✨ All happening over at usekosu.com. It’s still solidly in MVP territory, but it’s working!

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.

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 ✨

Wish I hadn’t maxed my Claude plan right before this.

Trying the $20 Codex plan – feels heavily throttled (as @steipete mentioned πŸ‘€)

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:
β€œ24 hours to launch a small bet.”

Instantly hit 100% Claude Code usage πŸ˜…

Kosu is a mindful content queue focused on engaging with meaningful content, featuring single queue management and visual fading.

Kosu (漉す)
verb. to strain; to filter.

Like filtering coffee – slow, intentional. What passes through is the good stuff. The rest fades away.

Personal Software | Matt Spear I built a habit tracker, a tab manager, a task board, and an AI assistant. None are products. They're personal software – and soon everyone will have their own.

What happens when anyone can build their own software?

Personal Software, tools for an audience of one, is reshaping how we think about product.

Wrote up my thoughts πŸ‘‡

Content Collections Transform your content into type-safe data collections.

Technically speaking, I'm using content-collections.dev along with a folder of .md files to manage the data. It's static, generated at build time, tracked in Git, and easy for an LLM to write!

πŸ“ I love sharing travel recommendations.

For a few years, I kept a simple list organised by city on my site.

✨ It was long overdue for a refresh, so I've updated it to include filtering by country, city, and tag.

βœ… Service is now restored.

In full transparency, I left a trial API key in the function call.

The 350+ questions asked are being reprocessed and will appear on the site soon. You can re-ask the exact question or visit the previous URL.

I hope to learn from this πŸ‘

Chart showing API queries to Ask WWDC ask endpoint, with the last 5th red with errors.

😱 The ask function on askwwdc.com was down for over 24 hours, and I wasn't even aware. I need to set up better alerts and uptime monitoring.

What are people using for this?
