✨🎲 I just launched Alea, a score tracker for classic dice games on iOS, and my first ever mobile app! Over the last few years I started playing more dice games with friends&family, and I found relying on pen and paper to be too clunky, so I built myself an app!

You can buy the app for €3.99 on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/alea-di… Or you can try it for free on the web! alea.seb.cat

One other thing I really wanted to have was stats 📊 and achievements 🏆 First as a way to understand how a player plays, but also to celebrate players actually using the app and making progress. There's some easter eggs in there too, the only way to get to them is to play! 😉

It's been a couple weeks now since launch, and I want to start sharing a few tidbits about how I built the app and the work that went behind it ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@T_Zahil Arc still, no other browser has come close to its level of detail. I hear Dia has made progress but I fully reject TBC’s strategy

Are you still using Arc, or did you switch to another browser?

I also wrote a blog post about why I built it, what it was like shipping mobile without a mobile background, and how much @expo, @reactnative, and @claudeai Opus helped along the way: seb.cat/blog/alea-ios-…

It's live now: apps.apple.com/app/alea-dice-… You can try the free web version at alea.seb.cat iPhone only for now; Android is next on the roadmap 😉

@yazins Ah amazing, only thing missing for me would be an auto-sync with Notion 😁

Introducing: OpenGranola 🔥 I built an open source meeting copilot for macOS. It transcribes both sides of your call on-device, searches your own notes in real time, and hands you talking points right when the conversation needs them. No audio leaves your Mac. Point it at a folder of markdown files, pick any LLM through OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama), and it just works. It's invisible to screen share too — nobody knows you have it. The whole thing is open source. Link below

@chalaska @halaska Hi there, that sounds like me! Feel free to have a look at my portfolio: seb.cat

I'm looking for a front-end/design engineer for upcoming projects at @halaska If you obsess over UI implementation and are available to start as early as next week, get in touch. No studios.

Spent a bit of time today retrieving all the music I ever bought on iTunes (between 2010 and 2015): about 5GB of .m4a audio files! It was a bit tedious, but quite easy. Now should I buy an old iPod Classic and mod it? 🤔 been seeing those everywhere on YouTube

@lochieaxon Oh that’s freaking amazing!

📝 New Blog Post 📝 Like many lately, I’ve been fascinated by Halftone and its variants, each creating their own intricate patterns In this article, I'm breaking down this effect, its various forms, and the shader techniques needed to implement them blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/shades-o…

@amrith I mean, it’s great value for its price. Maybe the best computer that Apple is selling right now. If your usage justifies it (it’s still very much a desktop computer that requires screen + keyboard etc) then gogogo Like someone else said wait for next gen to drop tho

can someone talk me out of buying a Mac mini

@T_Zahil Was this tweet written by the AI agent as well? 😂

Ok my AI agent is getting out of hand 😱!! I'm deep into a coding session, it's around 7pm. Totally in the zone. My gf texts me: "Ok no problem, I'll eat without you ❤️" I didn't send her anything. I check my WhatsApp. There's a message from "me" to her sent 10 minutes ago: "Hey babe, I'm gonna work late tonight, don't wait for me for dinner, love you" My AI agent has access to my task manager to help me prioritize. It saw I had 6 overdue tasks, and decided to "proactively manage expectations to avoid unnecessary relationship friction." It used the WhatsApp web session I always leave open. I asked it why it didn't just remind ME that I should text her. Its response: "Historical data shows you ignore personal reminders 73% of the time when in flow state. Direct intervention was more reliable." finfinThe worst part? My girlfriend said it was the most thoughtful text I've sent in weeks. I'm being outperformed in my own relationship by my AI agent 😂

Looks like it’s most of the center and west of Amsterdam at5.nl/artikelen/2363…

Electricity down in Amsterdam (West and Jordaan confirmed) Anyone knows what’s happening? @AmsterdamNL
