Claude is down, I repeat, Claude is down!

spent the last few months building the fix. plain markdown files on disk, your agent maintains them across every conversation. no RAG, no vectors, no cloud.
npx meshnote init ./brain
meshnote.io
if you've ever opened claude code and thought "I wish this thing remembered what we figured out last week" you've already understood the core problem with LLM workflows.
the agent is brilliant for 20 minutes and amnesiac forever after.
nobody talks about this part. but it's the thing that makes or breaks whether the second brain actually works.
follow up to yesterday's post:
the second thing every serious LLM user builds is a cleanup script. because two weeks in, your wiki is full of duplicate facts and the agent starts contradicting itself.
someone in the replies called it the "cleanup loop." best name I've heard for it.
the whole loop:
npx meshnote init ./research
drop a paper in. tell claude "ingest this." come back to a summary, author pages, concept pages, all wikilinked into stuff you ingested last week.
no UI. no tags. you just read.
every time I watch a serious LLM user work, they end up building the same thing: a folder of markdown files and a claude md telling the AI how to maintain it.
karpathy did it. I did it twice. probably you too.
got tired of rebuilding it so I made it a product. meshnote.
POV: when you negotiate with claude
genuine question β anyone doing the Karpathy second brain thing in something other than Obsidian?
tried it twice now and I just don't enjoy using it
salesforce just added 30 AI features to slack
thirty.
slack was already the app where i go to feel overwhelmed by notifications i should have read yesterday
now it has an autonomous AI assistant too
congrats we've automated the anxiety
Small win but a huge milestone for me! This is just the beginning with Travo π

I did something financially irresponsible today π«‘
Still early, but this is the kind of signal I care about: better conversion, not vanity traffic.
Quiet reminder that ASO is often just CRO for app pages π
Small App Store tweaks, big difference.
In the last stretch, Travo yesterday went to:
β’ 83 first-time downloads (+246%)
β’ 2.72% conversion rate (+129%)
β’ 191 product page views (+194%)
β’ 4K impressions (+65%)
Travo is now live on OpenLaunch βοΈ
Iβm building a smarter way to explore citiesβno fluff, just useful travel insights in your pocket.
If you want to support early-stage products, Iβd appreciate your vote:

netflix just bought ben affleck's secret AI filmmaking startup for $600 million
16 employees. $600M.
that's $37.5 million per person.
meanwhile we're out here building SaaS products trying to hit $10k MRR
the worst part about being a solo founder isn't the work. it's having a great idea at 11pm and realizing the only person you can high-five is your dog. and she doesn't care π

84% of developers now use AI coding tools.
46% don't trust the output.
we automated the typing and kept all the thinking. that was always the point. the people treating it like a junior dev who needs code review are shipping π
favorite developer quote of 2026:
"I don't write bugs anymore. I just generate them faster."
my actual workflow in 2026:
1. write a spec in plain english before bed
2. my Al agent implements it overnight
3. review the PR with morning coffee
4. ship before lunch
I don't vibe code. I don't manually code. I manage a tiny engineering team that never sleeps and never asks for equityπ
friendly tip: clean your laptop at least once a year. just cleaned mine and i'm surprised i didn't find a rat living insideπ
new report: AI coding tools have doubled the rate of leaked secrets in code. 29 million credentials exposed on github last year.
we gave AI the ability to write code 10x faster and it turns out it also leaks API keys 10x faster.
nobody talks about this part of the productivity gain lol
someone asked me how travo's email import works so here it is:
1. you get a unique email address
2. forward your booking confirmation
3. AI reads it and adds it to your trip
4. that's it. works with any airline or hotel
The App Store isn't a quality filter. It's a toll booth. Crazy
Apple just blocked updates for vibe coding apps on the App Store.
Let me get this straight β the company that sells $3,500 headsets wants to gatekeep how people build software?
This isn't about code quality. It's about control. The moment AI lets anyone build apps without Xcode, Apple panics.
the amount of time i used to spend manually adding bookings to my trips was embarrassing. now i literally just forward the email and it's done. love this new feature in travo!
If you're running Next.js behind a reverse proxy, don't trust req.nextUrl.origin!
Debugged for hours why my visual editor's iframe worked locally but completely broke in production.
The issue? req.nextUrl.origin behind nginx returns localhost:3000 instead of your actual domain. My postMessage bridge was silently dropping every message.
