The Perfect Storm of Dumb

ok so I made a discord in 45.7 MB

Chatto now has the foundations of a notification system, including a little notification center that lists your unhandled notifications.

"Here's the API URL. Build me a bot." Never bet against GraphQL!

"shleepy shoe budunnnnn"

@mootoday.com It I may ask you a Tauri question - would it be a good fit for the most simple of "desktop web apps" where it basically only loads a remote website (in this case, a Chatto instance)?

It's going to be fun to watch this thing grow and evolve over time. New blog post + roadmap update soon.

Chatto v0.0.35 \o/

Starting to dogfood Chatto to post Chatto updates \o/

This is why they play the music in the Oscars

I have a test server running for Chatto with some people on it and it's lovely! Very very very rough around the edges, but definitely lovely.

Remember, WW3 is not a reason to skip coming into the office. It's important for the culture of this company

An offer to Americans: you make all this go away, and we'll let you make another season of Game of Thrones. Yes, with that scene you've always wanted where literally every character that ever appeared in the entire series, dead or alive, appears through some sort of portal to save the day

We're all thinking "firing squad" or maybe "assassination" but it's probably going to be "found in diapers after choking on a chicken wing"

The PUBLIC BETA of my new #macOS app is on! actions.work/listening-post *Listening Post* brings always-on #music recognition to your Mac. Supports scrobbling to LastFm & ListenBrainz, Apple Music, writing to local files, and automation. With a bit of #LocalFirst and #DigitalSovereignty baked in. 🚀

Still down with that #mancold (damn), but ICYMI yesterday, good old Chatto is starting to look like a real chat app!

Just in case you've been wondering: yes, #Chatto is real. A full self-hostable Discordslacklike in a single 44 MB binary that runs out of the box with no external dependencies. (Well, there may be one or two missing features still. :b)

I've been enjoying Conductor quite a lot (thanks for the recommendation, @samuel.fm!) It really nails the agentic engineering workflow that takes the human in the loop seriously. This stuff is one web server/UI away from allowing me to develop my stuff entirely from my sofa via tablet.

beans & eggs

Random observation: heavy agentic engineering *hugely* benefits from a very complete and thorough test suite. Ergo with increased agent use, more and better tests will be written. It's getting increasingly difficult to argue that agentic engineering makes software worse.

A thread on the Astro acquisition, and more generally how to support OSS.

Gott ist tot.

i’ve always been seeking to do things in a way that’s friendly to our llm friends while still being human friendly as well and i’m glad to see others think in the same way

formats over apps

I reckon all Open Source team chat apps advertising themselves like this now is an unfortunate and inevitable sideshow of the Trump era.

Thank you! 🙏

Nearing 300 stars for Beans. Probably one of the most fun Open Source things I've ever released. Lots of really helpful contributions. Feedback often "cool, this is just like beads, but good". That is what I was aiming for, so reading that makes me very happy!

Starting to wonder if maybe a 300 character limit on Truth Social would have prevented WW3

If you're a developer surrounded by people debating the utility of LLMs, you are being misled. The advent of agents decisively settles the conversation. The real question is: how do you ship software that leverages their power? I spent 2025 answering this question networkgames.fyi/the-year-eve...

One of you recommended "Hijack" (on AppleTV+) to me, saying it was "very good", and I need to know who it was because I want to have a serious talk with them

Grant me the serenity to not use AI for art, the courage to use AI for stuff that is not art, and the wisdom to know the difference

Godot's upcoming 4.6 release (literally) looking mighty fine

agent-browser from Vercel Labs: A Rust-powered CLI that gives AI agents browser superpowers. The snapshot command returns an accessibility tree with element refs—perfect for LLMs to understand and interact with any webpage. github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser

Return of the #mancold, just in time for the weekend ;'(

"I needed an app that does #$THING, so I built it!" <Person who has never built anything worthwhile in their life, but for some reason uses NixOS>: "that's slop" This is all of Reddit, HN etc. right now.

When your first thought is "which one?!"

People are surprised when I tell them Chatto doesn't use any existing chat protocols. They're even more surprised when I tell them that it doesn't try to establish any new protocol, either. It's just a chat app for your friends, community, company. That's all. No decentralization. No federation.

wrote some things I've been thinking about ai ... and it ended up feeling very personal roe.dev/blog/the-go...

Windows 11 and Office just made my son cry

macOS 26 Tahoe is so bad, you can make a killing by just making an app that restores some previous behavior and charge €5,99 for it

Thinking about creating an Open Source coding agent just to have something in place for you when OpenCode is inevitably acquired by Vercel or Basecamp or some other terrible place

Canadian fast-food restaurant chain for Go developers: Gopoutine

Cool! A DuckDB extension for querying NATS JetStream streams. Supports JSON and Protobuf payloads.

Use Beans, mmmmkay?

It is such a joy to use beans in a (personal) project as your issue tracker. And I love that the beans are tracked in my git repo.

Hey Claude, how do I train a European coding model

I'm getting a little tired of debugging tests that are flaky on GitHub Actions while they run perfectly fine on anything even slightly more powerful. Self-hosted GH Actions Runner felt dreadfully outdated to me when I tried it, what other options do I have?

One of the many reasons why I'm building a self-hostable group chat app is that this is how the top players in this space (both US-based) are marketing themselves now
