@sachinrekhi Personally, I’m a big fan of what I can do with Code, but I’ve had some questions from my team about why they should try it over Cowork. Do you think it’s fair to say that Cowork can also do #1-3? It seems that #4-6 is what Code can do but Cowork can’t.

To me it's obvious that Claude Code should be the primary AI productivity tool product managers focus on. But let me spell out what it offers over chatbots like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini: 1. It's focused on generating artifacts - documents, reports, and more. These are exactly the deliverables PMs are responsible for. Instead of just using AI for answering questions, Claude Code enables you to use AI to draft the actual work product you are responsible for. 2. It's all about local context in the form of markdown files - Chatbot memory features are pretty limited and unreliable. But Claude Code is brilliant at reading and leveraging local markdown files. Now when you save and organize this context for Claude Code, you give it infinite context and memory. 3. It's fantastic at workflow automation - Claude Code provides a variety of ways, like skills, agents, and commands, to automate an end-to-end workflow so you no longer have to babysit AI while it works, freeing you up to do higher-level work. 4. It can run any command line tool - This enable's Claude Code to do absolutely anything a computer can do. And it does it even faster than using an MCP server. Incredible for advanced workflow automation. 5. It's amazing at writing code for tasks - Claude Code constantly generates bespoke scripts for me to accomplish tasks efficiently without me even needing to ask it to or understand the code. 6. It avoids vendor lock-in - I have ultimate portability to the next hot agent harness or model because all of my context isn't in a proprietary LLM, it's just on my local desktop. For these reasons I've now shifted the majority of my product work to Claude Code.

@RyanTauss @Netlify Looks great! Very clean look. 👌

Redesigned my personal site. Learned I could use @Netlify to host and publish changes instantly from a GitHub merge. All for free. Saving me a hosting sub. Just made changes from my phone in GitHub and instantly updated my new site. Learning so much. Scary and fun times.

@benspringwater @matter Omg thank you for this! Solves a major headache.

X’s in-app browser is cool, but it makes saving links via the share extension a real pain on mobile. (IYKYK.) We’ve solved this with a neat new trick. Now, when you save an X post to @matter that contains a URL, we ask if you want to save the link or the post. TLDR: If you want to save an article linked in a post, just save the post directly from your feed! You can thank @HunterClarke for this clever, "obvious in retrospect" idea.

I've been using feeeed for a while and can confirm it's a great way to curate your own feed of content you actually care about. I also like that it feels more like a casual feed than an inbox of things to check off like other RSS apps I've tried.

@benspringwater I’d like to check it out!

Just sent a big batch of TestFlight invites for Halo. We're adding the paywall in two weeks. Everyone who helps us test before then will get grandfathered in for 1 year free. Reply here for an invite!

Dust jackets on book drive me crazy. They just slide off and make it harder to hold. Why do we still have them? Have we not innovated in the book domain to come up with better technology?

I'm not sure if this is a recent trend or not, but my favorite thing I've noticed about UI design lately is using off-white / paper-like background colors. I find it to be so much more soothing than stark white UI. Claude being the most recent example.

@keithmjacobs Nice, I'll check out Chartr — I'm definitely hooked by their profile tagline: "The #1 newsletter for visual thinkers."

@mbxtr Great recommendations! I subscribed to Experimental History, looks amazing. :-) I like Chartr for business and political statistics.

Introducing Co-Reader: Knowledge on Tap For too long, "AI in reading" has meant 31 flavors of summarization. Today, we're thrilled to introduce a new feature that feels both intuitive and essential. Co-Reader anticipates questions as you read, offering instant answers and deeper context without interrupting your flow. The magic lies in its effortlessness. Tap a paragraph to see questions. Tap a question to see answers. No typing. No switching apps. Just knowledge on tap. Co-Reader is powered by @perplexity_ai and was directly inspired by Perplexity’s "Related Questions" feature. In many ways, using Co-Reader feels like bringing Perplexity into the written page. Try it and let us know what you think.

Nice and simple prompt structure. I’ll definitely try this.

@RyanTauss That's awesome. I attempted to make SkiFree. 😂 websim.ai/c/h8slFoRiZkVs…

Hot-take as a hiring manager: If you reach out to me expressing interest in the job but can't do the minimum of including a LinkedIn URL / your resume / why-you-would-be-a-great-hire, your chance of getting a response is near-zero.

I’m now on a mission to run Ethernet through my house. For anyone who’s done it before: should I attempt on my own or should I skip the pain and hire someone? (I’m in a 1.5 story house with good attic access to all rooms in the house.)

After doing a few internet speed tests, I’ve realized that my computers in my home office only reach about 20% of the internet speed I’m paying for plus a lot of latency due to wif-fi.

ScreenOCR (raycast.com/huzef44/screen…): This was one of those 🤯 features. Select an area of a screen like you would a screenshot and it copies the text in that area.

Type Snob (raycast.com/sawyerh/type-s…): Copy typographic characters to your clipboard (v. important)

Three awesome @raycastapp plugins I just came across...
