interesting - I'll keep an eye out for that and see if I can identify it too
tomelliot··on Ask HN: Best meeting transcription daemon for macOS?
thanks - I've also bought macwhisper. I'm looking for less GUI and more daemon (also it's been super buggy - hopefully their recent update helps)

tomelliot··on Show HN: Nobie – an Excel-compatible runtime for agents and humans
can you share your prompt? i love the combination of digital + offworld vibes with the brushstrokes, i'd love to iterate on it.

also, such a smart idea to build the excel runtime alternative. remember us when you get snapped up by a lab for a training environment.

tomelliot··on TLDR: Official MCP Registry
The official "meta registry" for MCP servers is out in the light of day:

The full details on how they're thinking about this ecosystem:

tomelliot··on Ask HN: What's the Point of MCP?
Mm I hadn't thought about the stateful part - so the server is running the whole time the MCP client is active? Rather than being spun up as needed to make a tool call?
tomelliot··on Ask HN: What's the Point of MCP?
Yeah definitely an ecosystem play
tomelliot··on Ask HN: What's the Point of MCP?
Yeah that seems to be how it is today. I'm just curious if there's something I'm missing with MCP, or if they want to make some changes down the road that will improve it in this way.

Looks cool!

Do you support using a different no code front end?

tomelliot··on Show HN: Tool for freelancers to calculate how much money to set aside
Cool tool, thanks for sharing!

I did the same thing with building something in excel - I didn't think as hard about the retirement portion though and just matched it to my previous pension contributions from when I was employed, so that's a great addition.

One thing I have in my sheet that I find helpful: A comparison with an equivalent annual salary at an employer. For example I have a day rate that is a rough approximation to match the annual salary I'd like to have if I were employed by someone - taking into account that the day rate needs to include sick days, holidays, the employer's share of insurance and pension contributions that I now pay etc.
