Technical founder building Unio 🛠️ 30 years shipping software, still can't stop coding. GitHub user #1305. Newfoundland. https://xitter.cf/t.co/ld7FIuVO2X

Joined February 2025
My 3rd Omarchy plugin is live: Kopia Backups. Kopia's tray icon tells me almost nothing, so I built a proper bar widget for it. Health at a glance, a 7-day heatmap of every hourly backup, and an alert when one fails.

Just published my second @OmarchyLinux plugin, Headroom. I wanted to see my Claude and Codex limits together in the bar and know if I’m likely to run out before they reset. Inspired by OpenUsage and CodexBar. github.com/steveclarke/omarc…

My first was Screen Push. I switch between a Mac Studio and an Omarchy box sharing three monitors. I didn’t want to fiddle with the hardware buttons on all three, so I made a plugin to switch them from the bar. github.com/steveclarke/omarc…

Switched to @herdrdev yesterday after using tmux for many years. Looks like I started at just the right time because I have all my computers in one client now. Such a huge improvement in my multi-agent workflow. Haven't even started looking at plugins yet - open to recommendations!

Just released my first @OmarchyLinux plugin. It switches your monitors over to a second computer connected to the same displays. Currently working on reverse engineering a Linux driver for an old USB fingerprint scanner. We can fix everything! plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.h…

Exactly! When transitions this big happen many people get stuck on old paradigms. The original idea of a personal computer was that *you* would write the programs to do what you wanted. When it turned out that programming was so complex, we pivoted to Plan B which was to hope someone else solved the same problem and use theirgeneral-use programs. Now we can finally write our own stuff. People who don't get this are trying to hang on to Plan B when Plan A is now available!
Omarchy is making the malleable computer a reality for all. Just ask your agent to build your idea, and shortly after your operating system is enhanced. Magical traction on this concept with Quattro.

I can finally have my computer do exactly what I've dreamed of doing all my life. Ever since I first started with a Vic 20 I pretty much had to hope someone else had the same problems as me and solved them in similar ways. Of course I've been able to write a few solutions of my own in the last 40 years but now I can write them ALL! We've only just begun to actually use computers like they were conceived to be used.
For anyone with endless ideas, this agent age is nirvana as those ideas are met with endless execution, endless exploration. I've never had has much fun working with computers as I do right now. What a time to be alive.

It doesn't have to be valuable to customers. Most of my vibe coding has been for me and my small team. Here's what I've built in the last six months. Most of it is the accumulation of 30 years' worth of needs, ideas, and itches I never had the time or energy to build until now. Apps I actually use: - Ninjanizr. Inventories everything I own. I walk around a room taking photos and the AI names each item, writes the description, fills in the fields. I use it for my band, checking out gear for a gig with a load-in and pack-out list. - Hugo. My personal AI coach and assistant that actually remembers me. - Riseset. Sunrise and sunset times in my Mac menu bar. - Voice notes watch app. A voice note off my wrist, cleaned up by AI, synced to my phone. - Songbinder. My whole music rig. Song library, setlists, and backing tracks that loop while the lyrics and chords scroll and follow you. Mirrored to a tablet on stage. - Signal Spotter. I live in rural Newfoundland. On the ATV, it maps where I get cell signal in the backcountry. - CleverTakes. My personal homepage, with a full project management system for my own projects. - LinkRadar. A Chrome extension that grabs interesting links and shows me trends. - Recall. A searchable archive of every AI coding session I've ever run. - Email archive. 30 years of email, 220,000 messages, instantly searchable. - Outport (outport.dev). Port orchestration so I can spin up fresh worktrees fast with no collisions. Shipped. - Superthread CLI. Shipped. Run your project boards from the keyboard, or hand it to an agent. - Kiso. My own reusable building blocks for web apps. - ApproveThis. Send someone a quick approve or reject request. No account needed. - A members site for a church network. Then a pile of things I just talk to: bookkeeping that reconciles my accounts daily, billing that turns timesheets into invoices, quarterly tax, standup and evening briefings, Fitbit and food logging by voice, my music library, worship setlists and sermon slides, a tool that drafts messages in my voice, bookmarks and research, domain brainstorming, even Guild Wars 2 session planning. And since March I built a full company intranet for our team of under 10. Project boards, team chat, huddles, a CRM with an AI assistant, a wiki, time tracking, whiteboards, notifications, a break timer, a customizable dashboard, and a Rec Room where the whole team answers an AI facilitator's questions at once and it feeds every person's input back to the agent, tagged by who said it. It runs as a desktop and mobile app, with a CLI that does everything the web UI does. A bunch of these are in languages I'd never written before. The watch and Android apps are Kotlin. Riseset is native Swift. My CLIs are Go. Each would've cost me weeks or months to learn the old way. Agents didn't just let me build this, they gave me the time to. I'm a company of one wearing every hat: accountant, CTO, devops, sysadmin, senior dev, architect, garbage man. A server going down used to cost me a full day. Now I'm in and out in 15 minutes while the agent inspects it, fixes things I didn't know were possible, and writes a full report. Next time it happens, Hugo remembers how we fixed it. To be clear, I've been a developer for 30 years and I architected every one of these. This personal stuff is vibe-coded, and that's the point. Our actual product isn't. That goes through a tight spec-driven process. But this other stuff? Honestly, I don't care. Vibe code it. That's exactly why I can have thirty of them.
What have you shipped that's actually valuable to customers?

I absolutely hate collaborating with the new Opus 4.7 model. I thought I had trouble before getting it to put things into conceptual language before technical details. Now it just gives walls of technical explanations for simple questions. It's not that I can't understand the technical explanations - I just don't NEED them. Give me simple explanations and I can ask for more detail if needed. Claude, can you just shut up?!

"What ports does this worktree use again?" I built a tool that makes this question disappear. > "outport up" gives every service deterministic ports > ".test" hostnames with real HTTPS, no warnings > Cross-service env wiring — CORS, API URLs, all automatic > Worktrees get isolated ports and hostnames Try it out ↓ outport.dev

I've been building Outport — port orchestration for local dev. One config file gives every service a .test hostname with HTTPS, deterministic ports, and cross-service env wiring. Worktrees get isolated ports automatically. xitter.cf/compose/articles/edit/…

My non-technical co-founder set up our entire SaaS dev stack — Rails, Nuxt, Docker, PostgreSQL, custom CLI — by himself in a day using Claude Code. He doesn't know the command line. Has never written a line of code. I wrote about why this matters and what it means for the agentic era. xitter.cf/SevenviewSteve/status/…

Just a typical day of infrastructure work with Claude.

I use Wispr Flow with my Newfoundlander accent and just yolo everything, so excuse the bad stream-of-conciousness grammar lol
