Hi everyone, I've been using it as a daily driver for the past week and decided to release the first version to the public today.

It made me 10x more productive than other GUI apps, curious what you guys think about it!

Tested entirely with claude, so it can have issues with other models, feel free to contribute or open an issue!

It makes no sense to use 365 anymore, there are so many other alternatives

Since I came across orbstack that's the only one I use for docker on macOS

Just placed an order for mine

They seized netnut.com, but netnut.io is still online. Not sure how long that'll last though.

Back when I was working with Swift, I always thought Swift Package Index was made by Apple

still no ultracode effort in the desktop app

Same here. I mostly use Figma for logos and random assets now.

You buy the license and still get ads and Edge shoved in your face. macOS is far from perfect, but at least it doesn’t do that.

Sponsorships are obviously not enough, and not every open source tool has some obvious hosting product to sell. A lot of this stuff is basically public infrastructure now, but we still fund it like a side project.

It still probably produces better results than some junior engineers in a lot of cases.

But yeah, for a company at Uber’s scale, I can see why they would want real engineering discipline around it.

I’ve been using Postgres for over 6 years (since I started), and I honestly think it’s one of the best investments you can make as a developer

I made a similar project a while ago (https://github.com/memctl/memctl), but I had to archive it because there are already better built-in alternatives for most coding agents. Good luck with this one.

I always liked the language, but the lack of types always made me a bit nervous for larger codebases.

I don’t really understand why more devs don’t try Neovim.

Maybe it’s just my preference, but I like having a small setup where I know what is installed and what is running. With VSCode, browser IDEs, extensions, sync, tokens, and random plugins, it gets hard to tell what actually has access to what.

Europe gets romanticized way too much. Healthcare often means months of waiting and very hit-or-miss doctors. Bureaucracy is worse, salaries are lower, and there are plenty of stupid laws and corruption too.

It is probably better if you value slower life, more vacation, and working less. But it is not some obvious upgrade over the U.S. Just a different set of problems.

(I'm hungarian)

IPO incoming. Going to be interesting watching how long the PBC mission holds up once there are shareholders to answer to every quarter

It got restrictive enough that I jumped to Linux with Hyprland and just configured everything the way I actually want

Who looked at password resets and went “yeah, let the chatbot handle that one”

So now you can pay $3.99/mo for the privilege of custom profile fonts and animated reactions while still getting served ads between Reels. Truly the premium doomscrolling experience.

I don't really understand why verifying I'm human would require fingerprinting my device in the first place. The whole framing feels backwards.

A lot of companies will never build a great CLI, and many will not prioritize a clean public API unless there is obvious demand.

Most apps do not actually need the concurrency capacity that Postgres or MySQL are designed for.

Yeah, but it would still open three tabs, rewrite my config, and ask whether I meant :q or :qa!

At this point my dev setup is basically just Neovim, tmux, and a terminal. I ended up removing the usual IDEs because I just was not opening them anymore.

What sold me was not even the editor itself at first, it was the workflow. I can leave sessions running, bounce between projects instantly, and my system still feels light. That matters a lot once you get used to having multiple things going at the same time.

Claude Code also helps a lot with the rough edges. When I run into some niche config issue or weird tooling problem, it is usually fixable in minutes instead of turning into a rabbit hole.
