This is your weekly reminder to π do π the π thing...
I finished and settled on the Kosu logo over two weeks ago, but I didnβt ship it.
Sorted it out today.
Whatβs one thing youβve been avoiding?
#buildinpublic
The model testing is...
I run a weekly cron to check for meetups in the city that Iβm in β currently Da Nang, Vietnam π»π³
Struggles to find any... thatβs ok. Opus normally picks up some.
Kimi K2.5: Consider flying to Bangkok; itβs only 2h away π
Check out the new DMG installer / update support:
mattspear.gumroad.com/l/peekapp
Finally tried out amore.computer yesterday β it helps me distribute macOS apps outside the App Store.
It makes it so easy β handling updates, DMGs, notarisation, and hosting the download files.
Shout out @lucaslovexoxo for building such a high-quality service!
Genuinely use this every day to keep on top of my API costs.
π If there's interest, I definitely could do with Anthropic + more providers next..
5 free download codes, first come first served:

v1.3 adds support for admin API keys β one time setup, no more expiring session tokens:
apps.apple.com/gb/app/peek...
Finally shipping an update to Peek β a menubar app to track your @OpenAI API usage.
I need to get better at building in public. This was ready 2 weeks ago and I just... didn't share it.
Free download codes in the thread π
Trying out @FireworksAI_HQ's new π₯ Fire Pass:
- $7/week
- Kimi K2.5 Turbo (for now)
- Unlimited tokens!?
Using it with @opencode + @openclaw β the speed is wild. So used to Anthropic that I'm genuinely struggling to keep up with Kimi's output.
Sunday locked in vibes π―

If any of you are still playing with @ghuntley.com's ralph loops: worth noting that Claude Code now reads/writes to memory, which breaks the pure philosophy of AGENTS.md + specs/* as the source of truth
Set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1 as an env var when calling claude in your loop script!
Itβs 2026, and you still canβt consistently set a timer with your voice. βHey Siriβ was 2011.
β¨ All happening over at usekosu.com. Itβs still solidly in MVP territory, but itβs working!
A user interface design features variations of an "Archive" button alongside other navigation options, illustrating different states.
Content queue titled "Kosu" displays three items, featuring videos and articles focused on technology and entrepreneurship.
I love sketching prototypes in @excalidraw, then handing them over to Claude to mock up on a separate page, refine, and roll back into the product.
Yesterday I added this subtle progress bar to the Archive button alongside the fading logic.
usekosu.com β let me know your feedback β¨
Interface showing a queue of user-submitted links with topics on startups, AI development, living costs, and design processes.
π¦ Kosu now enriches tweets with the X API, giving you the full context at a glance!
If you can't wait: usekosu.com
The interface displays a queue for video content with various titles, durations, and options to mark them as done or archive.
I said I'd intro Kosu, I'm still working on it, and really want the v1 to be complete.
Been working on the fading feature today β¨
Kosu: usekuso.com
A queue interface displays titles of videos and articles, showing durations and options to archive or mark as done.
24h micro-SaaS challenge (ran a bit over π
): shipped Kosu.
Definitely want to do this again.
Proper intro tomorrow. Link in reply

coffee

breakfast
β
now building with a proper plan
Will share the product soon.
Wish I hadnβt maxed my Claude plan right before this.
Trying the $20 Codex plan β feels heavily throttled (as @steipete mentioned π)
First 3 hours:
- researched
- bought domains (usekosu.com)
- bootstrapped T3 stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Drizzle, PlanetScale, Clerk)
- shipped the landing page
Went to bed around 6am.
Probably not the healthiest workflow, but right now I need to ship small bets.
I started at 2:30am on a whim:
β24 hours to launch a small bet.β
Instantly hit 100% Claude Code usage π
Kosu is a mindful content queue focused on engaging with meaningful content, featuring single queue management and visual fading.
T-minus 12 hours.
usekosu.com
Kosu (ζΌγ)
verb. to strain; to filter.
Like filtering coffee β slow, intentional. What passes through is the good stuff. The rest fades away.
