Darren Rowse

Released some new changes on ChapterbyChapter.app bible tracker today. Now working better on mobile (particularly Android) and can be saved to homescreen or dock on your phone/computer as an app.

@AIbizgrowth Will write a lot more on this in the coming posts in the series but it's been a game changer for my sermon preparation/research, it's coached me in my speaking, it's helped with many administrative tasks, it's helped me to develop my thinking, notetaking and writing skills.

@problogger interesting how fast things change, huh? ai still feels new but probably won’t for long. curious what you found useful with it.

Twenty years ago, pastors debated whether Google was legitimate for sermon research. Today, that seems absurd. We're in the same moment with AI. Here's a new article on why I started using it in ministry and what I've learned. darrenrowse.com/posts/why-i-st…

@mikker Would love to see a tutorial on using combo mode. Have been told leader app would be good for me and understand this mode incorporates that - but my head is spinning a little exploring it 🤪

The Tuna CLI makes it super easy to get stuff into Tuna. It can also work as a fuzzy file picker for any task. Pipe into it like... `ls | tuna pick -b - | xargs echo` to pick a file. Works with navigation and everything.

@TOlowoselu Oooh. Interesting

@problogger Any chance of a verse by verse adventure as well? 🙏

beta version of 'Bible Adventure' (working title) is up - bible-adventure.pages.dev Very experimental and you can't view across devices yet. But have a play.

@ant_theoh congrats on the new role. Great to see Anthropic with a local office.

@Shpigford @karpathy Pretty much what I have in Obsidian.

what if @karpathy's LLM Wiki was available in a mac app? 🤔 latest version of clearly.md (direct download) has it! 🎉 currently supports both claude and codex subscriptions automatically.

@tallskinnykiwi Yep - they all look pretty much the same as I have on darrenrowse.com but if you like that it could work well.

@problogger I would rather have simplicity than complexity, and someone to rescue me from thousands of options.

It's my birthday today, so I gave myself a day of geekery. Completely overhauled my personal website - now using Pika as the blogging platform - even refreshed my X profile a little.

@tallskinnykiwi I am not sure. It’s is a very simple, minimalistic tool. Nowhere near the customizations other tools have for design etc. I’m enjoying it but it has a certain aesthetic.

@problogger After retiring from 25 years of making blogs for ministries, my church wants a new one. I was thinking of going fully AI with Hostinger but the challenge is giving church people ownership and control. I wonder if Pika would be simpler for them to use?

Strange - since switching over to Pika (new blog tool) my Google Analytics isn't showing any traffic despite me adding it to the site. Normally, it would pick up even just me in real-time stats. I feel like I'm missing something obvious...

That day I gave a keynote in front of 5000 people and fulfilled a lifelong dream with a costume change.... See the talk 👉 darrenrowse.com/posts/get-your…

Got teenage boys? I've been wondering what would happen if we could install 'skills' in them like we do with AI. Here's my attempt. The first TeenBoySuite.

@ceejayfranklin thanks!

@problogger Happy birthday Darren

The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind with so many new connections here on X and Threads. If you're new - here's a little about darrenrowse.com/pages/about

@stephenjayakar I'm using an API that lets me have them.

@problogger are you not gonna get in trouble for uploading all those bible versions?

Kind of overwhelmed by the number of people using this little experimental Bible reading tool. Still lots to do on it but tweaking it more and more.

@mikehirst_ I am. Nice to reconnect

@problogger Followed your blog years ago. Didn't realize you were a believer (assuming you are, of course). This is really cool 😎

@dlgreen53 It’s not an app as such, but a website with a mobile version bible-adventure.pages.dev

@problogger Is this only for iPhone? I don't see it in the Android Play Store.

👀

@m0ntepyth0n just found this - and have already implemented the first two before I did! Will add the third to my list.

This is awesome! Any plans to make it open source so others can contribute? My quick critiques for what it’s worth: - Translation selection - Jump back into the parent node chapter (in the event wanted to review before moving on) - Hide the header and footer upon scrolling so the text is the only thing on the screen.
