finally updated the MeetingDebrief website to do its latest version justice, including a demo video. 😊 dictations, meeting transcriptions, summaries, action items, chatting with transcripts - all on your own computer.. *without* a subscription. meetingdebrief.com/

cloudflare is so great at individual features, but sometimes it's so dumb across it's portfolio..it feels like different companies in the same console they would go so hard on user happiness if they had a dedicated cross-feature team to make sure everything is integrated ...1/2

I really don't like how codex is now intercepting copying text from the terminal and messes with the formatting it used to copy the bullet points - those are in the actual output why does it need to control how you copy?

both Google and Firefox reviews publishes extensions within 20-30minutes, pretty amazing given the number of extensions ..while Apple takes 3-4 days if you're lucky 🫠

self-hosting on VPSes or dedicated servers is great for your wallet but you have to be prepared to handle incidents when something runs out of memory ..early sunday morning. 🫠

in the last couple of months, there's been a flood of websites asking for connections to local apps or devices if you're tired of denying them, disable that prompt entirely on: `chrome://settings/content/loopbackNetwork` (or brave:// - etc) which disabled the popup entirely

new in HackUtilities: it auto strips leading spaces when you copy text from agents solved one of my pet peeves: 2 leading spaces in every git commit...but not anymore 😊

I'm on a fiber connection with ~500Mbit and decent pings yet youtube always auto selects 360p for videos that have tutorials in them, making them unwatchable until I select a higher quality manually I don't get why it does this and how I can fix it, anyone have the same?

it's baffling to see Astra is still so dumb I asked it for a tag form input, which let's you type to search for tags and apply them as a filter ..and it wrote a recursive watcher loop crashing the browser 🫠 gpt-6-astra high btw.

2 weeks of work, dozens of prototypes, 100s of prompts, all to save MuteDeckers ~1,2s each mute toggle - it's almost instant now, and Teams no longer has to come to the foreground 😊 Teams is so badly architected, making this so hard, but in the end it's worth it just look at the speed of this:

a few friends on the HackUtilities app didn't like the way I designed it, so Fable added a bunch of themes in no time the original design is rather loud, on purpose, so I understand the need for personalization architect your app correctly (components, views, etc) to make these changes a breeze

I think I'm going to name the next MuteDeck release "speedy gonzales" as toggling mute/video/etc is going to be ~20x faster, status updates ~2x faster, scanning Zoom/Teams is ~7x faster all while using less resources 👍

in pursuit of simplification and having to do less: the MuteDeck mobile app is going to have a 1-click pairing approval process, not even having to scan the QR code 😊 auto discovers the desktop app in the same network, asks to pair and a code alignment does the rest

this was such a perfect saas; did 1 thing, did it very well but it's another perfect example of what happens when big corp buys small apps... integrate the tech into a massive app - so it takes forever to find where it is - and screw over existing users (they're just expiring credits)

a side-effect of having a public desktop application directory on WhatPulse, is that sometimes there's a DMCA notice. very rare, so it isn't a problem they're always misdirected though, a lot of copy-right scrapers only look for app names and not make sure it offers a download.. 1/2

Gitbutler + Github stacked PRs might've unlocked a better workflow for working on multiple in the same worktree (or no worktrees) - function 1 work, commit, start CI + review - parallel start function 2 work, commit to same lane, diff branch, repeat CI/review - after review, merge in 1 stack

the MuteDeck Mobile app is finally in open testing! 🥳 it turns your phone into a meeting remote (just like a Stream Deck), with mute, camera, share, record, leave buttons at your finger tips if you want to give it a go, be on MuteDeck v4.9.4 or above, and follow the links and steps below 👇

did a pretty big screwup in WhatPulse 6.3 with the new tray menu the thought: quick way to check stats without opening the entire app the execution: overlooked accessibility labels and people needing to use voice over can't open the app the lesson: hardcode accessibility rules in QA

jumped on the everything-app bandwagon for my dev tooling been working on HackUtilities for 1,5 year or so and it's got every small tool I need, from data processing to image conversions added projects with agents, terminals and processes this week, really enjoying having everything in 1 place 🙂

my customer support portal (Chatwoot) is inundated with spam and outreach. Spam filters usually don't work for outreach, or you need to get creative with rules but these days, you can just build a solution for it in an hour or so. 😊 1/2
