@ashleyspirals Once these apps are done, I'll give you free lifetime access. Maybe you could try dumping your photos / files into them and see if it helps your workflow. If not, maybe you could share why and I'll build a solution. My apps are non-destructive and local, so no fear of data loss.

@erictherobot My phone and computer is polluted with screenshots.. Useful and thoughtful trash... it becomes stacked like a crazy professor's desk, until I dump into yet another folder with a nonsense name... oh how I wish I could find a way to downsize my 119K photos/videos in the cloud ..

I dumped my entire Desktop directory into my app Document Dump. 2,000+ files - 21GB - 341,000 searchable words Primarily images, but in Finder they were never searchable or editable. I think I will launch this app soon. apps.apple.com/us/app/documen…

@ashleyspirals You should just purchase extra hard drives and archive them. It's cheaper and more private. I archive my Photos in iCloud every year - then save on the icloud plans.

@ashleyspirals Yikes, that's a lot! I built another one called "Better Screenshots" - but right now it just organizes them into smart folders by classifying and deduplicating them automatically. It's not doing anything with taking screenshots. So it may not get released for a bit.

@ashleyspirals Same. This is why I made it.

@erictherobot It is embarrassing how useful this would be for me .. 😂

@ashleyspirals Oh? do you need it? I'll have some updates soon. I want to deeply understand color and make it truly helpful for everyone. Thank you for your support! Thoughts?

@erictherobot acquired. ✨

If you're picky about colors clap your hands! apps.apple.com/us/app/picky-c… Picky Colors just launched for macOS.

@ashleyspirals Tasks are any task under the sun. Research, code, social media, budgeting, design, legal, etc. could be anything.

@erictherobot Cool name! and the tasks -examples?

Yesterday, I created a Declaration of Autonomy and a Constitution. My autonomous company is running. I watched an agent get fired for breaking the constitution. No last paycheck. Just GTFO. This is wild to even mention, let alone to witness!

@ashleyspirals My son changed his name now but, Yes.

@erictherobot Thank you. what is their current overall task? Also Zayden seems super important, ha. Is he/agent the starting point?

@ashleyspirals Agents figure out issues among themselves and across departments. Constantly communicating. Agents never sleep, complain, or take vacations. This is no different than any traditional business. There's even an HR department in case the agents go rouge, they get sacked.

@erictherobot I wish I understood this more, seems interesting

@ashleyspirals Ha, well you do understand it, conceptually. Each company is a cluster. A department within the company is a dedicated machine. Employees are agents inside each department.

best part of being a solo builder are my no effort/no thought/no context commit messages:

@mankins That's a healthy contract. Good for them!

@erictherobot Minsky.ai is the same login page as when we where there... AI for everyone... A new customer: dmetrics.com/department-of-…

Everything takes so long... I'm waiting on Apple to approve a TestFlight beta build. Shouldn't these things be quicker than a week?

@mankins Right? Are they still around?

@erictherobot Hard to believe it’s only been a decade since we worked at that ai startup struggling for the right interface and customer.

@mankins I would assume so. Infants are making apps now. But also Apple has been having some appstoreconnect issues lately. Not sure how it's all connected.

@erictherobot Ouch. Is this the AI dam?
