15th mth into bootstrapping. @thebluesocial is my 3rd product having worked on it for 12 mths. Still trying to find PMF

I use Reminders app as my (GTD-style) inbox, but saving pages/URLs to it via iOS share sheet saves the URL into the URL field which is inaccessible programmatically, so I made a simple Shortcut to saved the URL (and only the URL) into the Reminders text hboon.com/save-urls-to...
Save URLs to Apple Reminders the Right Way
If you save a URL to Apple Reminders — via the Share Sheet or Siri — it goes into the reminder’s URL field. This sounds fine until you try to do anything useful with it.

Never forget that coding agents like Claude Code, Droid and Codex are great at using tmux:
"My backend server is running in tmux 6.0 and it live-reloads".
"Run `pnpm run test:watch` in tmux 2.1 and fix errors."

Started @myog.social a month ago on Hetzner+Kamal and I'm liking it so far. It's cheaper than Render to start with, but I feel like there's freedom to explore things without being worried about cost exploding.
My concern is whether it can survive hw failure #buildinpublic

Adopting skills quite late; but it's good timing. Works in Claude Code, Droid and Codex now. Makes it easier to do "review+fix, commit, deploy when good". And it'll know what to do.
Sometimes you need to test something carefully, sometimes you don't.
