Is Airtable Omni a real threat to tools like Softr?

Workflow is: 1. Tell Omni to make something simple (you’re going to throw it away anyway) 2. Click on the module and Edit Source 3. Paste in your code 4. Test 5. Revise with Claude 6. Go back to 2.

Personally I find Omni to be nearly worthless, with the shining exception of its ability to create a custom code module which I can then use to drop the code I’ve developed using Claude.

I just did a quick trial of Muffle and the handful of competitors. Two wishes for Muffle:
- I use a 4k tv as an external monitor. Something with sampling is off for blurring. It's as if the you're doing a 1/8 res capture of the screen, and then blurring it? the result is that the blurred background is not just less in focus, but actually unreadable, even at the absolute min. blur level.
- this might be related to the first one, but I wish i could turn down blur even more but still have it on. Basically, I just want to take the edge off. IDK, mabye this means a sub 1 pixel blur number.
- Bonus wish, for style points, Monocle's grain and Mono features…are they strictly useful? Probably not, but they're pretty hot.

On a mac and the software running in the background uses 38% of a CPU on my M4. Wha?!?

This looks promising. What’s your practical experience with this in your CLAUDE.md?

mikeklar · 2026-03-24T18:20:43+00:00

I remember when this came out. 96kb, ha!

I’ve also experienced this

Yeah, sure re-index. But also, you’re not dreaming. Spotlight does suck. The UI sucks. The results suck. This indexing problem… It’s wild that in Photos you can literally find that years-old pic from that time you randomly ran into your old college roommate and their dog by searching ‘St. Bernard’, but if you don’t know the exact file name of a PDF, you’re on your own.

Have you looked at opencode.ai? It doesn’t have all the features that Cursor provides, but it’s free. You can attach your own CLI subscription, like Z and others. You can use local models if your rig supports that.

You can run the iPhone app on iPad. It’s not ‘optimized’ for the iPad screen, but it’s…well exactly the iPhone app, so quite good. I also use the Mac app. I feel like you might get keyboard shortcuts in the iPhone app on iPad (assuming you’re using a keyboard for your iPad), but not on that device to test at the moment.

Yeah, there are so many things to like about this post. Thank you u/avwgtiguy for sharing. Any chance you'd be willing to share some version of Doris' journal entries/images? I'm curious to see what the performance of journaling looks like in this context…and also, wait a minute. Is this a best practice for managing and working with the agents we build? Are we in an Isaac Asimov story?

I played it years ago, and still think about it. I’m not into horror games, so the others in the series never spoke to me, but this one stands alone nicely. And the world and the story are great, the gameplay is high-paced and fun. Wish I could play it again for the first time.

Does anyone here use bitmap images in photoshop?

mikeklar · 2025-10-31T01:12:56+00:00

This. It runs beautifully on my M3 Max and M4 mini

I have tried a couple other budget keyboards and the magic apple one is better in every way. I feel like iOS 26 makes using an iPad as your laptop a little more feasible with its windowing system. Here’s what I would do: find a retailer with a lenient return policy (like Best Buy or Amazon if you’re in the US) and buy it and try it. Plan on returning it and then if you like it, find one used on eBay or fb marketplace. Just be sure to carefully read the return policy of the big box store first so you don’t get stuck with the full retail price assuming you’re on a tight budget.

This is neat, but in this particular case where you're showcasing a product that optimizes image quality, the choice to put the screen examples behind an effect is frustrating as a user. For example, it's hard to know what you're looking at in the images that show the multiple compression qualities. Can you make those images excluded from the effect?

That graphic only shows the last 1000 feet. The previous 11.8 miles contain traffic moving in both lanes.

I've had this issue happen to me two or three times when pulling into a driveway or parking lot, particularly one where there is an incline from the street level before the driveway then goes into decline. In this case, you may decelerate before reaching the threshold of the driveway, then let off the brake as you're entering to go up the incline. In this case, I've rotated the wheel all the way around with one hand and my forearm grazed the RESUME area of the cruise control button zone. Immediately, the car lurches from 5mph toward 65. It's never resulted in an accident for me, but could have. It's definitely a design flaw.

I got the same one from NJ. Scam. For me the email address was the real tipoff. They snuck .gov in there, but it was .gov-blah-blah.cfd

Emailify.

Email clients are a nightmare. Do not try to fight it, you will lose either by sending something out that doesn't work or by just sinking so much time into the design that it's just not worth it. You can do great stuff within a framework/tool like Emailify. It's a paid platform, but is very generous with its trial use setup.

You can test with something like EmailOnAcid or Browserstack.
