When working with AI across multiple apps, it can be cumbersome.
To streamline this, I created a repository in the root folder with two files:
- A `.gitignore` file containing: `/*/` to ignore all subfolders.
- An `ARCHITECTURE.md` file with summaries of all apps.

Somebody who love clocks and loves finding the edges of what any given technology is capable of.

If you're a frontend developer, you should check out @cursor_ai's Browser Tab.
It makes it incredibly simple to point to elements directly in the browser. No more struggling to describe an element in words, just point and click.
I can't live without it now (been using it for two days).

We discuss reducing churn almost daily here.
However, one company took a unique approach.
They actively remove inactive customers from their paid subscriptions.

I didn't know I could enjoy a non-Google Maps theme, but I really like the colors of Kagi Maps. The added trees are a nice touch too, giving it a more game-like feel.
