Got fed up that the third(?) checklist/todo app I've used have become enshittified.
Vibe coded my own macOS/iOS app combo in a an hour or two. Should have done this a long time ago. Supports sync-ish. YMMV.

Just watched LA Takedown, the proto-Heat from 1989.
Pretty much exact same story but not nearly as good. Fascinating to compare the filmmaking.

I was wondering when there was last a song on the Billboard top 10 that I really liked.
Downloaded the billboard data from github.com/mhollingshea...
then compared against my last.fm history.
Apparently it was Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana released in 1992 (played >20 times by me).
