Speaking of blueskyinbox.com, you can now selectively mute notifications for individual search terms, rather than having to globally enable/disable notifications when they get a bit too much.
Still only $19 one-time. Absolute steal.

Woops. Why didn't anybody tell me my changelog dates on blueskyinbox.com were off by a whole year? 😳

I built DeskVault last year because while I have multiple distinct Stripe accounts (one for each SaaS/product I sell), I want one joined up view of their performance. If that sounds like something you need, I'd love for you to check it out.

Claude code for web:
- connects directly to your GitHub repositories
- creates a sandboxed environment in which to conduct its work
- lets you open a PR once it has finished
Working totally "blind" isn't going to fit a lot of the time, but for some smaller tasks, this could be awesome.

Does anyone know precisely how Cloudflare applies CPU limits to long-lived WebSocket connections? I had a socket closed recently on ~2000ms CPU usage - way below the 30 second default.
Bumping the limit works, but I want to understand the methodology @cloudflare.social @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social

Weird bait & switch from Apple. Core Audio Taps was previously listed as stable from macOS 14.2. Now they're trying to claim it's in beta and only available from macOS 26.0 onwards?

Seriously, what are you supposed to believe when a company has this range of reviews? Admittedly the sample size on Yelp is miniscule... but boy, are those reviews *damning* 😅

The most important revenue figure nobody's talking about: $/commit.
... I dread to think what mine is. Can it go negative? I think mine's negative.

I'd like DeskVault (built ~September '24) to learn a lot from Bluesky Inbox (blueskyinbox.com - built ~February '25).
I think the latter is by far the best looking thing I've made. I had a lot of help from v0.dev, but I am slowly but surely improving my once non-existent design eye.

I haven't worked on DeskVault in *ages*. Way too long. I'm dusting it off this afternoon briefly to go after this rather nuts gross revenue viz I made under the influence of far too much coffee and exuberance.
Left: current. Right: WIP changes.

Very cool: inngest now lets you filter function invocations based on payload values. Your handlers should include sensible tracing info in logs already, but easy access to inngest's perspective is incredibly useful

WHOOP’s recent launch of their 5.0 wearable hasn’t been without the odd controversy, but I’m really excited to get this on, see some new metrics, and see if the sensor accuracy has improved (particularly on the wrist while cycling). Not to mention what it means for API consumers like fitIQ 👀
