I've been experimenting with an unofficial Ableton MCP ( https://github.com/ahujasid/ableton-mcp ) for a few weeks now. If you mess around with music and have an Ableton license, you should try this. It's fun.

Making a good experience for AI agents also makes a good experience for the humans that are tasked with the management of their agents.

This category of complaint is useless until it is unfolded to contain better economic reasoning. In the case of a VC-subsidized service like Uber, the subsidization is utilized by the company until a a monopolistic or network effect takes h

It affects everyone, because the aggressive revenue cut prevents entire categories of apps and services from being published to the app store. An app store with a 5-10% cut would be an app store with a much richer choice of apps.

Agreed, but I think it's actually simple. Plugins include: * Commands * MCPs * Subagents * Now, Skills Marketplaces aggregate plugins.

Your holy grail is probably Fireproof: https://fireproof.storage/ Open source, uses object storage without a web server dependency, syncs, and has great DX.

Appreciate this. But. Do whatever you want. That’s an option too. Make a dumb thing, take your hands off the wheel, have fun. It’s your computer.

Absolutely agree with this observation. And I think it’s a great outcome. The vibe coding Reddit ( http://reddit.com/r/vibecoding ) already contains the full spectrum of “first time trying to code” to “just rolled my own

Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI apps connect to private data sources, making it easier to build agent-like systems. This walkthrough shows how to quickly wire up an MCP server with Fireproof to manage a to-do li

You did a no-SQL, you did a serverless, you did a micro-services. This makes it abundantly clear you do not understand the nature of your architectural patterns and the multiplicity of your offenses.

Yeah, that seems like an ideal application for Fireproof. I just built a RAG application for cannabis retail data and we could have benefited from some of the realtime support.

The outrage is warranted. Two things about this are poorly designed: 1) Charing for installs vs sales. Because installs are potentially a multiple of sales (and thus, revenue), this will make it extremely difficult to build accounting model
