Tom 🧰

Check this out, I’m officially unveiling my new project called Basalt in inspiration of @obsdmd. It’s a file based, self-hostable app that, just like obsidian, will be free and without paywall or tracking. More to come regularly in this account. Follow @BasaltApp if interested!

@pavelhegler it'll stop being one very soon i promise

@BuildWithTom private repo zero users is just a diary

been sitting on a finished product for months. private repo. zero users. the code works. the marketing doesn't. the hardest part of building isn't the build. it's telling people it exists. #buildinpublic

@KsenKamil @nullbytes00 didn't know about hammerspoon, sounds pretty cool! fortunately i found out i could run script straight from supercmd like i used to do with raycast

@BuildWithTom @nullbytes00 Hammerspoon probably

Raycast v2 (native) VS SuperCmd (Electron) memory usage on macOS Tahoe 🤷‍♂️

i had the same experience, i used to be a monarch user and then they started their "enshitification" process, went to actual budget and thought it looked too janky. i had been thinking of doing a file-based app inspired by @obsdmd for a while so i thought hey here's a great match for that principle! thanks so much for getting on board, greatly appreciated!

@BuildWithTom @BasaltApp I have used actual budget, didn't like the UX. this one looks much better. on early access!

i built my own alternative to a $15/month tool because i refused to pay for features i dont use. two weekends of work and it does exactly what i need. subscriptions create their own competition. check it out it's called basalt budgeting @BasaltApp basaltapp.com #buildinpublic

well the writing is still on the wall. i mean dropping support for last year's OS is pretty bad. look at Apple who's supporting their old stuff for almost a decade. i wouldn't want to encourage a business who might drop the ball on me just to favor "uh it looks like glass much wow" mindset. there's no other reason not to support macos sequoia and prior but yeah it's great to have open source alternatives i do agree

@BuildWithTom haven't heard about supercmd until now, but it's good to have an open-source alternative for sure. also if i understand correctly, raycast will keep v1 around for a while exactly to not drop macos sequoia support.

raycast v2 feels MUCH faster than v1 on my m1 mac UI is so polished, it's absolutely joy to use and file search - so good a small tip: don't drag all your raycast plugins over to the new version of raycast. use this moment to re-think what you really need.

@bedesqui @raycast i got confused on that one. my whole timeline was people ranting against raycast v2 and i conflated your tweet sorry about that lmao

@BuildWithTom @raycast no its not??? literally the same folder size lmao

hey @raycast are we using pnpm or something similar to help with extension dependency sizes?

@typefully i'm trialing typefully and can't get the ai your voice feature to setup. watsupwidat?

here's my first draft for the @basaltapp onboarding i've been working on. i'm still unsatisfied with step 1 but i think the rest is alright. doesn't feel magic enough to me yet but that's iteration 1. gotta start somewhere right? comments? suggestions? #buildinpublic

@sonyxperia Is this a joke?

The new AI Camera Assistant* with Xperia Intelligence brings stories to life. Using subject, scene and weather, it suggests expressive options with adjustments of colour, exposure, bokeh, and lens for breathtaking photos*. sony.co.jp/en/xperia-1m8/… #SonyXperia #Xperia1VIII

@quartzdevgg raycast isn’t doing anything that supercmd doesn’t do. raycast is clearly bloated and v2 will just increase the bloat

car vs jet engine - car uses less fuel! wow!

@deveshlogs thanks devesh!

@BuildWithTom keep going tom

i hate reddit marketing with such passion. to me, it feels like bashing my head repeatedly in a wall. but somehow i keep trying, keep trying to be useful and nice but it feels like the kind of marketing that either does nothing or goes viral and nothing in between. #buildinpublic

600 FOLLOWERS! thanks everyone! X tells me that 1/6 of you are humans and the rest are probably bots so welcome to the 100 humans! let's keep the ball rolling and build great stuff together. stay tuned for some crazy cool news about @basaltapp very soon! #buildinpublic

@nullbytes00 @raycast you're so very welcome! it's well deserved. so far so good, i'd say my current pet peeve is when i want to cancel setting a hotkey (when "type shortcut" is showed) and i press escape to cancel; it closes the whole settings window. that's literally it lmao (the tiniest of problem)

@BuildWithTom @raycast Damn, this made my day, appreciate it man! lmk if you bump into anything. dropping some cool stuff soon :)

@nullbytes00 HOLY CARP YOU DO! OK I'm sold!

@nullbytes00 is there a way to make script commands like in raycast? i have a bunch of bash scripts i usually call from raycast
