|
| (But then, 1) some team changes happened that pushed us

|
| For me, I couldn't find a tool that would let me customize

| seanwilson wrote:
| So for my tool, I really need the live UI mockup without
| having to export first to tweak the colors until they
| work (e.g. often the off-white/very-light colors used for
| backgrounds are too vibrant otherwise), the control-point
| based curve editing helps to explore
| hue/saturation/lightness curves around a brand color
| without a lot of clicking, and I want the option for
| palettes where each color scale follows the same steps in
| lightness (for predictable contrast between steps from
| different color scales).
|
| Barely any designers I work with know about P3 colors
| (feels like P3 mostly appeals to developers right now,
| for programmatic reasons?), so I'm not that interested in
| P3 if it means using OKLCH with its intimidating looking
| color picker. My tool uses HSLuv, which looks familiar
| like an HSL color picker, where unlike HSL only the
| lightness slider alters the WCAG contrast, so HSLuv
| (while limited to sRGB) is great for exploring accessible
| colors.
|
| I've actually got support for APCA, but I find many
| struggle understanding WCAG contrast requirements
| already. There's Figma export too.
|
| Anyway, there's lots of overlap between different color
| tools but the small details are important for different
| workflows and needs. I've started to realise too that
| most designers need a lot of introduction into building
| (accessible) color palettes in general so it's a tricky
| puzzle between adding features and trying to keep it
| simple, which is why I'm very open to suggestions!

| My big takeaway lesson from this is that the APIs are clumsy, the

| everything instead of the whole thing "just working". For
| example:
|
| Large file uploads are very inconsistent between providers. You
| get fun issues like a completed file upload being unusable
| because there's an extra "processing" step that you have to poll-
| wait for. (Surprise!)
|
| The vendors all expose a "list models" API, none of which return
| a consistent and useful list of metadata.
|
| Automatic context caching isn't.
|
| Multi-modal inputs are still very "early days". Models are
| terrible at mixed-language input, multiple speakers, and also get
| confused by background noises, music, and singing.
|
| You can tell an AI to translate the subtitles to language 'X',
| and it will.. most of the time. If you provide audio, it'll _get
| confused_ and think that it is being asked to transcribe it! It
| 'll return _new_ English subtitles sometimes.
|
| JSON schemas are a hint, not a constraint with some providers.
|
| Some providers *cough*oogle*cough* don't support all JSON Schema
| constructs, so you can't safely use their API with arbitrary
| input types.
|
| If you ask for a whole JSON document back, you'll get timeout
| errors.
|
| If you stream your results, you have to handle reassembly and
| parsing yourself, the frameworks don't handle this scenario well
| yet.
|
| You'd think a JSON list (JSONL) schema would be perfect for this
| scenario, but they're explicitly _not supported_ by some
| providers!
|
| Speaking of failures, you also get refusals and other
| _undocumented_ errors you 'll only discover in production. If
| you're maintaining a history or sliding window of context, you
| have to carefully maintain snapshots so you can roll back and
| retry. With most APIs you don't even know if the error was a
| temporary or permanent condition, of if your retry loop is eating
| into your budget or not.
|
| Context size management is extra fun now that none of the
| mainstream models provide their tokenizer to use offline.
| Sometimes the input will fit into the context, sometimes it
| won't. You have to back off and retry with various heuristics
| that are problem-specific.
|
| Ironically, the APIs are _so new_ and undergoing so much churn
| that the AI models know nothing about them. And anyway, how could
| they? None of them are properly documented! Google _just_ rewrote

