I'm gonna be turning all projects of my email aliasing service into a monorepo. Cause I'm tired of constantly switching from project to project

My personal website is live: https://gcheseaux.ch
A CV in a word processor file became a bilingual site with a blog, generated PDF CVs, accessibility checks and a small build script. Built over a few evenings with Claude Code and Mistral Vibe, and every line reviewed by me.
The first blog post tells the whole story, including what I did not let AI do:

At Hacktoberfest, I got to see how tech is used to help people who aren't really developers. I got to hear two talks that help people who aren't really developers.
Evelyn built a RAG chatbot for council meeting docs. The PDFs were image-based, and you couldn't even select-copy the text. She ran them through OCR, converted the text, and fed the results into a chatbot. Now you can ask questions about anything discussed, and it pulls the answer. A great tool that helps communities stay informed when they can't make it to every city meeting.
Dave built OpenDayton.org (https://opendayton.org). It's an MPC server built on top of Dayton's open data. Housing calls, service calls, you name it. Raw datasets are intimidating, and most people don't know how to work with them, so he built a tool that handles them for you. You connect with your coding agent, ask a question, and it queries ArcGIS and runs SQL behind the scenes. Residents get answers without touching a CSV.
I came in with an open and curious mindset to see how civic tech can be used. I had a lot of fun and left with some Hacktoberfest swag, great conversations with other curious developers, and the intention to actually contribute code to a civic project this Hactoberfest.
If you're into civic tech and haven't gone to a local hackathon yet, go. It's worth it. What are you thinking about building or building that someone who isn't a developer could actually use?

Created a subreddit to share updates and get feedback. Lots of improvements this past week. I resisted expanding beyond Canadian English/French, because I knew how much work localization can be, but it was interesting once I got underway. #BuildInPublic

the other perks: higher API rate limits, office hours with anthropic's applied AI team, up to $45K in partner offers, and up to $100K extra credits if a partner VC backs you
fine print: credits expire 6 months after they're granted, and the free team year is only for orgs new to claude team

I had delayed Release 2.9 quite a bit, but I'm finally finishing up the work today! Below is the release page. It's mostly finished, and will update it one more time today once the last bits are done.

A reminder that repeats on the 31st. What should it do in February?
The 28th is easy. March is where it goes wrong, because if the reminder only remembers its last date, rather than the day you picked, it stays on the 28th for good. Mine did, until this week.
Catchlight now keeps the day you chose, so it runs 31 January, 28 February, 31 March, 30 April.
A yearly one set for 29 February 2028 does the same, the 28th for three years and the 29th again in 2032.

Anthropic Claude Founder House SF

I've started building the whole "business" flow and on the very first steps I've realised that it's a bit boring and I need something fun first. So achievements, streaks and some extra fun will arrive this week to Stackness (https://stackness.dev/) 😉 🎮

Day 2 of SF Tech Week. Here we go.
Morning walk past Salesforce Tower, headed to Anthropic's Founder House — right across the street from my building.
Today: an agents workshop and an investor panel with Lightspeed, Sequoia, and ICONIQ.

First it works, then it’s optimized. Don’t let perfection hold back your next big idea.

Got the AppStoreServerLibrary updated after some head scratching! Tomorrow night, let’s give deploying that a try to see if there are any more issues unblocking the regular upstreaming work. See you then!

I'm making a seasonal anime guide app, in the open for all to experience and learn from.
Another short stream, but let’s see if we can bring some dependencies up to date!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@oopsagain/117393743931726396
Finally @oopsagain is back with this awesome update 😍🙌🏻

You've been sending me so many messages about Oops Again. Feature ideas, little annoyances, "can you please add…" and a lot of "is it available in my language yet?" 🙏
I read every single one. And I listened.
So here it is: the biggest Oops Again update yet 🎉
A brand new lockscreen widget. Honestly, it's gorgeous. Your next birthday is right there every time you pick up your phone.

Today I'm the contributor 😋
I fixed an important memory leak in #grapesjs which is an upstream project to my baby @silex
#OpenSource is an amazing pile of libs and frameworks and software 👏🎉 🙌

🤖 Transformers.js v4.3 is here!
Ever wanted to run full AI models directly in the browser?
Now it's even easier.
The new update brings dependency-free support for structured outputs like JSON schemas. Perfect for client-side web apps!Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned web developer, this is worth checking out: https://bit.ly/4hQlpc6

Building an MCP server? Find out how long your client waits on a tool call. Mine gave up at 60 seconds, progress notifications or not.
My PageSpeed server's long checks all timed out, while the server carried on, finished, and posted the answer into a pipe nobody was reading any more.
The limit isn't in the protocol, so a server can't discover it. Long work now starts a job and hands back an id, collected by a tool that answers straight away.

One thing I’ve always wanted in more apps, so I added it to #Cue:
Move tools and navigation to where they work best for you — bottom, left, or right.
Different screen sizes, different ways of holding a device, different workflows. The most useful controls shouldn’t have to live in the same place for everyone.

Another thing. I wrote the Lyrics API already half a year ago. Finally I’m done.

I used to think I needed a clearer professional direction before building the voting app. Now I'm glad I gave it a limited trial.
I gave myself three months. Less than a month in, I wanted to keep going. Working on Voter Choice gave my concerns somewhere to go, even with the outcome uncertain.
My essay is about what I learned before the results arrived:

Hey mstdn.social 👋
I'm building Serpent API — search & AI data infrastructure for developers.
We cover: SERP data from 5 engines, AI citation monitoring (Gemini/ChatGPT/Perplexity/Claude), news search, local rank tracking, Reddit & X data.
If you build tools, track rankings, or think about what AI search means for the web — I'd love to connect.

Out of time, but it seems I have some Swift 6.4 and package dependency cleanup to do 😅 Tomorrow night, let’s see if we can get on official package versions as much as possible. See you then!

Cool. Daft Music now syncs your progress between iOS and macOS. You can now seamlessly switch and continue your playback.
It took me a bit, but it became possible after I completely rebuilt the playback engine to get rid of some MusicKit-related issues that were plaguing me for a long time.

Weisst du, woher das @ in deiner Mailadresse kommt?
Aus dem Weinhandel: 1536 kürzte ein Florentiner Kaufmann in Sevilla so die Amphore ab, ein Mass für Wein. 1971 trennte das Zeichen dann Person und Rechner. Und heute die Frage, wem deine Adresse gehört. — Signierte Werke: at-war-ein-weinmass-a.png sha256:99c47ad664dce6747ec7de6372f6ca2ac5e90f7797cad0e7c20c6386234f886f · at-war-ein-weinmass-b.png sha256:2d4457675dfc7bec9942ade0c140ec1884c066415cd833d32128e022b3b14a6f

Your patterns tell a story
One day doesn't tell you much.
But weeks and months of small choices can reveal patterns you didn't notice.
Edorena is being built with that longer view in mind.
Your activity becomes context, not just history.

I made a What’s New video for McKinley 1.3:
I didn’t talk about the performance improvements that were the main star of 1.3, because I couldn’t really figure out how to demo them! But I discussed the features and some fixes that went into 1.3 and 1.3.1.
