My people, this breakfast took too long to make when I have 50 shots to get done this weekend as well as cooking for the neighbors. Also I can make apps for Apple now, so, like. I’m at peak broke but enjoying the shit out of life.

I made an app. It’s running on my phone. It’s a katakana flashcard app to help me learn it. It has several tiers of study leading up to common loan words.
I used Claude code to research and develop it with tweaks I needed for my style of learning.
Pretty neat.