|
| Mainly I'm working on a task dispatch dashboard called Prompter

| It's a harness for Claude / Gemini / GPT models with a GUI that

| the task description and come back when it's done. Parallelism
| first.
|
| Some example highlight features:
|
| -One dashboard view that shows all your parallel sessions and
| which tasks each agent has in progress and in their queue. Also
| shows recently completed tasks and outputs. This is my attempt at
| the ideal "pilot's cockpit view" for agentic development.
|
| -Tasks are well tracked by the manager: see their status, file
| changes, and git commits. One click task retry. Get breakdowns on
| cost per run. Tasks can be set to automatically recur on a given
| schedule. Everything goes into a persistent local DB so you can
| easily pull up task data from months ago. Far far better user
| experience than trying to pull up old chat histories IMO.
|
| -Timeline view and analytics views that give you hard stats on
| your velocity and how effectively your agents are using and
| updating your codebase. See unique stats like which of your files
| your agents read the most and how many daily LOC and commit
| changes you're doing. See how well you're parallelizing workloads
| at a simple glance.
|
| -Automatic system diagram generation
|
| -Task suggestion feature. If your agents are idle, they can draft
| tentative tasks to carry out next, based on the project history
| and your goals. This makes keeping multiple agents spinning
| actually much easier than you'd think. You don't need to be a
| multitasking context-switching god to do this.

| The past few weeks I've been building Blackbird

| At a high level it's my take on how the execution aspect of spec-
| driven development should be handled. Where as most tools that
| are popular right now break a spec down into a task list and
| instruct your agent to work through it in a single session, I am
| treating agents as stateless. By this I mean a separate
| (headless) session is started with selected context for each
| task. This avoids context exhaustion, compaction (and the
| resulting confusion that can occur), and means that Blackbird can
| work through effectively an arbitrarily large task list.
|
| Right now it's BYO-spec, but then it:
|
| * breaks the spec down into a dependent-aware plan (DAG) composed
| of parent and child tasks
|
| * executes tasks one at a time based on their status (ready to
| execute if all dependencies are marked as completed)
|
| * allows you to (optionally) pause execution after each task to
| review, approve and continue, approve and quit, or reject the
| changes altogether
|
| * (soon) treats parent tasks as an automated reviewer for all
| child tasks and optionally auto-resume those sessions to address
| the feedback
|
| * and more
|
| It's entirely bootstrapped, and so far I'm quite pleased with it.
| I also wrote a post[1] today about some of the concepts I had in
| mind as I was defining the architecture.

| - Excessive cloning -- both note the Jellyfin client and

| - Application struct overloaded -- both agree it holds
| too many responsibilities. Kimi suggests splitting into
| LibraryService, PlaybackService, etc. I focused more on
| the RefCell exposure. - Silent error suppression --
| both flag let _ = sender.send(...) and
| unwrap_or_default() patterns. - Code duplication in
| UI -- both identify the repetitive list/detail/sorter
| patterns. Kimi specifically calls out
| call_on_visible_page widget comparisons, which I grouped
| under the broader "5+ copies of factory setup"
| observation. - Missing HTTP timeouts -- Kimi flags
| this explicitly. I noted it indirectly via the
| buffer_unordered without timeout, but Kimi is clearer.
| Things Kimi caught that I didn't emphasise -
| get_stream_uri returning String instead of Result -- a
| genuine API design issue I glossed over. - String-
| based signal names being error-prone with no compile-time
| checking -- fair point, though it's idiomatic GTK4/Rust.
| - glycin potentially unused -- I didn't check dependency
| usage. - Position polling not accounting for seeks
| -- a practical UX observation I missed. -
| /proc/sys/kernel/hostname read being cached in OnceLock
| -- Kimi approves the caching but notes it could be done
| once at startup. Minor but valid. Things I
| caught that Kimi missed - Actual bugs -- queue
| reorder off-by-one, playlist DnD index error, toast
| format string "HTTP {} error" never substituted, double-
| wrapped Result in stream_info.rs, reversed comment in
| shuffle logic. These are concrete defects, not just

| Cell<bool> shuffle state race, futures::Mutex inside
| glib::spawn_future_local deadlock risk, queue mutation
| race between remove_all() and extend_from_slice().
| - Signal handler accumulation on widget reuse in ListView
| factories -- a slow memory leak. - Main-thread

