I quite my job over a year ago with ~$50,000 USD saved up thinking it would last a year. I thought all I needed to be successful was committing myself entirely to my ideas and eventually I'd become financially free. Well... about 10 months in I had made $15 from my projects and my bank account was at ~$10,000. Money anxiety took over and I began looking for work. Quickly I actually found part-time work via Hackernews' monthly Who's Hiring threads. I've bounced around to a few clients now, each paying me slightly more than the last, and it's worked out very well. I now work 20-30hrs per week and have tons of time and energy to work on my side projects as well. All while seeing my bank account grow.

@badlogicgames I did this for both read and bash tool runs. Looks great on mobile.

People of pi.dev. I want to make this the new default. No setting. Not much value in read showing the first X lines, as long as we still show offset/limit if given by the model. Mo minimal, mo better. github.com/earendil-works… Speak now, or be silent forever.

@thekitze @supermac_app supermac.io/features 404s

the full power of your mac in your hand anywhere in the world fully local and private @supermac_app 🔜

@possebom @krispuckett I have an open source version if you’re interested here - github.com/CodyBontecou/h…

@krispuckett Great work on this! Is the iOS app available somewhere? It's exactly what I've been looking for

I switched to Obsidian for my docs/data. Made a custom iOS app that connects my apple health to my Mac mini via CLI and local network. Had Claude Code refactor Obsidian theme and layout and then incorporate a basic viz in my daily briefing. I love this era of creativity.

@odd_joel Yellow, green, orange, purple… please let us unify the button colors via the theming settings 🙏. It’s the little things.

i think i saw the future. mobile apps like Moshi becoming a new kind of IDE - AI native, loosely coupled, way lighter than the traditional ones. calling it ITE. Integrated TUI Environment. moshi 3.0 will be the proof. soon 😼

@odd_joel Apple’s got it right on this one

in Japan, we don't bargain. the price is the price, same for everyone. once that breaks down, every purchase becomes a game. did I get the best deal? did they see me coming? some countries live like this for everything. both worlds exist. Apple preventing discount popups after paywall dismissal makes sense to me. one price, no games. which world do you want to live in?

@odd_joel Nice work on the new arrow/key navigation!

@isolatedtech thanks for all the feedbacks! notes taken!

moshi moshi, happy thursday 😽 2.9.3 is out with Easy Pair. the idea is simple: gen the private key on the phone, install its pub key on the server. the only question was — how do you make that UX smooth? here's my answer 👇

@eduwass @raycast @odd_joel What commands are you running on mobile? I haven’t found myself wanting to split screens - so I’m curious what else you may be using it for. Genuinely curious. I’m new to the tmux world

@raycast @odd_joel making sure this is very moshi friendly btw  😜 great to navigate tmux in a phone

put together this @raycast inspired command palette inside #tmux it's great

@timourxyz I built apps.apple.com/us/app/health-… to help you get that data out of the apps and into a workable format locally.

I'm looking but surprised to find there is no open-source version of a screenless tracker like this or whoop. I don't want to be stuck seeing my data in their apps; I want to buy the sensors and vibe engineer my own dashboards + own my data. Is there anything like that?

@odd_joel Overall, I’m loving your app and it’s my go to now for mobile coding. These are just the immediate quirks I miss from Termius. Thank you and keep up the good work!

@odd_joel Bonus points for their keyboard arrow implementation. Makes moving around with arrows much easier when it doesn’t require a few taps and covers a significant part of the screen.

@odd_joel My only complaint so far… I’d love it if these button colors matched. I’d also love if the top bar was the same color, providing a unified interface similar to Termius.

@eniac You and me both. It’s like an “ugh I forgot I need to do my streak…” right as I’m going to bed. But this feature changed that. I check it off super early in the day.

@isolatedtech Hahaha it’s actually making me feel super anxious in the evening

Over the years, Duolingo has introduced countless creative growth hacks, but they still manage to surprise me with some of the smartest uses of iOS permissions. Their latest one uses Screen Time to lock selected apps until you complete your daily Duolingo session. What makes it brilliant is that every app icon you block effectively becomes free ad inventory for Duolingo. Instead of just owning their own icon on your home screen, they’re temporarily taking over every icon tied to your distractions. An incredibly clever distribution mechanic 👏

Services like Resend made sense when we were hand coding the email implementation. They capitalized on a good developer experience. But with agents, DX doesn’t matter. Just go straight to the cheapest, reliable option.

@kepano Currently working on giving users access to their data via .md files. apps.apple.com/us/app/health-… apps.apple.com/us/app/iso-me/… apps.apple.com/us/app/sync-md…

my advice to people making .md apps: make it weirder! .md is the Schelling point what the market wants is more unique and diverse ways to interact with existing .md files

@LexnLin Are these actual websites or just the generated images? I’ve been tinkering with gpt image for app design and it’s excellent but I’m struggling to get the proper app built, especially extracting the assets within the generated UI.

the prompt was: "github.com/Leonxlnx/taste… Based on the skill above, generate images for a website for an AI agency. The design should include eight sections, with one image per section, for a total of eight distinct images. The website is for a creative AI company focused on research in creativity and design. Because of that, I want the visuals to feel highly original, playful, and art-directed, with text integrated thoughtfully into the design. Make it feel ultra-creative and intentional, like an Awwwards SOTD-level website in both concept and execution. Please go beyond standard layouts. Do not rely only on simple text-left, image-right compositions. Explore more experimental and varied layouts. Feel free to go completely wild, but keep it purposeful, not random. I want different section structures, including horizontal images, fullscreen sections, full background imagery, and more minimal sections with beautiful colors and a strong sense of motion or animation. Please use full background images or strong full-background color compositions, not just plain white sections. Keep it in light mode. Overall, try to stay somewhat consistent across the site while still making each section feel distinct. I want it to look crazy creative, thoughtful, and visually impressive, with strong UX and a clear sense of purpose. Generate 8 different images total. Do not combine them into one image. Each image should represent one section of the website."

@levelsio What are you using to monitor CO2 these days?

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?
