😆 'Max'? I'm not sure that word means what you think it means . . .

I'm about to hit the daily limit in less than a half day of usage just _playing_ with it. 🤷‍♂️

I have been very surprised how fully featured this Obsidian spreadsheet plugin (
Univer") is.

Now I have small local spreadsheets organized with notes and diagrams (Excalidraw plugin), and I really have not run in to any layout/calc I needed that it could not handle.

Playing around with [building out] this keyboard streak tracking idea some more. Added a way to reset the data, and with only a couple of data points on the chart, my improvement trend line today is impressive. 🤣

Happy Friday!

Recently, I was toying around with making a small open source macOS menu bar experiment/app to track keyboard usage 'streaks' (no mouse). Here's what it looks like so far:

The Cline memory bank pattern is INSANE and not talked about enough.

It is enabling me to steadily and safely address tech debt in a code base.

As the code base grew, I was getting pretty chaotic results without this 'map' that helps guide the LLM!

CCMenu (originally named for CruiseControl) can apparently monitor Github workflow status! cool!

I wasn't really looking for a new Terminal app (Ghostty.org), but the satisfaction/nostalgia of an always available 'quick' terminal sliding down from top of screen at a keypress is real.

Some fun background on where Ghostty came from is here: zig.show/episodes/32/

Surprising things I learned: The system prompt additions that power the Cline 'memory bank' feature use a Mermaid spec'd flowchart rather than prose to reduce ambiguity. Cool!!

Like any metric, it can be gamed... but this particular one is _even more opaque_ than most, since contributions to a private repo are shown in that graph and you can't drill into the detail.

I mean.... this one looks real, right?
