Stop wrestling with dumb AI prompts and just get the update.
It's simply better.

Cyberpunk sucked me a bit too much today, so I did less than I planned to, but at least groups are nicely separated from the main view, and the user can manage them. It ain’t much, but it’s an honest work.

 Day 64: Small UI Bits
Polished up the activities list today—now that I have icons for different activity types and better-formatted dates, it's coming together . Next up, I'll be preparing a TestFlight build to share the work in progress with friends and gather initial feedback! #buildinpublic

There’s gonna be a livestream tomorrow at 20:00 Central European time! I still haven’t decided on the topic

It can either be another Cork coding session, coding in general on my other apps, or we can play Civilization 6 if anyone would like to see that instead No matter what though, you can ask me any questions

I’m looking forward to meeting you there!

Spent some time last night and this morning replacing the custom UIKit image picker that Cursor made with the SwiftUI PhotosPicker. I now have a better understanding of how that process works. #iosdev #buildinpublic #swiftui

New Updates on my automated LEGO® sorting machine project - Scaling Up LEGO® Brick Storage for Large-Scale Sorting: https://BrickSortingMachine.com/scalling-storage #BuildInPublic #lego

Want to try Zamsara an AI meditation app for solopreneurs ?

We have iOS TestFlight builds available now with our standard meditation experiences.

DM me if you'd like early access to test our app.

We're eager for feedback as we refine our solution.

Feels silly after I discovered I was testing against the prod site and wondering why a change I made to dev isn't appearing #buildinpublic

Just updated the Zamsara landing page with new images and video.

We're building an AI meditation app for solopreneurs struggling with overwhelm, social media anxiety, and fear of failure.

Full launch on Product Hunt planned for next Wednesday, April 9.

Early access at https://zamsara.com

Been playing with using @cursor_ai rules across multiple projects without copy-pasting / losing sync

So far, looks like centralizing all my rules in one project and using symlinks for the specific rules I need in each other project works

With DevRules: Dive deep into detailed analysis (see attached).

The difference is massive.

#OpenSource #BuildInPublic

My SFSymbol Browser app for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS (MenuBar) is starting to take shape. Here is the latest Mac Menubar version working.

2 small successes today! I added some icons for users to select for habits. Not a handful, but I believe the choice is now more robust. I also started implementing group support, which you can see in the image.

Rough mock-up of how I want the top of my website to look. Maybe. What do you think? #BuildInPublic

Building in public isn't what it used to be. And while I still enjoy building and creating passion projects, I'm noticing there's a lot of context that gets lost in translation.

Assumptions, expectations, and misunderstandings seem to come with the territory.

Reflecting on this piece I wrote a few years ago:
