I co-founded a page builder for WordPress. Myself and my co-founders would joke about the "friends and family" problem. When friends or family asked us to help build their website, we usually pointed them away from our tool+WordPress for something simpler. It's nice to see more options out there that reduce the friction from someone with an idea to something published and sharable.

Several weeks ago, I got frustrated hitting the free tier limits on Netlify, and was looking for a self-hosted solution for this problem. I built it using a DO VPS and Caddy in the backend. It's free on Github. I was able to get the whole thing set up in an hour or two with the help of an agent. Feel free to give it a spin.

Yeah! I meant impressive more in the “big sturdy woodwork” sense, not lightweight. They had to hold a heavy mirror and still move smoothly enough to aim by hand. The Dobsonian design, plus Teflon on Formica bearings, made big aperture amateur telescopes way more accessible to hobbyists. From what I gathered it was definitely a “bigger is better” kind of thing, and weight seemed pretty secondary.

Love this. Thanks for sharing. My friend and I pulled an old Dobsonian telescope of my Dad's from the garage when we were teenagers. We spent hours and hours out with it under the stars, and on cloudy nights I would read a book about telescope construction. Back then, cabinet makers were building the most impressive wood frames. Interesting to see how the technology has changed.

I tend to wake up before my partner, and I can only imagine the look on her face when the ritualistic grinder noise gets joined by a noisy brewer.

In all seriousness, people tend to have a routine around coffee, but I think the Aeropress showed that people will change if the result is meaningfully better.

That's relatable. Sometimes I feel like my short attention span is well-tuned for this kind of workflow, bouncing between the different projects I'm working on and swapping between one or the other while waiting for an AI to complete a task. I also worry that it's exacerbating a bad habit and only going to further impede my ability to actually concentrate.

I think one of my favorite workflow hacks is to instruct the various harnesses to use the same format for writing handoffs, instructions, and context for me and for the next agent.

Instead of a Claude.md file, I have all my agents look for and use a generic, agents.md, file and a create/update a humans.md file throughout projects. Regardless of whether I'm using the CLI or a harness app, I almost always create a new folder for new projects, and I'll use subfolders for subprojects.

The humans.md file is for me so I can look at it and remember which harness I was using last. If this was a Claude project, a Codex project, or an OpenClaw project, etc. It also includes some human-readable details to bring me up to speed with the project context. I found this makes it a lot easier to switch models mid-project.

Before agentic coding went mainstream, one of my main use cases was creating sticker designs for concerts and music festivals. Creating the stickers and giving them away was a good way to meet new people.

I used OpenClaw to make a health and wellness coach agent that tracks calories and alcoholic drinks and logs it to a personal dashboard. I send it photos of my meals, and it will estimate the calories and log it. It will also help me make meal decisions and give me words of encouragement.

I used this HAM dashboard git repo to create a bespoke dashboard of different video and weather feeds from my area: https://github.com/VA3HDL/hamdashboard

I also, in the same rabbit hole, created a radio reference guide for the Sonoma County area: https://mybbor.com/petaluma-sonoma-ham-radio.html

I've spun up probably close to a dozen one-off or small websites for various little interests or projects. One of my favorites is a short domain file uploader that I can quickly host Markdown and HTML files to share with family, friends, and colleagues. It's using Caddy and running on a DO-VPS. I open sourced the code here: https://github.com/RobbyMcCullough/honeydrop

Hi! Love it. The sound effects are a great touch. :)

For the last few weeks, I've been running an agentically created AI design publication where each day's issue gets re-imagined in a new design direction. Today the agent used this post as inspiration and built the issue as a Windows 98 help viewer, a nice nod to the manuals in your training corpus.

I jumped in and added working minimize/maximize/close buttons, a draggable window, and a Start menu, because of course. Brought back memories of young me learning Visual Basic to make AOL add-ons.

This was helpful to hear. I added Slackmoji and encouraged my colleagues to use it liberally on me.
