I made a little iPhone app that uses the on-device model to sort your shopping list by aisle. Paste in a big list, add stores, tweak aisles to match your store’s layout, and share lists with your household. Nice for starting at one end and working your way across :)

Great write up. I was very excited to use dialog but quickly hit many of the issues mentioned here, especially with third party dependencies (dropdown menus, tooltips, toasts) breaking and no ability to animate. Eventually had to throw in the towel and switch back to portals 😕
I'm often asked why you would use a JS library like React Aria for modals instead of the HTML
Modal a11y · adobe react-spectrum · Discussion #9696
Hi, I have 2 questions related to the Modal component. In the documentation example, I tells us to use <Dialog> inside the modal. Why is it internally a <section role="dialog"> instead of a <dialog...

Wrote up how I got Obsidian Sync + Claude Code running on a VPS so I can access my notes from my phone. It's like my little mobile second brain 🧠 I'd love if Obsidian came out with a headless version that worked with sync so the setup could be simplified 🙏

Lately I've been using Claude Code with Obsidian as a thinking partner and I've found the experience really rewarding. It's helped get me back into writing and get excited about capturing ideas again. Did a little write up on my setup.

My Second Brain Never Worked. Then I Gave It a Gardener. - Rob Dodson
I could never maintain a second brain. Then I pointed Claude Code at my Obsidian vault and let it do the organizing for me. Now I'm writing again.

Kind of interesting to watch this Clawdbot thing evolve from a lobster mascot to a crab. Carcinisation in action.

Mozilla, or someone like them, should come out with an open source model trained on actual public domain and voluntary data, to compete against OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/xAI. There is a huge prevailing sense of malaise at the concentration of power in a handful of private AI companies.

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.

Found some unnecessary twitter metadata still sitting around on my web site and it’s always a good time to delete code (*especially* now).
Might be worth checking your web sites to see if you can delete it too?
