Raycast as a keyboard on iOS makes so much more sense. I like that they decided not to compete with other keyboards for text input. It’s just a keyboard for Raycast features youtu.be/lta7_MCTzxo?...

I’m more interested in new vacuum robot models than in new smartphones. The current generation can already vacuum and mop floors, then clean and dry themselves. Some even have robotic arms. Next generations will move to different floors and use tools with their arms 🤯

No way! finally I can use Fastmail offline. Before I had to switch to Mail app for these cases

Was a bit busy last couple of months. Was focusing more on my day job, want to eventually land a promotion

I really like new orange color of iPhone 17 pro

I'm trying to integrate Claude Code with my Obsidian setup. Can anyone recommend reliable MCP servers? So far, the ones I've tried have connection, search, and editing issues. Should I just stick with file search instead?

I wish iPhone mirroring worked with Sidecar. Since I always use my iPad as a sidecar, I can't use iPhone mirroring at all

How often do you interview with other companies? I aim to complete a full interview cycle about twice a year. This helps me evaluate myself against the market and keep my interviewing skills sharp

I can't even imagine having a dog without a robot vacuum cleaner. It saves so much time!

Now I can confirm all the screams from Reddit. Claude became much dumber and I can't use it the same way as before

I wish Claude Code allowed me to quickly toggle MCP servers. Having MCPs enabled all the time seems to burn through tokens much faster

Did you know you can fork a conversation in Claude Code by double-pressing Esc?

After using macOS 26 and iOS 26 for a few days, going back seems unusual, and the UI looks less pleasing. Even though in some cases I find Liquid Glass harder to use because of a bigger variety of colors and reduced contrast

I admit the new macOS, iOS, and iPadOS look nice. I like the style and icons; the UI feels more lightweight. Since WatchOS has a dark background, Apple could have used even more "glass" there 😅

Now there a progress bar for Safari Picture-in-Picture mode in #macOS26. Finally!

Upgraded to macOS 26. Unfortunately, Apple removed the compact tab mode from Safari. I really liked it

Nice, today I learned that there's a planning mode in Claude Code. Now I can plan with Opus and execute with Sonnet. Feels much more efficient!

"Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 5 pm"

Apparently, the cheaper subscription for Claude Code is not enough for me. Maybe it's a sign that I need to go to the gym

Working with Claude Code is so much better than JetBrains AI. Yes, it's not as fancy, but it is so much functional and smarter!
July 5, 2025 at 1:32 AM
In two days, my JetBrains AI subscription ends, and I'm switching to Claude Code. It's the best tool on the market. Nothing can beat it so far 🤷‍♂️

AI chat in Raycast for iOS is nearly unusable. The app takes so long to load any chat with a decent history

The past three weeks have been hectic. Despite my earlier complaints about looking after a dog for a week, I now have one myself, and he's truly the best dog in the world! 🐕✨

IntelliJ IDEA crashes every time my Mac goes to sleep. What a shame!

Wow, now iPad apps have a menu bar. Overall, I like that the iPad is getting a little bit closer to something more useful, but why so slow?

I've been using React Native (with Expo) and so far it's not as enjoyable as React for web. Much more magic, UI doesn't look as nice as I'd like.
I'd try SwiftUI, but I want to cover as many platforms as possible with less effort. Any tips and tricks for beginners?
