I generated a quick SQA explainer video clip using Veo. Even with an open ended prompt the holistic view came through.

I’ve made a career building code gen and low / no code tools. I get how AI based code generators and the other tools work. I thought the field was crowded. But if you niche-down, I think there’s still plenty of opportunities.

Here is the prompt that I used to generate that image: “Create a chart showing a SaaS talking to a browser vs an MCP talking to a chat / AI prompt”
Bluesky could use a credential popup like they have on LinkedIn.

Instead of creating a SaaS accessed through a browser, consider building an MCP accessed via a prompt. The tricky part is figuring out how to monetize it.

Overwater bungalow, Tahiti.
I’m curious as to how a panoramic looks when uploaded to Bluesky.
If you download it and view it using my Pano Zoom app, I wonder if something gets lost in the translation?

I couldn’t revive an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to do a factory reset before I recycle it. So Plan B: open the case with a pry tool, put the 000 Phillips head in my screw driver and take it apart.

It turns out you can price your iPhone apps for as little as $0.29 USD. As an experiment in holiday pricing: I put in a temporary price reduction - for US and Canada only. It’s set to expire on May 26th.

My latest app - Pano Zoom - is now available on the iOS App Store!
It allows you to pan, pinch and zoom panoramic photos. The photos you take with your iPhone camera using the “pano” setting.

Interesting. Apple needs me to provide panoramic photos to verify my app submission for the iOS App Store. Easy enough to resolve.

I’m experimenting with selling digital downloads through my Buy Me a Coffee shop.
You can see what it looks like here: buymeacoffee.com/mitchallen/e...
The link is also available on my home page as well as my puzzle book site (see links in bio).

The biggest pain point with my latest app was letting the user manage what photos the app could access. There are three states which every app should honor: Full Access, Limited Access (user picks which photos are allowed) and Denied. Then the app needs to observe when the state changes.

Instead of installing CLI tools on your n8n server, wrap them in a custom server. It’s portable, scalable and doesn’t require a custom n8n server.

After several years I have a new app on the Apple App Store!
I took some of my knowledge from working on bank and spreadsheet apps and rolled it into a pack of cost calculators.

For public facing AI Agent workflows I’m building in a Human In The Loop. I can’t just let agents spam people with potential unfiltered gibberish - or worse. Everything goes to a draft so that I can edit and improve it first.

I had read somewhere that the Restore Purchases button was no longer necessary. I guess that was wrong. This is a simple fix.
Unlike other app stores, Apple rarely shuts you down or leaves you guessing.
