Guided Claude Code to build a premium add-on plugin for Bricks builder that adds custom query types for outputting terms with hierarchical support nested in a taxonomy loop.

Finished testing it.

Going to spend tomorrow going through the code and then release it.

Rediscovering Arc.

What a beautiful and functional browser!

It's a shame they decided not to continue developing it.

Bear notes vs Obsidian sample RAM usage:

This is with 3 open notes and 13 plugins in Obsidian.

Been using Obsidian for last 3 days and it's slowly growing on me.

Being able to hover on linked notes and edit them right there in a popup is pretty cool.

Have these plugins currently enabled:

- Calendar
- Dataview
- Day Planner
- Home tab
- Hover Editor
- Omnisearch
- Strange New Worlds
- Tasks

Had 2 days of intense JavaScript learning. Have 60% more to go followed by some practice projects.

I am able to read code like this now. A 2-day old me would look at it and say 'what the heck is all this?!'.
