Also, the stacked graph only allows you to quickly see total mentions, really hard to compare negative or positive sentiment across models at a glance.

Inventory is tight too, if you look at delivery/shipping times for Mac Studio and Mac Mini, I'm seeing April/May

I just did this at work, I was working with Postman testing an API and wanted it work in a slightly different way and be able to do some bulk testing, saving responses, all slightly different then how Postman worked. I clone just the features I wanted in about 15 minutes and now have my own API test tool that works exactly how I want. It is not something I would ever release or need to share, just a local tool for me to use. If your software doesn't provide a service, like sync, storage, availability, if it is just local, it'll be a tough market.

This also got me thinking about open source might be dying. For this tool, there is no reason for me to open source it, anyone can create the same thing in minutes. I didn't add anything, the only maybe interesting part would be to share the prompt, but then someone else can create their own prompt to have their tool do what they want.

Software world is really getting weird.

Brilliant, agree, that's much better and even more safer.

So would you make cul-de-sacs out of each column?

Do you have a school age child? My inbox is flooded with school updates, fund raisers, random questions, and is double when my two kids aren't at the same school.

:thinking-face:

- How builds and deploys are configured

- The simple aspect of connecting a GitHub repo and you get auto deploys

- Auto creating branch environments that make testing as easy as a new link

- Just configuring users and permissions and not seeing IAM anywhere is a huge win

My billing admins don't do any of this stuff.

Developer experience matters. This is what Vercel figured out and why their admin screens are sooooooo much better than anything AWS or Google creates.

New comment by marcuskaz in "Jotit – command-line notes with AI search and summaries"

marcuskaz — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 23:46:33 +0000

I got tired of fighting with note-taking systems. Every time I tried a system like PARA or Johnny Decimal, I'd spend too much energy thinking about filing notes plus when I needed to find something, I'd forget which bucket I put it in and end up grep-ing for it anyway.

So I built Jotit, a command-line app that just lets me dump notes quickly without thinking about where they go. I then use AI for search and to create summaries. Now I can query my notes in instead of trying to remember my past filing logic. Plus the summaries works surprisingly well: I can take messy notes all week and get a clean work summary on Friday.

Likewise, why doesn't git clone automatically cd into the repo?

> I am interested in are hosting my own RSS feed reader, an ebook library, and a password manager

You can do that on a Raspberry Pi Zero for $15, and for $12 you can get a 128gb microsd card, plenty of storage. It'll take up minimal power and fit in an Altoid tin.
