I built a tiny macOS app that puts your MRR in the menu bar. Read-only Stripe sync or manual income, goals with pace projections, everything stored locally — no accounts. $9 one-time. judemakes.com/summer-money

macOS menu bar showing $12.4k, with the Summer Money popover open: MRR $12,400, ARR $148,800, +$600 this month, and an 83% progress bar toward a $15,000 MRR goal.

I’ve decided to shift the focus of Vorn a bit—from purely a speech transcription app to something that lets you interact with your tools more naturally. We’ll be launching Vorn Notes, which automatically saves notes to apps like Things and Obsidian. – Jude Building in public

Claude has really good models but something has to change. It is 1:00 not even during peak hours and we are having issues with Claude code and it won't even do simple things for me. Something needs to change, the models, infrastructure and or pricing. - Jude Building in Public

Had a bug where custom key-binds wouldn’t update from default. Claude and GPT-5.4 couldn’t fix it after a long time I thought might as well try good old GPT5.3 codex and it solved it instantly. Insane. - Jude Building in Public

This is what training with auto research does. Ran 40 tests overnight and these are the findings from the initial whisper tiny model to my new and improved model. Also remember these tests are running on a 10 year old server and are a lot faster on a mac book. - Jude Building in public

Working on adding some text polishing to vorn. This will automatically allow for vorn to remove filler words and polish up your transcription while keeping it as fast as possible. It will use qwen3.5 0.8b - Jude Building in Public

Running Auto Research by Kaparthy in Opencode Auto Research session running a fine tuning of a whisper tiny model for transcription. It will keep it at 90% accuracy and then it will get the inference speed down as much as possible. I want to see if I can get this better than whisper flow.

New idea for an ADE (Agentic) IDE: Instead of focusing on how many terminals fit on one screen, I want to focus on what matters the most the user input. Each terminal has a status bar showing what the agent is doing, so the user can see what every agent is working on and when help is needed.
