TIL you can type ! in claude code to execute shell commands directly and then keep working with the results
previously I just opened another tab and copy pasted everything like back and forth
best part? spin it up from anywhere, let it work while you do other stuff
this is where development is heading currently
@cursor_ai cloud agents are wild
you literally spin up a VM, tell it what to build, and watch it:
- open browsers
- click around
- run tests
- record everything
- debug itself
first agent walks you through setup and gets everything running without you lifting a finger
what are your experiences with @convex? How fast did you hit the limits of the free tier and what is possible with the 25 dollar plan?

This release tightens the planning loop on macOS: a reliable Cmd-_ quick add flow, Monday-based week views, cleaner rescheduling, better calendar onboarding, preserved subtasks on reload, and clearer list color picking.
I introduced some bugs with the latests changes and focusing on fixing them
today-md v1.7.6.
told hermes my openai-codex subscription wasn't working
hermes, say no more ... 🤦♂️
looks like they just waited until I bought my Mac Studio so I could go all in on local models
let's see how Gemma 4 performs
I'm not sure if I fell into the local agent trap, but I'm very bullish on local models and autonomous agent frameworks like OpenClaw or Hermes Agent
Let's see what an M4 Max is capable of
mixed feelings out there about them but I'm starting to enjoy it
normally you can only work on one branch at a time. need to switch for a hotfix? gotta stash or commit first.
worktrees skip that entirely
this feature has been around forever but nobody really used it until agentic coding came up and you could let AI work on multiple parallel tasks locally
TIL what Hand off actually does 😅
a few days ago I was stuck in a PR, wanted to start a parallel feature but had no clue how to create a worktree
Hand off does exactly this
Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches at once in separate directories. all linked to the same repo.
I guess it works good for smaller step by step changes
tried SwiftUI Plugins to give today-md that Liquid Glass look
results were... absolutely terrible 🤣
sticking with the old design

more flexible than basic app hosting, but much simpler than a big multi--node Kubernetes setup.
Also when I have a new app I prompt AI to deploy it, it creates all the files runs the scripts and deploys the app.
- GitHub Actions for build and deploy
- Prometheus + Grafana for metrics
- Loki for logs
- Uptime Kuma for monitoring
- Plausible for analytics
- Backups and small automation scripts for secrets and maintenance
For me, Hetzner + K3s + Helm is a really good middle ground:
What I like about this setup is that it stays simple but still feels production-ready. It gives me control over the full stack without adding too much complexity.
It includes:
- K3s on Hetzner
- Helm for app deployments
- Traefik for routing
- cert-manager for TLS
I run a hardened Ubuntu server on Hetzner with a single-node K3s cluster. I use Traefik for ingress, cert-manager for automatic HTTPS, and Helm to deploy my apps. Most of the apps are Next.js apps, built into Docker images, pushed to GHCR, and deployed with shared Helm configs.
I’ve been building my own small cloud setup on Hetzner instead of using managed hosting for everything.
The setup is pretty simple:

- better calendar visibility controls
- clearer active calendar selection
- improved & intelligent scheduling and unscheduling behavior
- smoother inline event deletion flow
The goal is simple: fewer clicks, less friction, and a better bridge between - task planning and real time on the calendar.
today-md v1.7.3 release is out
Right now, calendar support works through the native Calendar app on Mac, which means connected iCloud, Google, Outlook, and Exchange calendars show up there first.
This release tightens up the calendar workflow:
having live preview helped a lot. could immediately feel how the interaction behaved and adjust fast until it felt natural
what looks simple took a lot of thinking through flow, edge cases, how every state should feel when a task is moved. AI speeds things up but still takes your own taste, product sense, UX judgment to make it feel right
shipped first version of the calendar planning feature
the challenge wasn't the logic but getting UX and UI right, thinking through the full flow, edge cases, UI behavior behind every move
auto adjusts lanes when tasks move between Today, This Week, Next Week
there are some subscription apps and also some which do the exact same, but again here I will build around my day to day work and use cases and can adjust it fully to my needs
building the next productivity tool
everyone types, then lets AI fix grammar
I just want to speak
AI transcribes and corrects in real-time = more output, same time
of course native mac app with local LLMs for security and compliance
