I've been working on something that I planned out two years ago. Software architecture is indeed a marathon, not a sprint! bit.ly/remote-plugin

Think outside the box - nut.js remote plugins - Blog

nut.js is designed to be extensible and this means it is no longer limited to local execution

This is a friendly reminder that you should listen to Rage Against The Machine again. It’s still an amazing band!

Ok, ollama3.3 is 42GB. Time to come through with my fiber connection order.

What’s an open source tool you absolutely value but at the same time is absolutely underfunded?

I’ll try to go @windsurfai.bsky.social only the next couple of weeks. So far, it’s really nice! 👍

Alright, milestone reached! It's almost time to record a demo video! #buildinpublic

I‘m all in for AI computer use and really like the way @anthropic.com is taking this. One thing I keep thinking about is how to apply this on a large scale and/or in on-prem scenarios. I might have a first step to solve this, so let’s start building! 💪 #buildinpublic

I’m absolutely impressed by mcp, I think this will really step things up for AI integrations!

Simon @s1hofmann.dev · 02/12/2024

@thedsp.bsky.social Is computer use essentially the same as mcp with Claude Sonnet 3.5, or is the underlying model different?

Simon @s1hofmann.dev · 02/12/2024

I played with the @anthropic.com model context protocol and allowed Claude Desktop to control my desktop! #buildinpublic #playingwithai youtu.be/sOUNLwnVLxM

I get the feeling that Claude with mcp is what management thought Cucumber and Gherkin would be. Generic base implementations and precise prompts allow for precise actions from natural language input. No glue code and regex patterns to do the right thing, actual natural language to describe a case.

Any recommendations video streaming applications built with Electron? #buildinpublic

Simon @s1hofmann.dev · 29/11/2024

It sounds strange, but as a Solo builder, it’s actually really nice to "discuss" design trade-offs with an AI colleague #buildinpublic

Simon @s1hofmann.dev · 28/11/2024

What if there was a way to expand AI tooling beyond your own system? #buildinpublic

I'm a sucker for proper setups, so here I am with my own handle @s1hofmann.dev!

Virtual machines are great for most stuff, but I’ve now repeatedly hit issues that where caused by the additional software layer. My pragmatic solution: Buy a used physical machine for my office. Not too expensive, great specs, saves an "old" device from being trashed! #buildinpublic

I'm starting to feel at home on this site. And I've been receiving fast amounts of spam on X, which sped up my move.

I'm not a morning person at all, but since we're back on standard time, my kids tend to get up somewhere between 4 and 6 in the morning. I used to think it was funny when my friends told me they fell asleep with their kids at 6 p.m., but now that seems to be my current normal. 🤷‍♂️

Well, I guess it’s time to make an entrance here. Hi, I’m Simon! I’m from a small village in southern Germany and I’m running a company that’s building a desktop automation framework called nutjs.dev 👋
