Here's the thing: sometimes I forget the timer is running and I wake up to "You've been working on [project X] for 28 hours".

I wish I could work that way! Sadly, I have client obligations that aren't always the most exciting thing I want to be working on. But they pay the bills.

I'm guessing you don't have ADHD, right?

Does there have to be a point? I had some feelings I wanted to share with the world.

Yes, exactly! Even if I got a bunch done I'd still feel like I didn't accomplish anything if I had "wasted" too much time.

I don't disagree that that might help. But I think this is more of a realization that I want to use AI... less?

Android is on the roadmap! I'm figuring out the best API and DX first. Once that's solidified, Android will follow.

You still need to pay $99 to Apple (every year). Ruby Native doesn't replace your accounts, it just augments them.

Yep! Ruby Native actually uses Hotwire Native under the hood in some scenarios.
