Brefast is free during early access. I'm actively building it and would love feedback from real users.
If you already know what you want to eat and just need a better way to organize it, give it a try.
👉 brefast.com
The workflow is simple:
1️⃣ Add products you actually buy
2️⃣ Combine them into meals
3️⃣ Drag meals into your week
Brefast calculates your daily macros automatically based on the targets you set.
The real tipping point? When my wife started following her own macro goals.
Same kitchen. Same grocery runs. Different needs. 🛒
Brefast lets us each plan independently while sharing our weekly plans, so we know what the other person needs. No more fridge surprises.
Here's what Brefast doesn't do:
❌ Tell you what to eat
❌ Track what you already ate
❌ Offer recipes or diet plans
❌ Judge your choices
It's not a diet app. It's an organizational tool for people who've already figured out their nutrition.
That's why I built Brefast. 👨💻
You add your products once. You build your meals from those products. Then you drag them into a weekly plan and see your macros at a glance.
No more starting from scratch. ✨
The issue wasn't ChatGPT. It was the lack of memory. 😶🌫️
I buy the same products every week. I eat variations of the same meals. My macro targets don't change that often.
Why was I re-explaining all of this every few days? 🤔
For months, I used ChatGPT to plan my meals. Describe my products, set my macro goals, and get a weekly plan. It worked surprisingly well.
Until I realized I was redoing the same thing every few days. From scratch. Every time.
So I built an app to fix it. 🧵
The full story is coming to my blog tomorrow. What it is, why I built it, and how you can try it. If that blurry, vague photo piqued your interest, subscribe to the newsletter, and you'll get it straight in your inbox. It's already scheduled. 📨

The hardest part wasn't building it. It was resisting the urge to keep adding features before letting anyone else see it. 😅
A side project that started as a personal frustration is slowly turning into something real. More on this very soon.
Been using Claude heavily lately and had no real sense of how much. Found usagebar.com through Reddit, and now I can see exactly where my usage goes. Turns out "just a quick question" adds up faster than expected.
$4.99. No subscription. Backs up iCloud without filling your disk.
Sometimes the best apps are the ones that just do one thing really well. 👌

The developer workflow evolution:
⌨️ 2014: Google → Stack Overflow → copy → paste → pray
✨ 2024: ChatGPT → paste → pray
The prayers haven't stopped. They just moved to a different altar.
Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄
Wishing you warmth, good food, and great company. And if you need a breather between plates, I wrote about something I've been quietly building this year. ☕

No plugin updates. No speed issues. No SEO guesswork.

🔥Hot take: Your to-do app is a better financial dashboard than most finance apps!
Finance apps show you where money went. Your to-do app shows you what's coming—right where you'll actually see it.
I wrote about the system that keeps me sane 👇

If you try it out, let me know how it goes! I'm always curious to hear how others improve their workflows. 🚀
If you use screenshots as part of your design, research, or documentation workflow, this tiny upgrade can save a surprising amount of time.
I wrote a quick step-by-step guide on how to set it up:
👉 www.tsamoudakis.com/automate-mac...
A recent example:
I was working on a big set of library changes in Figma and took a ton of screenshots to compare components afterward.
Since each screenshot was renamed automatically, I found everything I needed with just a quick file search! Honestly… it felt like magic. ✨
I set up a simple AI-powered automation that renames every screenshot based on what’s actually visible in the image.
❌ No manual cleanup.
❌ No guessing.
✅ Just clean, descriptive filenames that are instantly searchable.
Ever take a screenshot… then immediately lose it in a sea of “Screenshot 2025-02-18 at 14.22.19”? Yeah. Same here. 😏
As a designer, I rely on screenshots constantly, yet macOS gives them names that are basically useless.
So I fixed the problem with a little help from AI. 👇
Google Calendar has a hidden page that determines what actually appears in your third-party apps. Most people are unaware of its existence. 👀

😂 Laugh about it later
The worst travel days make the best stories—after you shower, sleep, and stop silently raging.
Pack some patience and an extra pair of underwear. You’ll need both.
📸 Build your case
If you're in the EU, you may be entitled to compensation under Regulation 261/2004.
Take photos of the delay board. Note the time.
It’s boring now, but future-you will love that €400 refund email.
😤 Stay calm
Travel chaos brings out the worst in people. Don’t be that person yelling at the poor gate agent.
They can’t fix your itinerary—but they can decide how much help you’re getting.
