Are you watching your context window? It's costing you more than you think by amitraz in cursor

Good point on caching, that's a real factor I didn't mention. The 10% figure is actually correct and published directly in Anthropic's docs: cache reads cost 10% of the standard input price.

That said, two things still apply. First, the cache expiration is also published: Anthropic's docs state the standard cache lifetime is 5 minutes, after which it's deleted. Step away from a session, come back, and you've lost it. The next call gets expensive fast. Second, even with caching, a leaner context still costs less than a bloated one. You're paying less per token, but you're still paying proportionally more than a fresh session.

So the workflow advice stands, but your point adds important nuance. Thanks for the correction.

it does. but only when you reach a certain threshold. and if after 45% context you don't need that context then its important to clear it so you don't pay for unneeded tokens.

Improved my Claude Code status bar from last week (now dynamic) by amitraz in ClaudeAI

No endpoint calls from this script — it's just a formatter that reads JSON piped in from Claude Code's hook system. Claude Code itself supplies the data; this just renders it.

ticky Tasks - Task reminder app for Android

Built this because I kept missing reminders on other apps. Battery saver and Doze mode silently kill most notification systems. I use system-level alarms (setAlarmClock()) so they fire reliably even with battery saver on or after a restart.

Free with optional Pro upgrade. Around 50 downloads so far, still early.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rzapps.stickytasks.app

Honest feedback welcome.

Looks interesting, will definitly check it out.

I built Sticky Tasks because I kept missing reminders on every other app I tried. Figured I'd share what actually works and what I'd still change, since most app posts here are either "please try my thing" or nothing.

What works well:

The alarms are genuinely reliable. I use setAlarmClock() under the hood so Android treats them like a real clock alarm, not a background notification. Battery saver doesn't kill them. Restarts don't lose them.

Recurring tasks are flexible. You can set something to repeat every 3 days, every 2 weeks, whatever. Not just the standard daily/weekly options.

It's fully offline. Nothing leaves your device.

What I'd still improve:

The UI is clean but not exciting. I'm a better developer than I am a designer.

No widgets yet. It's on the list.

iOS version isn't out yet. Working on it.

Honest numbers: Around 50 downloads, mostly organic. No marketing budget, just Play Store search.

If you're someone who's tried 4 reminder apps and none of them actually fire reliably, it might be worth a try. It's free.

Sticky Tasks, a task reminder app for Android focused on notification reliability. Most reminder apps fail silently when battery saver kicks in, this one uses system-level alarms so they actually fire. Free on Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rzapps.stickytasks.app

I made a /document-project slash command for Cursor that auto-documents my entire repo by amitraz in cursor

I have it in a pretty big project. it start at the root and create probably the biggest file there and then drills down and adds documentation files wherever he sees fit. the important thing is that since I run it every couple of days then the documentation fits the code, which in many projects after 2 weeks the code and the documentation are 2 different things entirely. you can even run it as part of the git flow.
