I have the exact same setup and editor for me is just neovim as I can easily see changes (lazygit) and make small tweaks. The only thing I’m missing in my workflow is some isolation for running claude so I can let it go without having to approve tools.

One month ago, I purchased this small eink reader (Xteink 4) and I've been loving reading on that device. It made me read much more in the past month (already more than 50% through Fall or Dodge in Hell).

The stock firmware is horrible but the community has this firmware called CrossPoint. I wanted to be able to upload, manage files etc. from my iPhone on the go and also send over web articles. So I build this app CrossPoint Sync https://crosspointsync.com to do just that.

I've already published it on App Store and pending publishing on Android. The community is niche and has also been using the app, so its been fun building for my use and in turn also getting good feedback from community.

If you are using the Xteink and CrossPoint firmware, then give the app a try.

I was trying out an MCP tool and hit few issues, even though there is MCP inspector which sets up a webserver etc. I wanted much simpler tool I can use in SSH environment, so I built (with Claude Code) a terminal tool to proxy any stdio MCP server and then use the monitor TUI to see all the flow of calls between MCP client and server. Its been helpful to learn thing about MCP as you see the flow of calls happening and inspect them.

I love Kobo for that. I hooked UART with a Variometer (measure rate of climb in aircraft) and use it in glider soaring as a flight computer (good contrast on sunny day)

Yes, definitely faster now but crappier.

I've been wondering how can recent advances in AI can help with exploring regulations (currently related to aviation). Here is a beta app which uses embeddings to search and then uses GPT to quickly provide pilots with answers to aviation regulations in Title 14.

Please note that this is a beta version, so errors may occur and you should always verify the response. I welcome feedback and suggestions to help improve the app. If you find an answer helpful, don't forget to give it a thumbs up, and if you think an answer could be improved, please give it a thumbs down.

If I wanted to change it, add something after I generate does it mean I have to pay another $20 or does it allow multiple generations after buying? I tried finding the answer in FAQ but couldn't.

BTW, the PDF do look sleek.

Restarted my phone thinking something wrong with it. Then changed to Cloudflare DNS instead of PiHole thinking it maybe pihole issue. Because when does HN ever go down :D
