I am not a woodworker but wanted to make a simple dehydrator and had good results getting a cut list and build steps with pictures from Claude and the Sketchup integration.

Yes! This is very cool. Should be somewhat “locked” into the right area of scroll and picked item should have some height above the others.

Ah I see, I thought there was a health concern :-). Roasting it is a good idea, but FWIW raw cauliflower also keeps for a long time in a fridge.

Why?

If you use gitlab, you can use the command line "glab" tool to have agents work from the built in kanban. They can open and close tasks, start MRs off of them etc. It's not as integrated as this tool, but works well with a mix of humans and robots.

This is so fun. I built this into a live performance tool I am using this weekend. Thank you for sharing!

Minor UX feedback

- I find the internal scroll of setting up the presets limiting. Because the whole top half is fixed it is hard to see all my settings at once. Could either the whole panel scroll?

- In dark mode, the "Save" button is black on dark grey and looks disabled.

- The delete button is scarily prominent and no confimation. Can that be moved inside the preset panel so i dont accidently hit it while performing?

Looks nice, immediately wanted to multiselect audio (rain AND Middle East)

Plus you could get one of those long pokey sticks and stab the finished tasks on it. Seems satisfying.

Appreciate the quest indicator on the article :-)

Yes, you can get one that prints shipping labels

Do you have a demo of this? Sounds cool

Great, sent you an email

Woah, nice! I am definitely not a c coder, but I'm a UX designer. I've thought this project was cool for years and would be interested in helping out if my skills are ever of any use.

This app is not exactly your idea but it is along the same lines. You "drive" towards the letter you want by shifting your finger. It is the most interesting text input I've ever seen and have always thought it would be cool with some sort of joystick input.

Ah I gave up until I read this comment

I’ve spent a bunch of time disassembling a baby toy recently to do some circuit bending / adding to my synth setup. I’d be curious if anyone here has done any of that and has any fun results to share. I got stuck because I need a more precise soldiering iron, but hope to post some results at some point.

Off topic from the solver, which is neat to read through - I’m still a big fan of this game. Looks like I’ve played 33 days of the past ~40 days. My only critique is that the UI design of the end state could be improved. Lots of very small fonts.

Interesting, never thought about that. Also wonder what happens in Airplane mode / poor reception?

Ah maybe I changed this setting at some point and don't remember. It is always there for me, not only on hover.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but I just tried that flow with a Pages document and it still works in Sonoma. Drag the icon from the header, drop into an email. Now I'm curious what the old feature was.

I recently did a similar project for someone who had a long running site. They wanted to keep all the existing pages so that people's bookmarks would still work (while reducing their hosting fees).

In that case, their site was built in Wordpress, and so I grabbed the html and then posted it on GitHub pages (free static hosting). Then I pointed the domain name to Github from the previous host.

This worked well because they didn't care that it was no longer editable (although it could be hand edited without _that_ much trouble) and they had a strong desire to make it aesthetically identical.

Not sure if there is a huge "website update" component in your situation, but if not, you could probably go a similar route.

This podcast had an interesting deep dive on the history of on emoji recently - https://www.alieward.com/ologies/curiology

She went into the unicode side of things as well.

Nice example of when a typo expresses the idea better. :-D

For anyone interested in a near-future sci-fi look at how sulfur as a form of geoengineering might play out, check out out Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson[0]. The title[1] refers to what happens when you suddenly stop an effort like that...

I've used this menu about 5 times since yesterday, thanks again :)

Excellent! Thanks for the tip. I always forget that quick menu is there.