|
| dwata has an email scan which tests simple keywords and regex

| do not seem to be from a template (typical transaction emails are
| from templates). This is deterministic code in Rust. Then dwata
| can use the regex builder AI agent to take one email from the
| group and build a regex pattern to extract extensive financial
| data - (optional) who sent, how much, (optional) to whom, on
| which date, with (optional) reference ID.
|
| The generated patterns are saved to local DB and run for the
| email group (by sender) which was used to generate the regex.
| That gives a very high performance, AI enabled financial data
| extractor.
|
| Soon, I will focus on events, places, people, tasks, health and

|
| The first three are:
|
| - miniWake: keeps the computer awake
|
| Alternatives: Powertools; USB mouse jigglers
|
| Features: installs without admin rights; triggers invisible mouse

|
| - miniRec: records system audio + microphone to mp3/wav
|
| Alternatives: various utilities like Voicemeter, AudioRouter, or
| some DAWs
|
| Features: does not require any special driver; installs without
| admin rights; light on resources; "invisible" to third parties
| (video meetings); auto turn off after 5 minutes of silence
| (configurable)
|
| - miniCron: system scheduler as a service
|
| Alternatives: NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager;
| Splinterware
|
| Features: launches any program at any given time (cron like but
| without cron syntax); kills the current task when the service is
| stopped; reads and logs stdin/stderr; very light on ressources
| and very simple
|
| Two others are in the works.

| - Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use

|
| - Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs

| - improvements to the scripts I use to compile software from
| source; I want to be able to build a complete LFS/BLFS without
| any interaction (I know there is AFLS but I don't like the format
| or restrictions; I literally want to be able to do everything
| here via actionable scripts at every moment in time, including
| using git sources rather than old releases)
|
| - continue on the unified widgets project (e. g. use oldschool
| GUIs but also for the web "GUIs"). Describe once, run anywhere,
| in any programming language. This is obviously way too much for a
| single person, so I mostly want to get the foundation right,
| prototype primarily in ruby, then add python and java to it. The
| "end format" should be for normal people, e. g. they should be
| able to describe everything in one format, and then have that be
| the basis for every GUI.
|
| - continue working with regard to bioinformatics, also with a
| focus on normal people (non-tech savvy people). Most
| bioinformatics software was written by math-heavy tech-centric
| people, which makes sense. It's not trivial to work with that (we
| have AI to work around this to some extent, but I feel that many
| people who use AI don't understand the underlying components; I
| kind of want something like a Linux from Scratch for all
| bioinformatics-centric software. Like not just use it but full
| and useful explanations that are not too technical, but also not
| too overly long.)
|
| Hopefully gem.coop becomes a viable alternative to rubygems.org -
| I hate the corporate identity rubygems.org adopted (and you can
| see the fall-out in other areas, e. g. Heroku dying right now,
| which kind of means ruby will die too, if all use cases are
| eroded despite the pro-corporate focus RubyCentral embraced).
| Unfortunately things seem to become worse in general - I was
| hoping LadyBird would be a real competitor. The moment you make
| any statement that they perceive as "criticism" is the moment
| their code of conduct kicks in and locks you out. And that's not
| even after a first release; imagine how they will operate once
| people come in with complaints about LadyBird having problems.
|

|
| Poker has been a passion of mine for a few years now, I find the

|
| The web app uses Django/Channels/WebSockets. We've built an

| Beta/gated, and you're interested in learning more please email
| contact at surlesol dot com.
|
| We are thinking of pricing $8/month or $74.99/year, with the
| rationale that this will be far less expensive than learning by
| experience at even micro stakes for online poker, with better
| feedback for learning, and at least we make it explicit that
| you're competing against bots ;-)
|
| 1. I am aware that GTO play is not always optimal, especially in
| live poker where live tells are available, and often exploitative
| strategies fare better than pure GTO. The target audience for
| ComputerPoker.ai is not hardcore poker pros, there's plenty of
| existing software for that, but rather those individuals looking
| to get acquainted with what GTO play "feels like." Then, with
| this knowledge in hand, knowing what the GTO play would be given
| various assumptions about our range and a reasonable opponent's
| range, we can deviate from the GTO play as deemed necessary.

| -- case files, templates, emails, the full picture.
|
| What we've been shipping lately on the v3 branch:
|
| * Workflow engine -- visual editor + execution pipeline for legal
| document workflows (think: intake - draft - review - send, all
| orchestrated)
|
| * Case-context AI assistant -- docked right into your case view,
| with file attachments, skill system, and next-action suggestions.
| It knows your case, not just your prompt. Think Pipedrive CRM for
| lawyer!
|
| * Skills system -- modular prompts lawyers can pick and inject
| (summarize deposition, draft motion, extract key dates, Claude
| Skills, etc.)
|
| * Cloud drive sync -- bi-directional sync with Google Drive and
| OneDrive. Lawyers keep their existing file setup, we plug in and
| keep everything in sync
|
| * Outlook, Gmail, IMAP email integration -- connect your inbox,
| pull relevant emails directly into cases
|
| * Template multi-output generation -- one case, multiple
| documents generated in one flow
|
| * BYO AI provider -- user/workspace/admin level settings for AI
| models. Some firms want Azure, some want Anthropic, we let them
| choose
|
| * Canvas boards with AI context for visual case planning Stack:
| Next.js 16, FastAPI + LangGraph backend, Supabase.

|
| - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) -- A lightweight desktop HTTP

| (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post
| scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed,
| no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman
| without the bloat and login walls.
|
| - Mockingjay ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mockingjay-secure-
| recorder/id6... ) -- iOS app that records video and streams
| AES-256-GCM encrypted chunks to your Google Drive in real-time.
| By the time someone takes your phone, the footage is already safe
| in the cloud. Built for journalists, activists, and anyone who
| needs tamper-proof evidence. Features a duress PIN that wipes
| local keys while preserving cloud backups, and a fake sleep mode
| that makes the phone look powered off during recording.
|
| - Stao ( https://stao.app ) -- A simple sit/stand reminder for
| standing desk users. Runs in the system tray, tracks your
| streaks, zero setup. Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and
| Android.
|
| - MyVisualRoutine ( https://myvisualroutine.com ) -- This one is
| personal. I have three kids, two with severe disabilities. Visual
| schedules (laminated cards, velcro boards) are a lifeline for
| non-verbal children, but they're a nightmare to manage and they
| don't leave the house. So I built an app that lets you create a
| full visual routine in about 20 seconds and take it anywhere.
| Choice boards, First/Then boards, day plans, 50+ preloaded
| activities, works fully offline. Free tier is genuinely usable.
| Available on iOS and Android.

| AskUCP - UCP protocol explorer showing all products on Shopify
| (https://askucp.com/)
|
| On January 11th, Google and Shopify announced the Universal
| Commerce Protocol (ucp.dev). It's an open standard that lets any
| application query products across e-commerce platforms without
| needing APIs, integrations, or middlemen. AskUCP is one of the
| first applications built on it.
|
| Right now, if you want to buy something online, you have to know
| which store sells it. You go to Amazon, or you go to a Shopify
| store, or you go to Etsy. Each one has its own search, its own
| interface, its own checkout. The experience is fragmented because
| the infrastructure is siloed.
|
| UCP changes this at the protocol level. If products are described
| in a standard format, any application can discover them. You
| don't need permission from each platform. You don't need to build
| integrations. Anybody or any AI agent just querys the protocol.
|
| AskUCP is designed to be a single pane of glass into online
| commerce. You search once, and you see products from across the
| ecosystem. Currently, that means the entire Shopify catalog. As
| more platforms adopt UCP, their products become explorable too.
| Eventually, it should be everything.
|
| This is a proof of concept. It's early, and there are rough
| edges. Let me know what you think, refinements, ideas etc etc.

|
| 2. "Friend mode": You tell it a general goal, "I want to get

|
