🚀 Now available: A Simple Starter Kit for Building macOS Menu Bar Apps
I’ve been exploring macOS development for a few months now. One of the projects I worked on was PopLight, a menu bar app that monitors internet connectivity.
Building it was fun, but getting started? Not so much.

I was trying to add GitHub’s MCP server to Claude Code and man, the official docs make it weirdly hard
they suggest running it via Docker 🤔
which is odd because... GitHub *does* have a remote MCP server

AI agents are already using your APIs and skipping everything else.
Pageviews, Discord pings, SDK installs - they don’t tell the full story anymore.
DevRel isn’t dead. But the old playbook is.

I made a one-click deploy template for Flask on
@digitalocean.com
I’ve got a bunch of tiny Flask/FastAPI apps I mess with, and now I can actually share them without saying - “ok so first, clone the repo…” 😀
Just click the button, and it's ready!

AI is out here solving quantum physics, but can it sort my 87 tabs, close the junk, add important ones to my to-do list, and file “read later” where I’ll actually read them?
That’s the AI promise I want 😊

I think I am ready to switch away from GSuite for my personal email at this point.
I have three emails with them (including one for my wife), and they have gone from $7 each to $12 each in less than 12 months.
What’s the best alternative for personal domain email?

Just want to say that Vienna has perhaps the best Christmas markets I have ever seen.
Absolutely magnificent, and the level of detailing is insane.
High recommend for holidays.

We took our 2.5 y/o to the Christmas market in Salzburg yesterday, where she discovered these soaps.
She meticulously picked up and smelled each of the 20-odd varieties before settling on these - a heart and a Euro coin.
Unwittingly, of course. Still, not a bad choice in life! 😊

One thing I love about Lisbon is the open-air workout culture in public parks.
There are so many 1:1 trainer led sessions every morning.
The weather is still nice here - so much better than the concrete gyms.

I had a great conversation with @martyndavies.me about quick start guides—what makes them work, and what often doesn’t.
It’s a topic I care deeply about, so it was a real pleasure to dive into the details and share some ideas.
Thanks for having me, Martyn!

Every time I fly, I message my family: boarded, taking off, landed.
For years, I did this manually. Just turned it into an iOS shortcut.
It asks for my status, drafts a quick message in iMessage or WhatsApp.
Super simple, but efficient. I like.

This would be pretty cool. Like an old school RSS feed, but no reader needed. I like.
Anyone interested in an “Only Links” feed that figures out what websites you like to see content from and shows you posts with links from them?

Swiss Air really wants me to take these two-prong headphones home.
Can’t wait to plug them into the in-flight entertainment system we all obviously have in our living room 🤨
