I have two personal projects at the moment.

First, https://agency.nu/ a personal agent platform for people who aren’t necessarily developers, but still want to connect multiple Gmail, Calendar, and other accounts and automate workflows across them. Spent a lot of time making the interaction easy and natural, so it supports chat, realtime voice and telegram.

Second, https://vinarium.one/ something I primarily built for myself to keep track of the wines in my wine fridge, when to drink them, and what pairs well with a particular dish.

Both are very much scratching my own itch, but I’m curious if either resonates with anyone else here.

I switched from tmux to Zellij a while back, and lately added a stop hook that sends a terminal ping to the correct tab when the agent is done (and I'm not looking at the tab). It has been pretty convenient so far.

Added an example here:

Very nice!

I created `ygg`[0] a while back to easily spawn a new worktree when working with Claude/codex, and it also spawns that in a dedicated zellij tab. I think making the terminal multiplexer pluggable, so it would be easy to integrate something like this.

I tried it a bit, and while the potential is huge, I mostly just use a cli agent (claude/codex) via Blink shell (iPhone/iPad) with Wireguard for technical work or https://agency.nu for any automations using integration, voice chat etc.

PragmataPro looks great, thanks for the tip!

I didn't necessarily select the one closest to what I currently use in the game, but more looking at the shapes of different characters to see what looked the "nicest".

I go for the Iosevka Nerd Font Mono these days to get the nice icons everywhere.

Playing the game gave me Jetbrains Mono though.

Hey HN! I built ygg to make git worktrees easy to work with day-to-day with multiple Claude Code in the same repo. By running ygg new my-feature, it creates a worktree and a tab in zellij (if available) and you can get right to work. It even copies untracked files, so your .env files etc follow. When done, ygg remove will remove the current worktree and close the zellij tab.

Install via Homebrew: brew tap joch/ygg && brew install ygg

Hope you find it useful! Would love to hear what you think!

Agreed, even for humans, context-free logic is a challenge.

Performance is surprisingly great, but of course it’s not as sharp/high res as you would get on a PC.

There's an app for Quest 3 called Gracia, which allows you to see these in 3D space:

I would like to recommend Adaptive Lighting in favor of Circadian Lighting. It has the added benefit of being able to detect if someone manually adjusts the brightness or color, and then stops the automatic adjustment for that light.

Sounds like using mergerfs together with snapraid would work similar to the popular Unraid software but more diy.

I agree, but I'm ok with adding a title manually.

Speaking of missing features, what I do miss though is the automatic title naming based on current calendar events. It was a perfect way of tracking meeting notes, but that feature has been removed.

I have been using Evernote for over 10 years now. The core note taking experience has never been close to good, but two things have made me stick by it through the years (powered through the nagging for business subscription)

1. Web clipper, which I use as a bookmark replacement, as well as for keeping copies of articles. Great for searching and knowing that I will always have a copy if a site suddenly disappears.

2. PDF ocr / search. I store a lot of receipts, contracts, invoices, manuals and other docs in Evernote, most of which are in PDF. I find the search-in-pdf feature indispensable.

I would love to move to something simpler like Bear (http://www.bear-writer.com), which has a superior writing experience. However, the two points above always make me come back to Evernote.

Edit: Also forgot to include the ability to take unstructured notes and sketches using the Apple Pencil on an iPad, while a bit cumbersome in Evernote, at least works.
