I make small native apps for desktop and mobile. Two are out: CogniLog, a work log your AI assistant can read, and Dice Builder: RPG Roller, dice mechanics that adapt to the table.

I deeply care about software experiences that feel native to the environment they are ran in. Keeping the user's interest in mind, whether that be privacy, data control, or the experience loop.

rivetrune··on Where the Tool Stops and I Begin
Author here, this came out of trying to work out where I actually want AI in my process and where I don't, ranked by how much I trust the output. I found it helpful to enumerate my position and boundaries within my craft.
rivetrune··on Degraded performance for multiple models
For me, Opus 5 has seemed to compete with Fable on quality of output. Prior to Opus 5 though, the previous Opus models did seem to decline once Fable was release. That's just my experience though.

Thank you!

What's the repository link? I think it would be fascinating to have a corpus of "hacked" solutions like this. Can't tell you how many times a couch co-op game night got sabotaged by some piece of hardware failing to communicate with another.
