When in Germany, it’s time for kebab!

Currently working on a template system for @markway.io Slowly cracking it.

Trains have exactly the right background soundscape for productive coding.

Started a website project yesterday for a local NGO. Within a day using Cursor AI I was able to: — Create a design system — Create an interactive style guide — Build a home page — Implement two language internationalization Truly amazing, what a productive boost this is. 🤯

Added a simple onboarding/welcome to @markway.io. When a user first installs the extension, it immediately opens a new page with a small interactive tutorial. Thoughts?

One of my favorite features in Cursor AI are the AI generated commit messages. Feels satisfying to wrap up a feature, click the magic wand icon and see a summary of your work.

Okay, @pmfordie takes #buildinginpublic to a whole new level. Two people, 90 days, and the goal is to create a $1 million in revenue with an AI app. With a 24/7 livestream into their NY apartment. Wild. I just tuned in, and one of them is still at it at 4:22 AM. 😄

I think I will shift my focus a bit next week to do more "marketing" and awareness for @markway.io One thing I would love to see is the community growing. The more people in the community, the more feedback and ideas I can gather that help me improve the extension.

Every time I accidentally close Raycast I'm almost losing complete control of how to use my Mac.

Just added an account for @markway.io on Bluesky. 🦋

This week, my aim was to release another version of @markway.io for my small group of testers. I wasn't sure if I can make it, but after a productive coding day yesterday, I managed to tick off the last big tasks. Publishing it tonight!

This week I had my head deep down in the sand building the base functionality for @markway_io. One step after the other. 👀

Just published a new release of the #roamresearch Highlighter (4.6). It should resolve the formatting issues that some people experienced. You can get the new version from the Chrome web store here: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/roam...

Today, I put notes for @markway_io at a couple places where my current Roam Highlighter is being found or used. I really want to involve users from the beginning—getting their feedback and ideas would be amazing.

I've decided to make @markway_io my primary gig for the moment. Always wanted to improve my Roam Highlighter extension, but with a new name and a complete rebuild. I'm currently in the concept phase, but here is an early idea of a sidepanel view for highlights:

I can't say exactly why, but I just love the new @kit branding. Maybe it's the simplicity and the great contrast.

A year ago, I started a YouTube channel. The numbers are increasingly getting better, even thought I haven't published a single video in the last four months. What other platform offer this?

I've been using the Cursor agent mode a bit more, and I'm impressed. It’s not superfast, but this morning, I assigned it a task and then made a quick breakfast. When I got back, everything I asked for was done, and I could see the reasoning behind its decisions.

One of the recent @RoamResearch updates effects my Web Highlighter and breaks the formatting when pasting into Roam. I'm now working on a fix to get the Web Highlighter back in shape again.

Today I'm focusing on making some updates and improvements to my @outseta Project Starter. I've used the template now a couple of times and always made comments when I saw something could be improved. Now going through my notes to implement the changes.

Just saw that my website crossed 500 stars on Github! Working on the website is "fun time" for me. Seeing that it's helpful/inspiring for others is added benefit!

Just updated my handle here to my domain. Clean!

Here an article @capacities.bsky.social is the daily note—which I use heavily to organize my thoughts and to build my note's collection from the bottom-up. Here an article on my approach: danielwirtz.com/blog/bottom-...

Playing with a block-based card editor for greety.co. The editing experience is similar to Notion—and adding a "Page Dividers" simply creates new pages in the card.
