Any smart home nerds out there? I wanted to reuse my old iPad as a @home-assistant.io dashboard, but I didn't want to leave it on 24/7, so I built an app that uses the iPad camera as a presence detector 🧵

Any email client recommendations? I got a free year of Superhuman but it's ending soon. I like a lot about it, but it still has a few issues for a €33/month service. What are people using these days? Just Gmail?

I've been using AI heavily for my coding projects, both at
@volograms.com and with my side projects. There have been ups and downs, but I can't imagine going back to coding without it. Some honest conclusions 🧵

I relived my smart home learning journey with this slidebean video. Unsurprisingly, I reached the same conclusion: @home-assistant.io was the answer. Now I’m officially a smart home nerd ✌️

I need a favor for a story: I want to know about software you built, just for you. Not to sell, not to raise capital for, just for you and you alone. Vibe coding, hand-coding, whatever works. If you've done this, email me (david at the verge dot com) or DM me — I want to hear all the stories!

I cook dinner for the whole family every day, and planning is a pain. Especially because my two kids go to different schools. Two schools, two lunch calendars, which I kept forgetting to check. So I'd end up serving the same thing they'd had for lunch🤦♂️. I vibe-coded a fix 🧵

Let me tell you a story of what happens when you grab a bunch of nerds and put them in a castle for a week to explore the future of Social XR. (+ how you can try this at home or build your own @dagstuhl).

Loved this piece by @laurengoode.bsky.social on vibe coding. I think other journalists have superficially tested vibe coding, underestimating how much is being used by developers, PMs and all kinds of entrepreneurs.

Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Them—and Why Did I Love It?
I spent two days at Notion and saw an industry in upheaval. I also shipped some actual code.

I just noticed that one of my oldest repos has been starred 100 times on github ⭐️. I built the first version of this algorithm at GTI-UPM with my colleague Sergio when I was doing my master thesis 🤩. We still use a —faster and more powerful— version of it at @volograms.com
