The Idea After deciding to build an iOS app using AI, the first thing I set out to create was a metronome app designed for dark stage environments. Back in college, I played drums — and while that was a while ago, there weren’t many metronome apps that felt both clean and professional. (Turns out, that’s still true today.) That’s what led me to the idea: a simple, black-and-white metronome where
A practical look at using tower as the middleware layer for Rust AWS Lambda functions, with examples that build up to a DynamoDB-backed per-IP rate limiter. It covers Service, Layer, stack ordering, short-circuiting, boxed async futures, and testing middleware without deploying a Lambda. Comments
I have a confession: I'm a productivity app addict. Notion, Todoist, Things, TickTick, Bear, Obsidian — I've tried them all. And every single one failed me in the same way. Not because they were bad apps. But because they let me add unlimited tasks. So I'd wake up Monday morning, open my to-do app, and see 47 items staring back at me. By 9am I was already paralyzed. Decision fatigue is real. When

I'm going to give you the comparison I couldn't find when I was choosing. Most "Claude Code vs Cursor" articles are either vibe-based or benchmarks that don't match solo indie dev workflows. I wanted something grounded in an actual multi-product project: 4 iOS apps, 5 distribution surfaces, 11 public repos, CI/CD across all of them. So I spent 14 days building exactly that — exclusively with Claud
It's a one-line item on the roadmap. "Send a push notification when X happens." Estimate is two days, three if the backend doesn't have FCM credentials yet. There's a library for it. The library is the visible part. The other 90% is platform lifecycle, registration state machines, race conditions with navigation, payload archaeology, and a half-dozen iOS and Android quirks. Nobody writes them down
A hands-on dev review focused on i18n, date/number formatting, and non-ASCII edge cases. Why I Tested TestSprite for Locale Handling Specifically Most AI testing tools get reviewed for their core functionality — does it find bugs, does it write good test code, does it integrate with CI/CD. Those reviews exist. What I couldn't find was a focused review on how TestSprite handles locale-specific edge
