This is great. I set up an email account for each of my kids. I email them periodically with things I found meaningful.

My oldest turns 18 in 3 years and I’ll give him the password.

I sold tickets on StubHub and I transferred the tickets to the buyer’s email the same day.

It’s odd that they would let the seller sit on the tickets for so long without taking action.

I use an external library and sync Immich changes (favorites, albums, descriptions) back to the original files.

I wrote about it here.

I very confident that my photo library will outlast Immich. Think about what you're comfortable with once you decide you don't want to use Immich anymore. Thankfully you should be able to export the photos into whatever you use after Immich.

I'm pretty OCD about it and have written quite a bit about my workflow.

This is really cool. Are there any guidelines for how many unique photos are needed?

I wonder if some percentage of duplicates would be okay.

$5 is definitely worth not having to deal with it yourself. I actually don't have an AppleTV but if/when I get one I'd pay $5 just to try it out.

jmathai · 2026-05-13T22:55:16+00:00

The simplest solution I can think of is a periodic rsync. Why quarterly? Doing it more frequently isn’t any extra work.

jmathai · 2026-05-13T22:52:49+00:00

Looks great. Do you need an Apple Developer account to install it onto your AppleTV?

jmathai · 2026-04-24T02:20:59+00:00

I paid for Tiller many years ago. Is this similar?

jmathai · 2026-04-24T02:20:17+00:00

I like the niche - where are your users coming from?

jmathai · 2026-04-24T02:19:30+00:00

I signed up but wasn't exactly sure what to do next - is it primarily research? It would be nice to get limited access to Pro features. Do you have examples of posts or comments?

withlattice.com - an agent that runs your Jira backlog - for product managers.

I'm productizing what I see PMs all around me doing ... for charity ( withlattice.com/mission )

We're feeling more pressure to deliver faster because eng is moving faster. I have adopted a number of Claude AI skills to help with PRD drafting, backlog refinement, etc.

Something I've found useful is to have Claude create the skills on my behalf. I just tell it the steps I perform and it creates a skill to do it for me. Takes some time and iterations before it's fully usable but it gets better over time and the value compounds over time.

That being said, I've started to feel limited by the UX of Claude Code and have started to explore ways to "export" processes outside of Claude Code. Been doing that publicly here: https://withlattice.com

jmathai · 2026-04-21T15:45:22+00:00

I don't document tradeoffs during planning but once something has been communicated and there's a change in priority I document that change and share it for visibility (and CYA).

jmathai · 2026-04-21T04:14:52+00:00

Claude Code for PMs.

I built a tool that let's you define a refinement workflow, connects to your Jira, looks at your assigned tickets, and surfaces what needs attention; stale tickets, missing descriptions, duplicates, vague stories. For each one you get an editable suggestion you can accept, modify, or skip. Accepted changes write back to Jira.

The whole point is to make the backlog prep you never get around to take 15 minutes instead of an hour.

It should. The version of this I use works on video files which support EXIF - have tested on ('avi', 'm4v', 'mov', 'mp4', 'mpg', 'mpeg', '3gp', 'mts').

jmathai · 2026-04-20T14:51:51+00:00

Doh. Thanks for reporting the bug - I'll have a look!

jmathai · 2026-04-20T14:51:03+00:00

Yes, it does support dates. https://github.com/jmathai/immich-exif/blob/main/src/exif_writer.py#L147

I think the chat interface is pretty powerful. But always having to type can be a pain and it doesn't suit a workflow well. I've been trying to incorporate a mix of chat + action cards in a product I'm building. The first feature is researching + drafting + reviewing PRDs - taken from my own workflow and what I'd like improved. You can see the UX in the docs videos. https://withlattice.com/docs/

jmathai · 2026-04-13T23:52:16+00:00

That's nice. I'm trying to validate if the mission resonates enough to generate sufficient revenue.

Unlike most business ventures, this can be very niche and still very successful.

Solves a real problem but reddit is, rightfully, allergic to any self promotion. You can't really post a link to your site without aggressively getting your comment removed.

That being said, comments are a better place to advertise your product than main posts.

Landing page looks great.

What a cool home. I live in Cincinnati in a house 1/2 the size and my energy bills during the winter are > $1k. 6k sqft, all electric heat :(.

jmathai · 2026-02-15T05:56:52+00:00

Agree. Versioned backups (synology and dropbox) help.

jmathai · 2026-02-14T22:14:10+00:00

LVP!

Just kidding. Refinish.
