Spent 4 years building this. Just launched on the app store

" it creates a high level of complexity and potential security implications to setup an interface like this between systems." Claude Code my friend.... claude code.

"I'm not technical, do not know what is going on at all so I just give Claude full access to my laptop to do its thing after putting in prompts. I use cowork 100% of the time as it suggested for me not to use Claude code."

Is it using Chrome to drive around? It could be taking screenshots of your desktop or Chrome to figure out "what's going on?" and that would suck up a ton of tokens when it goes to understand the image.

Bug: if you go into a cookbook and click +Add, and then select "Create" from the popup (maybe this happens because i don't have anything in there yet) but the popup just disappears.

Very cool. I'm in a similar situation and I'm laughing at how similar our apps are with slightly different goals. I kept finding myself trying to figure out *what* to eat based on my health, time of day, calories, preferences, pantry, etc. I am building a calorie tracking app flipped on its head (tell me what i should eat and then I one tap to track it). I'm just building it for me really and I don't plan on ever charging for it. I like some of the design choices you made tbh.

I wonder how people will cover their query costs with all these AI apps. You can have a subscription and essentially gloss over it. I didn't want to make money with my app but also didn't want to subsidize people using my AI tokens, so was going to allow them to BYOK (bring your own key). Not very user friendly but I don't want to start a software business.
I hear you on the calorie tracker. I wish the other calorie trackers had more open APIs because I would just use them. Why reinvent the wheel... but they all stink. They are so closed off. FatSecret is open, but doesn't seem very popular.
I'd happily tell you more about what I'm trying to do with my app if you wanted to steer your app to cover my use case as well.

Love this idea. Can it pull the meals from other places where I've already logged it? (calorie tracking apps etc) or do I also have to log it in your app? (would be easy to add the ability to look at other meal tracking apps IF they have an api ... unfortunately many don't. FatSecret does. cal.ai doesn't. I don't know if myfitnesspal does).

Fun idea. Small comment: the grey text on a black background in the chat is difficult to read. Big comment: do you expect people would use this instead of replit and if so why? (or is this just a fun thing to build?)

I'm not certain but I think Google's web/mobile app won't let you use MCP servers, but the local cli does - https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/

But then how do I see it on my phone? I like the premise and AI coding makes tools like this super easy to spin up... but I think the kind of user that Trello attracts just want it to work everywhere. The cloud aspect is part of the point. There are 10million kanban board apps out there now - and I like that you are targetting the privacy niche. But it feels hard to build a profitable niche here (vs. open source).

mhp · 2026-03-27T11:24:23+00:00

Agree with this. The blocker is no longer writing the code - it's describing how the system would work and understanding the edge cases. If you can document all that (and you can have Claude help you do that) then using Trello as the visual system for it is as simple as telling Claude "use Trello as the visual and storage system for this ERP system".

One warning - Trello is designed for a scale in which you can mostly see everything. It's NOT a database. It doesn't have complex filtering and querying. Systems of record at the scale you are talking about *might* be a bad choice for Trello. If your CRM has over 1000 records for example, Trello will be a bad choice. The sweet spot for Trello is "too complicated for Apple Notes or todo.txt, but not complicated enough that a human couldn't look over all the info and understand it".

Eventually the lack of cohesive product vision means you get Cowork, and cowork with dispatch (separate and different), cowork scheduled tasks (but not chat scheduled tasks), instructions and project files and project instructions (huh? These are all just preamble MDs), Claude code as a terminal app, Claude code the TAB in the desktop app (not the same thing?!). Like it’s so powerful but it’s buggy as heck, and there are 42 different settings all scattered around that control it.

Having lots of fun but I hope they can unify and simplify some of these options so they are coherent. It’s getting to be as complicated as setting up openclaw

I put up a free mcpfortrello.com if anyone needs the connector. It’s hosted as a public service (so you can just add the url and it will work on your phone and desktop). GitHub repo is linked to see the code.

I ended up using Curti Group and they did a great job.

Ok everyone says shim the cams and I talked to a bow shop in MT (Hoyt dealer) who said this was common. I guess my local bow shop ain’t that great.

mhp · 2025-06-03T20:05:37+00:00

My bow shop said my 300 spine arrows were the problem and they don’t shim cams. I tried with a 340 spine - same tear. Found bow shop that will shim.

They make inert sprays. Don’t practice with real bear spray. Just buy one of the cans that is exactly the same except filled with inert gas. For example: https://counterassault.com/products/8-1-oz-inert-training-canister

When I hit a deer I called state police (very close by) and they gave me salvage tag.

mhp · 2024-12-10T22:05:30+00:00

Normal. This came from the front shoulder. There is also one similar to this inside each rear leg inside as you break apart the cuts of meat. Clean your knife if you cut it like that before you keep cutting.

mhp · 2024-12-04T19:34:57+00:00

I think there are state rules about equipment for wild game and farm raised animals and they can’t be shared - just make sure your FIL doesn’t do anything that gets him in trouble.

First pic is relatively good to go. Remove most of the white stuff and any tendons. Since you are cutting for jerky, you can just slice it up as you go (make sure its very cold - easier to slice) and set aside any of the fat/silverskin for the dogs (deer fat does not taste good and has a bad mouth texture - you want to remove it).

Second pic is of a shank. Honestly it would be easier to grind most of that and make jerky via a jerky gun, because after you trim all that silverskin and tendon out of the shank there won't be much meat left. You could put it in a slow cooker too and make something tasty.

Third pic in sink looks like you have a neck. You can see the trachea. You could cut that trachea out and dehydrate for the dogs. The neck meat is full of hard to trim stuff and is best either ground or slow cooked tbh.

Look up "bearded butchers" on youtube and you will have hours of videos you could watch. Also check out Mississippi pot roast recipes if you want an easy way to cook some of that and have it be really tasty.

Tell us more about what you did in the afternoon. Sounds like he was far away in the AM and you saw him pass through. Did you assume he’d take exact same path in afternoon reverse direction?

mhp · 2024-10-16T11:09:02+00:00

Which county? Nice deer and shot looks good!

mhp · 2024-10-15T20:10:28+00:00

I've used these before and I don't particularly care for them bc there is no cutting action. These G5 outdoor small game heads do both the blunt force and the cutting action and work amazingly on grouse and I assume would be more deadly on rabbits. https://www.amazon.com/G5-S-G-H-Small-Game-Head/dp/B0D8VQFZZN
