  1. I made Blinkar: a native macOS menubar app for Blink home security cameras.

    Blink doesn't have a desktop client, so I built one: pure Swift, lives in your menu bar, polls for new clips in the background, and sends macOS notifications on motion.

    ✦ Quick-look popover for recent clips
    ✦ Full clip browser with per-camera filtering
    ✦ Arm/disarm networks, snooze notifications
    ✦ Bulk download
    ✦ 2FA support, Keychain-stored credentials

  2. Amazon's dropping some 'Prime Day' deals early: a pair of Blink Mini 2 cameras for $35. Great for 1080p, color night vision, and confusing your pets with two-way audio. Just budget for that *extra* subscription for person detection. What's the sneakiest 'hidden cost' you've seen in smart home tech?
