Astra is so dumb now. I cant believe the mistakes it makes even in non code tasks. It gets side tracked, and completely loses focus on the actual outcome.
The reflection, whilst pretty, really bugs me. In the same way the YouTube app does by extending the video’s colors into the black bars. I want focus on the content.
This is so amazing, it makes you suddenly realize the issues with all of the current voice models. So excited for more breakthroughs like this, especially in local AI.
Meet Dessa, our AI model trained from scratch on nothing but speech.
We believe speech is the natural interface for technology. So we built Dessa.
And we’re inviting AI safety researchers to explore Dessa.

So many little things here that really add up, amazing job!
Today we rolled out a refined new look for the @claudeai app! Was a blast to work on this with a few of our talented product designers, from sketch to launch in under 3 weeks with the help of Claude and our design system ✨ let us know if you have any feedback!

I’m so happy it’s a standalone app. These guys get it.
People say normies won’t build their own software with AI, well it allowed my wife to make a game she’s wanted for years!
Got bored waiting… so this 34 year old mum made her own version of bomb tag for mobile and steam. Who wants to test it? #gamedev 💣 🚗
So lately Claude seems better at listening to my voice than Wispr. Have people started making their own? Would love to know if it’s time I do the same.
Manage your iOS and Android apps in one app. As far as I know this is the ONLY app that lets you avoid the nightmare of Google Play Console.
- Easily switch between the iOS and Android store listings.
- See a notification feed of all the build, review, and release activity.
- View data from ASC and GPC that you probably haven't seen before.

Do you use the native Apple Calendar app? Well here's a free thing I made for it. calibar.app
WOW! Google Play Console just got a design refresh and it's actually much better, but still not even close to shipthimble.com. Ship your Android apps from anywhere with ease!
AI raises the floor. I don't think enough people realise just how bad the design landscape in tech is. Baseline AI slop (especially Opus 5.5) is on average much better than most tech people interact with.
Ok so I did the TV hack thing…
What started as a very conservative exploration has led to a fully custom home launcher with layouts, backgrounds, material choices and lots of customisation available.
I no longer have to deal with Samsung Smart Hub nonsense.
It's already live and working but now in a massive refinement pass thats been running while I'm in meetings.
Just know that if you buy an Analogue product they will at some point bring out another variant of the same product. This time it worked out for me as I missed out on the first Super.

The “sometimes here sometimes there” phrase is a great way to put it. I’ve wanted a folding iPhone since I saw the very first folding Android device, but coding for the Duo has put me off it big time.
