For the last few days I've been beavering away on a microsite I've had in the back of my mind for a while now: the fitIQ games. I'm delighted to say I shipped it last night, in time for 1st Dec.

Its hello world post could do with some Reddit love, if you can spare it: www.reddit.com/r/whoop/comm...

After almost 3 years using the platform for tens of different products, I've just created and called my first Supabase RPC function.

Ah, status pages. The greatest lies ever told.

Supabase is most definitely down. Happy Monday everyone!

Black Friday deals are now live on both DeskVault.app and BlueskyInbox.com - use BF2025 to get 30% off either or both 💰

Looks like it's my bsky bday - Happy Birthday to me! 🥳

I've got Black Friday offers on both DeskVault and Bluesky Inbox, and I've put some serious work into both products recently.

Aside from Tony Dinh and Dan Mindru's GitHub repos, where else should I be listing them? All help very much appreciated!

By the way, you can get an early Black Friday deal on a perpetual Bluesky Inbox license - 30% off with code 'BF2025'

It's an absolute BARGAIN

Bluesky Inbox now works on mobile!

Go take a peek at blueskyinbox.com and let me know about all the awful things that are still probably broken

I finally got around to implementing a feature which has been 'coming soon' for 6+ months...

My current gym routine:

1. look menacingly at some weights
2. bark orders at claude.ai/code between sets
3. get home and check out the branch from (2)
4. get Claude Code (on my computer) to review the branch against main
5. shower (sometimes)
6. ship

btw, if this DM notification is real, and not just a meta-notification about the fact I apparently need to verify my age in order to *keep* using DMs... then I'm really sorry to whoever it is who's been waiting months for a reply. I'm not ignoring you. At least, I'm not ignoring you on purpose.

I still don't believe there has ever been a better trance mix ever recorded on earth (possibly within the entire universe) as Tiesto's Trance Energy 2000: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQYn...

Damn, to have been there on that New Year's Eve in 1999...

Speaking of blueskyinbox.com, you can now selectively mute notifications for individual search terms, rather than having to globally enable/disable notifications when they get a bit too much.

Still only $19 one-time. Absolute steal.
November 11, 2025 at 2:57 PM
Woops. Why didn't anybody tell me my changelog dates on blueskyinbox.com were off by a whole year? 😳

The DeskVault alpha period has officially closed - thank you to all the ultra early adopters!

Beta testing starts today: the price has gone up to $49 but that's still a whopping $50 off the planned launch price for a lifetime license. Grab it today at DeskVault.app - any/all feedback appreciated 🫡

DeskVault 0.3.0 for macOS now tracks MRR / ARR across each and *all* of your Stripe accounts. Still only $29 one-off, still fast, still private. Ridiculous value.

Claude code for web:

- connects directly to your GitHub repositories
- creates a sandboxed environment in which to conduct its work
- lets you open a PR once it has finished

Working totally "blind" isn't going to fit a lot of the time, but for some smaller tasks, this could be awesome.

Oh Claude, what have you learned from us...
