Productive day

I've never been so excited about a new project. This is going to be sick

The best visuals

Can you guess my new project?

Hot take: The zoom/pan recordings (popularized by Screen Studio) need to stop.

Just record a smaller window/crop.

March recap for Yaak

💹 MRR: $3,581 (+53%)
💰 Revenue: $18,867 (+127%)
💼 Subscribers: 430 (+3%)

Revenue still going strong from lifetime plans. MRR got a huge spike from two big teams closing (81 seats and 63 seats)

Feels like things are finally clicking 🚀

How do y'all work on multiple projects at once in your desktop environment?

I'm currently using macOS Spaces (1 per project) with the app Contexts to make Cmd+Tab only show windows from the current Space.

Any better ideas out there?

Might be alright then, depending if you notice the blooming at all. Easy to return, at least

I'm returning the Studio Display XDR.

- Blooming from the LED backlight is very obvious
- Nanotexture makes everything blurry (not just an XDR problem).
- M1 Pro can only do 60hz

"Upgraded" from my LG 5k for Linux compat, so I'm exchanging for a regular-glass Studio Display.

New Linux box 🐧

Why can't I add a "friendly name" to my payment methods?

I think I've only ever seen one platform do this.

I'm always hitting the limits of my current machine. Mostly in memory and storage, but cpu improvement would also be noticeable

True. I just don't enjoy maintaining multiple computers. It's already bad enough with my Mac+Linux+Windows dev setups.

I'm mostly docked but work outside quite a bit in the summer. And also always bring my laptop when I travel.

Incremental builds are 5-10 seconds for rust app and ~3s for my Go web server.

Ya, I don't really care about oled. It actually seems like it could be a downgrade over the already amazing mini led. Plus I'm docked 90% of the time.

Should I upgrade my M1 Pro MacBook Pro (32GB) to M5 Pro (64 GB)?

I write Rust and Go so the CPU/RAM upgrade *should* be meaningful, but looking to hear from people who actually made the switch.

The setup

"Inching" doesn't quite describe what's happening 😅

99% family household expenses.

I quit my job in May 2024, almost two years ago.

I've spent $143k of my savings, trying to make this work.

Last month was the first time my bank balance didn't drop.

LFG

Achievement unlocked!

I have access to both Claude and Codex free, for the next 6 months.

Thanks y'all 🙏🏼

Huh, monospace UI font is actually nice.

(Change fonts in Settings > Interface)

Yes... "team" 😅

Nah, lots of bloopers all the time. Still really useful but I have to really guide it lately. Codex is the same.

Thanks!

AI is still dumb as rocks. We're safe for another six months.

Today...

Today is a good day ✨

70-seat customer is a new record, by far (previous 34)

Me: Gets free 6mo of Claude (OSS deal)
Me: Still paying $200 for Codex because of this shit
