Destroy Any Website - desktop only, sound on. Super clever; looks like they analyze the page into DOM-ish bits then put it all into a big canvas, and have a lot of fun doing it.

web app to desktop

Webapps are still an enormously powerful and egalitarian paradigm. 

I've been enjoying using my own webapp "Bubbler" for all my Todo needs. I "add to home page"ed it on my iPhone a while back and it feels and looks great. (The one challenge has been lack of a good offline mode, more on that later.) 

Anyway, it's asburdly easy to use Safari on Mac to make an appified-version of this webpage; I just went "File -> Add to Dock":


Claude helped with a few extremely minor details, but basically everything had been set when I had it help me with the mobile friendly version earlier. 

That's one of the interesting thing about using LLM to help code; stumbling over what's actually quite easy even though it looks a little hard. (The experienced coder has some advantages here, but sometimes the lack of assumptions a vibe coder brings to the table wins out. Beginner's Mind all around!)

ya bunch of tools

 Interesting seeing what tools AI Agents recommend.

(For my professional life, tool choice has often been from one particular architect champion on the team, combined with "what every one else was doing". For side projects, for reasons of sustainability and reducing the footprint of what I had to learn, I've tried to minimize the sheer number of things I use, a bit of "NIH syndrome".)
