Interesting, I did and document the same kind of experiment a few months ago [1], it looks like so much changed since then!

Show HN: Kadō – habit tracker app for iOS, open source and privacy-friendly

scastiel — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 16:29:59 +0000

I made this small app because I wanted a habit tracker that was not only free, open source and privacy-friendly, but at the same time offer a nice "premium-feeling" experience on iOS.

I used amangeldybaiserkeev/TeymiaHabit for a while, but I was not really satisfied with the user experience.

Very soon I intend to propose an Apple Watch version.

Totally agree, and I go even farther: I consider that the PR author is totally responsible of merging their PR or not, and so no comment is blocking. I can make a comment I consider blocking, but there might be very good reasons that I can't see to still merge the PR. Fixes can come in a follow-up PR. As long as everyone takes responsibility for their work, it is a well-working system.

This will get upvotes just because the link is too small and close to the upvote button…

New comment by scastiel in "Turning Claude Code into my best design partner"

scastiel — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 08:42:45 +0000

Indeed, switching partially from Cursor to Claude Code increased the bill by a lot! Fortunately I use Claude Code mostly at work and I had no trouble to convince my boss to pay for it. But I’m still not sure how I’ll continue building side projects with Claude Code. Not sure I want to spend $20 each time I want to bootstrap an app in an evening just for fun…

I agree, prompt engineering really is the foundation of working with AI (whether it’s for coding or anything else).

For the first time in my career, I have no idea what software engineering will look like in 5-10 years. This post documents the 2-hour experience with Cursor that shifted me from AI coding skeptic to daily user.
