<p>Apple's permissions make apps safer, but at the cost of being pretty hostile to developers — especially when there's no alternative API.</p>

<p>My friends and I have been using Claude Code a lot. Someone joked about wanting to see who's the biggest whale, so I built this. Run `npx ccclub init`, get a 6-letter code, share it — done. It only uploads token counts and cost, no prompts or code ever leave your machine.<p>Source: <a href="https://github.com/mazzzystar/ccclub" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mazzzystar/ccclub</a></p>

<p>You might want to check out <a href="https://whispernotes.app" rel="nofollow">https://whispernotes.app</a> - it's a one-time purchase, no subscription. For offline apps with no ongoing server costs, I think buy-once should at least be an option alongside subscriptions.</p>

<p>Last month I had a massive fight with my parents. Said some really harsh things, then spent the night drowning in guilt.<p>I've been working on this AI journal called Clio that actually pauses to think before responding (30-60 seconds instead of instant replies). So I shared my mess with it.<p>It told me something I hadn't considered: "You both care about completely different things, and what you said essentially told them that what they care about is meaningless."<p>That reframe changed my mind. I realized my words hadn't expressed what I actually meant, but Clio saw the underlying dynamic I was missing.<p>1. Why I built this:
I got frustrated with AI that fires back instant responses without really processing what you're saying. Most of us think in messy fragments and struggle to put complex feelings into words.<p>2. What I've noticed:
When AI takes time to actually contemplate what you've shared, it catches patterns you miss about your own thinking. The conversations that change how you see things take time.<p>It's like having that friend who listens deeply and asks the questions you're afraid to ask yourself.<p>As Wittgenstein said: "The limits of my language are the limits of my world."<p>I think Clio helps you find words for thoughts you didn't know you had.<p>Try it: <a href="https://getclio.app" rel="nofollow">https://getclio.app</a><p>Built with Claude Code. Would love feedback from the community!</p>

<p>Apple doesn't allow developers to target specific device models, presumably to prevent discrimination. However, you have two options: 1. Set a minimum iOS version requirement, or 2. Restrict to devices with A12 chips or later. But neither approach can exclude certain problematic device models.</p>

<p>This reminds me of my own painful story: I once made a local photo search app called Queryable that ported OpenAI's CLIP model to iPhone, letting you search your photos with queries like "a black cat sitting on a sofa."<p>Since it needed to access users' local photo libraries, I didn't want the app to connect to the internet under any circumstances. So I made it a paid app instead of the usual free+in-app purchases model, since the latter requires calling StoreKit which goes online. But because the app had to run the CLIP model, it would crash on lower-performance phones like the iPhone X. Users who paid for it couldn't use it and felt scammed, leading to tons of one-star reviews and angry complaints about their photos being stolen. Eventually I decided to open-source the app, though it never brought me much revenue anyway.<p>Two years later, Apple started announcing they'd be integrating this exact feature into Apple Intelligence : )</p>

<p>I've recently become interested in Spanish guitar, particularly the Gypsy and flamenco styles, but I don't know how to get started. Are there any beginner textbooks or videos available? I previously bought a book that started with scale exercises, which I found very tedious, and ended up giving up. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>I've been using WhisperNotes (<a href="https://whispernotes.app" rel="nofollow">https://whispernotes.app</a>) for iOS/macOS and really appreciate the offline approach - no recurring API costs and everything stays local. The transcription quality is solid, though you're right that it doesn't handle summarization yet. Still worth checking out if privacy and costs matter to you.</p>

<p>I'm making a fun app that allows people to share what they're doing right now, and you can see what others are doing right now. It reminds me of what it was like when the internet was first born - seeing what others are living makes me not feel so alone anymore.<p>If you'd like to play, visit: <a href="https://cike.app" rel="nofollow">https://cike.app</a></p>

<p>Hi, I'm the developer. Yesterday, I came across the website <a href="https://humans.maxcomperatore.com" rel="nofollow">https://humans.maxcomperatore.com</a> and was inspired to create a similar one where you can write about what you're doing right now and share it with others, while also seeing what people around the world are doing at the same time.<p>Seeing what others are doing online at the same time gives me a sense of companionship. Have fun!</p>

<p>With a similar intention, I made an open source blog tool that stores md files on Github: <a href="https://github.com/mazzzystar/tinymind">https://github.com/mazzzystar/tinymind</a><p>No deployment is required, just authorise Github to access your public repo permissions. It will create a repo called "tinymind-blog" under your Github account. Every update you make will be committed to your Github repo, ensuring data synchronisation at all times.</p>

<p>Hi, I made a little gadget that allows you to virtually travel by watching YouTube videos, such as strolling down Fifth Avenue, exploring Italian cities or walking through the streets of Tokyo, using the Gemini Vision API.<p>I know it's a bit crude and I'm not sure how to monetise it. I just find the idea fascinating and it has been on my mind for a while. I want to build it quickly, release it and then forget about it.<p>At the moment I'm burning through my own tokens, so if you find the service unavailable, it's because the token has been used up :(</p>
