My 8yo discovered my Playdate about 6 months ago and she loves it. She did crack the handle off of the crank though, so fragility might be a consideration...

We love our Playdate. Admittedly, when I first got the Playdate, it was a bit of a flash in the pan for me, possibly due in part to not having many games to try while Season 1 was trickling out. But since then, my daughter has reached the a

Thumbs up for Wispr Flow. Their iOS app was just released last week, and is an interesting addition to the product. I needed to do an inventory of stuff in our house over the weekend, and I used Wispr Flow on iOS to take a very very long an

I’m realizing that this app prescribes HR zones that are quite a bit different than what Apple Fitness has for me. Instead of a calc, I’d like to be able to manually set the zones so I can match them with the zones I’m used to working with.

This is a really cool idea. You mention it being scriptable, which makes sense as a CLI. Do you have any personal examples of using Lexy in a script? I'm curious about use cases outside of reading.

Excited to try this! I just started zone training a couple of weeks ago as a way to target VO2 Max increases. I’ve indeed found it hard to track time in zone across a week. Thanks for building this!

More of this kind of thing please. Also... this put PostHog in front of me right as I'm looking for a few things they seem to offer. The marketing-gimmick-to-thing-you-need flow was so on point it's kind of suspect. What's th

Mermaid is fantastic as a portable I/O format for LLM context. I spent some time discussing entity relationships with an LLM recently, and had it produce a Mermaid diagram to wrap up the conversation. Once you have the diagram code, yo

Congrats Kilian! Polypane made a massive difference in getting our startup's website shipped a few months ago. I highly recommend it for entrepreneur-devs.

I've been organizing a weekly morning coffee session in Astoria, Queens for the last 2 (or 3?) years. The morning coffees are connected to our local tech community's series of meetups, but they aren't hyper-focused on tech an

I'm going through the process of unpacking a prototype into a product roadmap. We just came out of a meeting to kick off architecture discussions/decisions when I saw your post. A couple of questions: - Do you have anything online

Love all of these RSS resources. Thanks for sharing! Last week, I spent a couple of hours at a local hack event putting an RSS aggregator[1] together for our community. Just something fun to do. One thing I realized when I deployed is that

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I tend to refer to these kinds of services as either: - Value-added hosting providers - Value-added infrastructure providers. My personal mental model for them is that they take lower leve

It's really going to depend on what you want to host and how you want to interact with it as an admin. For Node app hosting, I've been enjoying Render over the past year or so. But it seems like opinions on them are mixed among th

My understanding is that these aren't really intended for much more beyond prototyping/MVP'ing. I can't speak on the others, but I've used v0 a fair amount over the last year and have been happy with it as a prototy

I'd rather something like this either: 1. Work outside of the browser altogether (i.e., be built as an app for the OS), or 2. Integrate directly into the service it is targeting (i.e., G Suite add-ons, etc.) I may be in the minority.

npm download numbers are always exceptionally inflated. I'm sure that number serves some purpose, but I've never found them to be a useful metric when I've worked on public packages. An ancient post [1] for the defunct npm bl

The lack of control I would have over the data trail is why I've never used any of these services. Since I've never used them, I'm not really sure what's under the hood in terms of user experience and underlying technolo

In my NYC neighborhood, we seem to be going through a whole slew of businesses closing shop within the last year and change. One obvious reason is rent hikes. But as one of my favorite local bars was closing, one of the staff mentioned that

This is fun! I don't have a Remarkable so it's not clear to me how the file gets to your server. Are you sending it directly from the Remarkable or connecting a Remarkable cloud account?

Currently hugged so I can't read the article, but I can only wonder how this compares to the batting average of any given R&D effort. 20% of projects succeeding on a cutting edge technology might be pretty good, no?

It’s an interesting thought experiment. For some reason, phone use in the gym just doesn’t bother me as much as it does some other people. The trouble with an anything device is that it’s often hard to tell from across the room what the dev
