New emoji for our work Slack.

Just learned about xcsift (thanks @mikker!), which formats the output of xcodebuild etc. to reduce an agent’s token usage. Taking it for a swing now and it seems promising.

Yesterday: Crunch mode to build POCs.
Today: Crunch mode to make a slide deck.
Tomorrow: Burnout.

I love the versatility of my job.

codex-auth is a lifesaver for anyone juggling multiple Codex subscriptions.

Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺🔍🤏

 It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!

Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.

Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!

also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:

Made a couple of small upgrades to this little app.

- Hold Cmd to instantly open a folder in my selected agent without creating a temporary workspace.
- Hold Option to open an alternative agent, making it quick to switch between, for example, Codex and Claude Desktop.

Slightly faster workflow in some cases.

My FluxCD notifications used to go through a Matrix server, but that felt like too much infrastructure for just a few alerts.

Then @simonbs's Brrr app came along - simple push notifications without running a server. Just one issue: FluxCD's webhook format doesn't match what Brrr expects.

So I built Let-It-Brrr - a tiny service that translates the payloads. Now deployments and config changes pop up right on my lock screen ✨

I built Stroke Counter late last season and tested it on the course, but didn’t get it shipped before the season ended.

With golf season starting again, now felt like the right time ⛳️

Introducing Stroke Counter for Golf 🚀🏌️‍♂️

I got tired of those tiny plastic stroke counters. They break, get lost, and you end up buying new ones all the time.

So I built Stroke Counter for Apple Watch.

A simple way to count strokes from your wrist.
