If you’re a Craft user and are looking for ways that Gen AI could add value to the Craft Assistant, I wrote this document. I think there is an untapped potential in Craft because of minimalistic support for the ChatGPT entry-level model. Feedback is welcome.

I just completed recording my next YouTube video (my YouTube channel), which will come out early next week. It’s probably the one I’m the most proud of at many levels. The release will match the release of a new version of an app that I like a lot 🤫. Technically, the sound is good. … read more

The Arc Browser is the perfect browser to consume my Micro.blog timeline. In fact, it’s the best browser to consume, period. I’m (mostly) in love. I know, I may be late to the party.

Currently exploring and testing the Arc browser. This thing looks seriously cool. I wish Apple invented it. My only serious concern is iCloud Keychain support. 👀🤔

Message to me📌: don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. don’t subscribe to Scribbles. I left Write.as to focus on Micro.blog, why try Scribbles? It makes no sense.

Just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out Safari Profiles, tab groups, etc. Am I alone in thinking that this is far from being user-friendly? I just can’t understand how these things work together.

I’m wondering about this upcoming Micro.blog “big new feature” quite often. What new feature could require its own section on the left sidebar? What could mandate the release of companion apps on iOS and Android? Let’s try to think about it for a minute. So, MB already covers … read more

I’m excited for Tapestry, so I’m supporting it. Mastodon, RSS feeds, and Bluesky can be quite busy sources… how Tapestry is going to tackle high-velocity information feeds is interesting.

I just lost 20 minutes of my life trying to figure out how to log back into a Slack community with the original email that I used initially. It’s probably the most frustrating experience I ever experienced. Slack is unique in that respect, and I just don’t get why it didn’t evolve over time. I ended up creating a new account, which made me lose all my past conversations. 🙄

The work to switch my blog’s visual theme is going really well. It’s a bit easier than I thought to set the desired colour theme, thanks to the plugin’s settings and user-friendliness. I may try the switch tonight, so buckle up during the transition. Reminder: I’ll switch from TinyTheme to Cards Theme. Why? Here’s why: 1) the overall design gives some bit of depth to the content. 2) Post categories are exposed and provide an easy way to browse the blog content. 3) The theme plugin settings give some flexibility. 4) Long posts with a title look better. 🛠️

5x traffic spike on Gumroad for The Craft Bible. Saturday, I bought a dedicated domain name for this subscription on Gumroad. Coincidence? 🤔 I’ll have to see the coming days to make a final judgment.

Inoreader is on a roll so far this year: Team folders, monitored feeds, and now the ability to follow Bluesky users! These are all welcomed additions.

Now, if only they could give some love to their mobile apps¹.

I just realized that I could (and should) use Raycast AI to summarize articles saved into Omnivore and save the summary into the article notes. Then, I could finish up the metadata with appropriate tags. I used to do that within Craft before, but the Craft AI assistant uses GPT 3.5, limits the length of the input into the summarize request and doesn’t support “real tags” like in Omnivore.

So, I made the decision: **Bye-bye Write.as**👋🏻. It’s fun to move things around on the internet, but I pay the price for being too impulsive and not intentional in some of my decisions. It was an impulsive decision to subscribe to Write.as. There was something seductive in the post editor, and being open source is the way to go. But I have to admit that it was a diversion. Now, focusing on Micro.blog. 😊

Sidenote: I find great satisfaction in simplification. This reminds me of when I was an indie iOS developer: I remember the instants of removing lines of code and making things leaner. It procured a lot of satisfaction.

I want a dedicated domain name for The Craft Bible. I did some research this morning to find out that I can buy craft.com for a mere 4960US$! WTF! 😳 Meanwhile, thecraftbible.com is available for a mere 9.77 US$. 😅

Update: finally bought and configured thecraftbible.com with Cloud Flare.

Another bill to pay, I guess. I love Keyboard Maestro.❤️

Does anyone know if Cultured Code is actively working on Things 4? Any rumors about what could be the gist of this release? Asking for a friend who’s considering switching to Apple Reminders¹.

After watching this video, I came to the conclusion that 95% of what I’m doing with Things 3 can be done now with Apple Reminders. Tags, templates, folders, section headers, it’s all there. Some of the things are better presented in Reminders (link previews), and there is a column view that can act as a Kanban board. Something to reconsider. 🤔

My ChatGPT usage at work made me think about using GenAI in general. I came to the conclusion that you must be experienced in the field you are asking questions to be able to distinguish good answers from bullshit. My thought.
