Like this apparently - in 6 steps. I have a PWA app planned, I was hoping I could write some easy instructions for each platform. There's likely to be some drop of with iOS though if the user has to navigate through all of this: https

I created AS Notes ( https://www.asnotes.io ) (an extension for VS Code, Antigravity etc) partly because of this use case. It works like Obsidian, being markdown based, with wikilinks, mermaid rendering and task management. In VS

I don't understand it from the app developers point of view. Having to pay app store cuts over basic card processing fees. I understand the appeal of access to a market, like selling on eBay gets you eyeballs. But once you have a custo

I've released a free extension for VS Code that implements a kanban board in visual studio with a GitOps friendly markdown storage format that helps with a 'human in the loop' agent flow I've been working with to a high

Hey, saw this while looking under new and wanted to try and help. I think the answer is to be places. Life needs randomness and interactions and that doesn't happen at home. Try to be in "3rd places" - the gym / work in

The agent-flow repository serves as a template for a flow I've recently been using for agent-assisted coding - with impressive results. Even with the best models, agent-assisted coding can be hit and miss. A good AGENTS.md that covers

If you already live in VS Code, maybe you like to manage your notes there too? AS Notes brings Obsidian/Logseq-style knowledge management directly into VS Code - wikilinks, backlinks, page aliases, daily journal, and a task panel - wit

On my current project, we've settled on a system that reads environment variables from Hashicorp Vault, interpolates the variables into placeholders in config files, and then loads the processed config files in the app in memory. It wo

OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION is essential for getting reasonable performance. Yes I did well with that laptop, it's been a trusty steed :) a refurb too.

Actually I disagree. I've killed projects because I've run out of time for them and didn't like them costing me £50 a month. If I'd been able to keep them going at £10 a month, I might have kept them going until I could

A walk-through of how we built a terminal-based coding agent in ~400 lines of vanilla Node.js, running entirely on a local GPU with no cloud dependencies and no npm packages.

This is the flow I've found myself working towards. Essentially maintaining more and more layered documentation for the LLM produces better and more consistent results. What is great here is the emphasis on the use of such documents in

Claude when used via Github Co-Pilot is much better for useage allowance. I used Opus 4.5 for a months worth of development and only just hit 90 pct of the pro $40 per month allowance.

I don't think a general public set of skills like this is going to work. I see value in vendors producing skills for their own products, and end users maintaining skills to influence agents according to their preferences, but too much

I use a common README_AI.md file, and use CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to direct the agent to that common file. From README_AI.md, I make specific references to skills. This works pretty well - it's become pretty rare that the agent behaves

We're all ultimately just learning what we need to to get the job done. After 20 years programming, it is very clear that nobody knows everything. Everyone just knows their own little slice of the software world, and even then you have

Neither really. I don't want a tool to guide me or to generate content. My notes only have meaning to me if I know I wrote them, from my brain. I'm a fan of learning by proximity to the problems I have. Maybe a LLM based tool that

Yes the block hierarchy is enough for re-entry. There is a natural 'pruning' process where I return to notes and realise I need to rework them to make surfacing the information I need easier. I often adjust titles and aliases (and

Obsidian is similar but without the block structure you have to be very specific about linking notes rather than using parent child relationships.

I like obsidian, but use Logseq day-to-day. I find it pretty easy to dump information without too much work due to the block / indenting structure. Retrieval isn't too bad, because you navigate to the wikilink you need, and everyt
