrist while cycling). Not to mention what it means for API consumers like fitIQ 👀

Not much help from CatGPT today. Pretty cute though, so I’ll let him off

ChatGPT really ramming the point home that I've got absolutely nothing

When AI goes rogue: benign edition (Screenshot from v0.dev)

Currently perusing a list of 'popular standards' on the ISO.org website - how's your Wednesday going? ☕️

Pauline is building one of the coolest startups you may not have heard of (www.iacrea.com), so you should probably listen to her 👇

I used Granola in anger for the first time yesterday during a fitIQ client call. Super impressed. Such a slick product.

I've been trying out some different real-time speech-to-text APIs over the past few days. I've just switched from AssemblyAI (www.assemblyai.com) to Speechmatics (www.speechmatics.com) - they're both great, but the latter is just *so* fast and punctuates in real-time. What a world we live in 🤯

TIL: recent versions of macOS (14.2+) allow you to 'tap' the system audio, allowing you to use the output as an input (my use case being transcription). No need for third party software like Blackhole if you can get this working: developer.apple.com/documentatio...
