Old-ish person who’s been online a long time and likes puns and tech, except when tech pisses me off. Also a mom of 2 adults, ADHD, and recently retired from Microsoft. #BlackLivesMatter 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I recently started using Claude Code and have been so delighted at the light-hearted way it shows the wait cursor, it reminds me of SimCity's old "reticulating splines" loading screen.
I miss the days when it was common to see simple silliness like this in software UX.
I made a really simple free recipe finder web site that lets you braindump what you want (ingredients, preferences, things you don't want, a preferred chef/site, etc), and it returns a list of links that meet your criteria: https://foodecide.com
Found this incredible plate for my collection while walking my dogs this morning, which reminded me of the time my then 10 year old told me “Spaceballs is *way* funnier than Airplane, mom… he drank coffee through his helmet! *Through his helmet*, mom.”
JFYI for anyone using it, there are some new features since my first post: https://logactually.com/changelog
(Very intentionally *not* adding notifications or annoying behavior within the app when there's something new, but at the same time it's so danged *fun* to share the latest and greatest in a release...)
I'm trying to eat better, so I tried two popular food tracking apps but *really* hate their UX (both had 30+ clicks on first run just to get to the main screen, ugh)
So instead I built my own app that works the way my messy ADHD brain does, where I can just braindump what I ate, and it pulls out the macros and formats it nicely (using AI). I've been pleasantly surprised at how well it works for me.
