Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

Dion is one of the most underrated vocal talents of the mid-20th century. I just feel like that needed to be said.

Ok I know this out there, but a time traveler from the future left this book behind. Basically Biff with the sports almanac, except it’s a world history textbook from 2094 about the era we’re living through. Surreal. Not in a fun way. frankramblings.com/blog/2026/03...

The most unsettling part of finding a U.S. history textbook from 2094 would be seeing our current chaos explained with the clarity of hindsight.

I'm not a developer. This started with an idea: what if I could just see both timelines in one place? Thanks to Claude Code, that idea is now a reality. If you try it, I genuinely want to hear what you think. This is beta. Your feedback shapes what it becomes. testflight.apple.com/join/EhYZnjd2

I’ve been living in both Mastodon and Bluesky for a while, and the context switching finally broke me. So I built SocialFusion: a native iOS app that unifies both timelines in one feed. Public beta launches Thursday. Countdown + details: frankramblings.com/socialfusion

BREAKING Netflix says it is backing out of a bid to acquire Warner Brothers, which means David Ellison’s Paramount is likely to move forward as primary bidder and potentially take control of the company that owns Warner Bros., CNN, HBO, and a vast portfolio of film, tv, and streaming assets.

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.

So now, I can pair my podcasts with any music from my Plex library. And all it took was an hour and a couple of vibe coding tools. Since my podcast app of choice is Overcast, I decided to call my dinky little app Undercast 😜.

Dark splash screen for the iOS app “Undercast,” labeled “A Plex Music Client.” A blue house-shaped music icon appears above the app name. Below is text prompting the user to sign in and a large blue button labeled “Link Plex Account.” iOS status bar is visible at the top.

Undercast music library screen in dark mode showing the Albums tab. A grid of George Harrison album covers is visible, including “All Things Must Pass,” “Brainwashed,” “Cloud Nine,” and “The Concert for Bangladesh.” Bottom navigation shows Library, Playlists, Search, and Settings.

Now Playing screen in Undercast showing “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison from The Concert for Bangladesh. The album cover features a child seated on the ground framed by an arch. Playback controls, progress bar, and volume slider appear on a dark background.

I tweaked it for another 20 mins or so, giving Claude Code a few prompts to refine some details. I designed an app icon in Gemini with Nano Banana and installed it on my phone. Boom. Podcast background music.

Frank @frankramblings.com · 17/01/2026

I did some research with Perplexity and had it help me write up a spec for a basic SwiftUI audio player that uses the Plex API. I had Cursor flesh it out into a detailed plan. Then Claude Code took that plan and got to work building the app. 20 minutes later, I had a working prototype.

Frank @frankramblings.com · 17/01/2026

Sometimes I like a little background music to go with my podcasts. So that got me thinking. What if I wrote a music client that plays tracks from my Plex library using AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient so I can listen alongside my podcasts in Overcast?

Frank @frankramblings.com · 17/01/2026

So, uh. I wrote a whole iOS app in an hour last night. 😅

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

MANAGING MIDTERM EXPECTATIONS
The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency.
“It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

It’s early, and very much a work in progress. But it already feels nicer to use, which is usually my signal that something’s worth continuing. Almost ready for beta testers! Look out for a TestFlight link soon.

Nothing against existing bridges or apps. This is just me experimenting with a different direction. More opinionated about timelines: what’s shown, what’s not, and how much attention it asks for.

Context: I've never written an app before. I'm not a programmer, just a tech nerd. I’m vibe-coding it as an experiment, focusing on design, feel, and interaction first, and learning as I go.

This isn’t about replacing anything or declaring a “better” way. It’s just me exploring whether a calmer, more unified timeline can exist without feeling busy or overengineered.

I use Mastodon and Bluesky, but I’ve never loved that the people I follow are split across different apps. So I decided to try building my first iOS app to bring both of my feeds together.
