If Sonos worked more reliably I’d consider buying their insanely expensive speakers more seriously. Sadly

🔔New app Alert! Trowser No one asked for it, and now it's here! You can now pin a website in a small pane to your Windows System Tray! Why would you want to do this?? Well, many times I will pick up my phone for a quick scroll while I wait for a long running task to fail. So why not embed that…

@isaacrlevin.com, great show. I'd love to come on and talk open source Windows apps!

I spent all* my GitHub Pro+ tokens in February, what was my output? This past month I spent nearly every night and weekend coding with GitHub Copilot by my side. As should be no surprise I develop Windows apps and have spent nearly all of my token budget on enhancements on my Windows apps. I used…

I'm working on adding date calculations to Text Grab. Always something I want quick access to do calculations like this on the fly! #WindowsDevelopment #WinDev #Indie

Copilot Chat pane in VS Code is 🔥🔥🔥 In my React Native project it absolutely crushes it! More user friendly than a pure CLI and notifications!

lol I guess Codex didn't want to do the work 🤷 #codexFail

You vibed an app, for an audience of one. Add it to Tiny Tool Town. But You know what Tiny Tool Town REALLY needed? *TIKTOK MODE* Why not mindlessly scroll awesome apps rather than videos? Maybe one will help you or someone else! go hit tinytooltown.com and tap "SHORTS" for Shorts/Reels Mode

Can you go to bed with specs and wake up to a Windows app? The Ralph Loop is the dream of AI software. Write the specs, go to bed, and wake up with a working app. So how does it work with Windows app development?

A review today of Trdo: "the radio player runs unobtrusively in the background. I really like it very much. Can listen to some radio on the side. Well done !!" it really does bring me joy when users "get it" 😊 apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nxt4...

I just used the back camera on my Surface Pro, AMA!

Opus 4.6 in Visual Studio has been amazing! Big step up in being able to build and improve Windows apps!

An error I've never seen in Claude Code but now I'm seeing a lot in Copilot CLI: The shell environment is having issues. Let me proceed with creating all the code files — you can run the migration yourself. I'll continue building out all the model, controller, view, and test files.

The only podcast that is ever needed

Has anyone used Copilot CLI to create a new WinUI3 app and run it? I directed it to make a plan, use dotnet new templates, use the winapp cli. It did run eventually when switching to unpackaged, but that feels like a major miss

Translate on device with Text Grab 4.12 The updates just keep coming. This release was focused on 2 features: On device translation powered by Copilot+ PCs Available in the Grab Frame via bottom bar button and options under the File menu Also in the Edit Text Window under the Local AI menu…

A recent review of Trdo: "Listening to some radio alongside work shouldn't technically be rocket science. Unfortunately, most solutions are overloaded with advertising, take up too many PC resources, or are impractical as a web application. ...

Are your .NET 10 Framework Dependent (not self-contained) EXEs 5x larger than they were on .NET 9? | by Joseph Finney buff.ly/SyBUWxa #dotnet

Are your .NET 10 Framework Dependent (not self-contained) EXEs 5x larger than they were on .NET 9? While building the unpackaged binaries for Text Grab I couldn't understand why the build of --self-contained false was not producing EXEs that were any smaller than --self-contained true.
