Longtime Harvest user (16yrs) as well. Checkout Tillage.ai it has a Harvest import tool.

Same issue, our pricing went from $2500/year to $25,000/year, absolutely insane! I built and released this open source tool to export your entire Harvest historical time tracking data into a searchable archive. Makes the transition off Harvest much easier! github.com/WebDevStudios/Hay…

Vibed out an app today and I haven't looked at the internals at all
Things are going wrong with it, I'm scared and frustrated
Then I remembered /improve-codebase-architecture
What a lovely, warm bath of a skill

"Build it and they will come" gets mocked a lot, but it worked for @calcom. We hit 1M users mostly through people using it, liking it, and telling other people about it. Just build something people actually want to recommend.

THIS GUY MAKES COMPLEX AI AGENT CONCEPTS RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
No jargon wall. No assuming you already know what a reward model or an evaluation harness is.
Just a straight line from "I have no idea how agents actually work" to "oh, that's genuinely simple."
The best explainers do not simplify by cutting corners. They simplify by finding the one analogy that makes the whole thing click.

THE CEO OF OBSIDIAN JUST OPEN-SOURCED THE CLAUDE CODE SKILLS HE WAS USING PRIVATELY IN HIS OWN VAULT. 40,000 STARS IN A FEW WEEKS
5 skills. 1 MIT license. 0 pitches
kepano - the founder who wrote the "File over app" essay - dropped a set of Agent Skills that teach Claude Code to read and write Obsidian files the way a human expert would. Markdown that respects wikilinks. Bases queries Claude actually writes correctly
JSON Canvas edits that don't corrupt the file. A defuddle skill that strips ads and boilerplate off any URL and drops a clean note into your vault. He built them for himself, tested them in his own workflow, then pushed the folder to GitHub
every skill is one SKILL.md file. Drop the repo into .claude/skills/ and Claude Code picks them up automatically. No plugin store. No account. No cloud. Same idea that made Obsidian: your notes are files on your disk, the app is disposable, and the AI just learned to speak the format
the essay was called "File over app". The workflow is now file over agent
MIT-licensed. Shipped in his own name
no vendor lock. no subscription. no cloud memory. no walled garden. no pitch to raise a round
you're reading this on a device that could clone the repo, drop it into your vault, and have Claude Code editing your notes correctly before your next standup

New skill: /apple-design
Apple’s WWDC videos are a goldmine of knowledge. I’ve combed through my favorite ones and came up with 17 design and motion principles.
Use them to review existing work or when working on something new to get it right.

Some of my favorite UI libraries:
NumberFlow for animating numbers.
input-otp for one-time passwords.
Liveline for real-time charts.
Leva for customizable GUIs.
cmdk for command menus.
Virtuoso for virtualization.
dnd kit for drag and drop.
Sonner for notifications.

With 13 months of hindsight transitioning a team of 40+ designers to AI workflows, here's my advice to other leaders still making this transition:
Don't make it optional.
Don't piecemeal your approach.
Set a clear date for everyone to become proficient.
Then allow them to use AI (or not) as they please* after they've become familiar with what it can do.
...because having observed myself and others make this transition, they will be shocked at how they've been designing *without* the assistance of AI.
Certain aspects of handoffs, faking interactions, and asking devs to make small changes will all seem rather silly in hindsight.
Give them the impetus for adopting sooner than they would otherwise. The rest will come easier.

I still can’t believe this is real.
I’m a trained filmmaker. Former film producer. I’ve spent thousands of hours in editing bays cutting footage frame by frame.
This weekend I’m creating a video for one of the biggest brands in the world.
Here’s my setup:
Claude Code on the left. @descript in the middle (for editing). @Remotion on the right (to preview/edit the motion graphics we create with CC)
I have all my scenes and templates built out referencing a central brand style guide (about 15 of them that CC also created for me)
When I need a new motion graphic, I copy the script section from Descript into Claude Code and get it back in 2 minutes, ready to drop into the timeline.
The background music? Built with a Python library a member in the Claude Code Community made. I type what I need, it generates the track.
Sound design and voice effects? @elevenlabs handles it, whatever the scene needs.
I spent years learning After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut. I went to school for this. And now the most efficient production workflow I’ve ever used is a code editor, a couple APIs, Descript and a programmatic video tool.
This isn’t replacing filmmaking. It’s what filmmaking looks like now.
If you’re a creator or a marketer still doing everything manually, this workflow will change how you think about video production.
I’m hosting a live event for our community where I’ll walk through this entire setup. It’s normally invite only, but I’m opening it up to everyone.

Bears QB Caleb Williams says of CB Jaylon Johnson's post-game confrontation with Matt Eberflus last week, "He's frustrated. He's been here a long time and the records and playoffs haven't been there."
He adds, "That's coming."
