I’m already planning in my mind the next build, I think i have a problem, send help 😂
I just keep circling around the idea that the best side projects have questionable explanations. If you can completely justify the ROI before you build it, then maybe it isn’t weird enough.

Your Mac has a little assistant now. 🔔
Meet Ding.
Talk to it → it sets reminders, moves them, cancels them, and answers you out loud.
Hold a key → dictate into any app, minus the "um".
Runs on your Mac. Nothing you say leaves it.

Congratulations to @CinderwayInt on getting this out into the world! I’ve watched Andrew pour his complete heart and soul into this project and I couldn’t be prouder or happier for him now it’s finally released.
I tried this in beta and let me tell you how much I appreciated having everything I use to build in one easy to follow dashboard.
Make sure you check out fokusflow.io it’s the tool you’ve probably been looking for.
Oh and one final thought, the launch vid 🤌 pure cinema 💜

I’m Yuma, an indie developer in Osaka.
After 25 years in kitchens and going bankrupt at 40, I’m starting over by building software.
Fellow developers and makers, let’s connect 🤝
I’m building developer tools and AI agent systems under StereoBinary.
Here, I share my projects, experiments, and lessons from building software, including the things that don’t go as planned.
I’m here to share what I learn, exchange ideas, and learn from your experiences, too.
Made with AI

Some people never get credit on X.
The ones who reply to every post, cheer every launch, and show up when nobody else does.
So today I built a tool for them:
enter your username → see your top 10 supporters → thank them.
Free, no login 👇

I’m Guy. 33. UK, Oxford based. Yorkshire Tea-fuelled.
I talk about building in public, AI, tech, philosophy the occasional sh*tpost and meme and like to support our Builders Circle Community. I’m currently building and shipping Platpost, an all in one platform for multi posting, ads, notetaking, and media, soon to include AI Videos.
If you’re interested in any of the above i'd love to connect.

A little look around the café now we’ve got ten builder cards on the table. I wanted to show you the people in here, but also explain why I built it in the first place.
I wanted somewhere builders could have an equal chance to be seen, without a leaderboard or paying extra to move further up one. Some people enjoy that side of things and I get it. I just fancied making a different sort of place, where you could pull up a chair, have a nose at what someone’s building and find something you might otherwise have missed.
So here are our first ten cards. Have a little wander through them. There are actual people and their work behind each one, and giving them a place at the table was the whole point.

Guys! Have you seen this?!
Amazing product by and amazing person. It’s part of my set up now.
@currentbitsNET
Last week I caught myself doing the same thing for the hundredth time.
⌘-Tab to the terminal. Is Claude Code still working? Does it need me? Back to the browser. ⌘-Tab again.
My MacBook has a notch doing absolutely nothing. So I started building.
The first version was tiny: a dot in the notch that turned amber when an agent needed input. Then I wanted my CPU there. Then my music. Then my next meeting. Then my clipboard. You can guess how this went.
Then I hit a problem: my external displays don't have a notch. And honestly, not everyone wants stuff in theirs.
So MacDock became two things in one. Live in the notch, or turn it into a second dock on the left, right or bottom edge of your screen. Make it yours: glass or solid, tints, icon sizes, magnification. Drag apps and links in, drag them out to remove. Hide it automatically, or shrink it to a tiny pill.
The funny part: I built most of it with the very AI agents it now watches. Claude Code writing the code, and MacDock telling me when Claude needed me. Peak recursion.
Somewhere along the way it became the thing I use all day:
• live Claude Code, Codex and Cursor sessions • screenshots with annotation • window snapping • a clipboard I can actually search • stats per app, music, calendar, Bluetooth
Today it's out. It's called MacDock 🧰 (Still looking for a better name)
One-time purchase, 3 Macs, free 14-day trial. Launch price $8.99 for the first month, then $14.99. Built solo, no account, no analytics. Just a small app doing its job.
👉 currentbits.net/macdock
If you build with AI agents too, I'd love to hear what you'd want in your dock next.
Small apps, big dreams. One app at a time 🌴

Okay, I can finally tell you what I’ve been building.
The cups. The duck. The weird little clues.
They all belong to cozycafe.dev.
I wanted to build a directory for people making things on the internet, but somewhere along the way I decided a normal directory was far too boring.
So I built a café instead.
You pick a drink, make your menu card and take your place alongside other builders.
It costs £1 to join.
No boosted listings. No premium spots. No paying more to appear above somebody else.
Everyone gets the same table.
And while Cozy Cafe might look like a directory at first, I may have got slightly carried away with the 'café' part.
There are things to find.
Things to interact with.
Things that change.
And probably a few things that have absolutely no reason to exist other than I thought they were fun.
The doors are open.
Pull up a chair.
