I tried all AI code review tools so you don't have to.

here's how they did (🧵):

Getting started with Claude Code got easy 👌

I was using Claude Code wrong 🤦‍♂️

We used to "inspect source" 🥺

Imagine spending weeks—sometimes months or years—crafting something that feels unique, meaningful or deeply personal

Only for someone to come along and make a cheap knock-off in one click

The team at Cursor is about to change how you code again

Vibe Keyboard just dropped 🔥
- mechanical hot swap switches
- USB-C 4K 120W
- accept lock toggle
- all day battery

What's stopping you from coding like this

[Clobbr @clobbrapp]

If you’ve missed it, Clobbr has just been updated with tons of new features! 🔥

[Clobbr @clobbrapp]

- completely reworked internals for speed and stability

Also fixes:
- an issue where timeouts will result in runs that never end
- stability when running 1000s of requests at once

Enjoy v1.17 🙌

[Clobbr @clobbrapp]

Now out 🎉
The biggest Clobbr release ever!

- adds the ability to cancel runs
- shows charts real-time as requests come in
- shows request progress
- allows saving & inspecting response data (via settings)
- allow showing value scale (via Y-axis settings)

and…

yeah I am probably a terrible business person 😔

why?
I rewrote the internals of https://t.co/A36yDuGo6Y because I got a combo of bad Setapp review + support email concerning the same issue.

I couldn't leave it be.
So I slept 6 hours in the past 3 days to fix this.
I want to stand by what I built and support my apps for as long as I can.
So why is this BAD for business?

I'll tell you in a second.
But first, it's time for Realtalk™

Many people in the community advocate for shipping things fast and fixing things as you go. But I think quite a lot stop at shipping fast and never do the other part.
There is an insane amount of buggy indie software that never gets patches.

I think long-term this will hurt you, either slowly or with a wrath when e.g. someone discovers a huge flaw in your apps.

👉 A polished can be a huge moat in a sea of buggy products

IMO you ship fast and either:
- kill the app; it failed. Refund everybody
- commit to maintaining the app and your image as an indie dev
(optionally, pivot and choose again)

Medium to long term this will create a user base and you will be able to get sales on new products by leveraging your brand.

🤔 But I just said this is a terrible business decision?
Well, the truth is I probably chose the wrong thing long ago. I should have pivoted or killed the app.
It's in a niche of a niche and I have built it purely on a hunch.

I stopped marketing efforts for Clobbr a while ago and sales have been going down.
So choosing to work on this vs a new product that can bring a lot more revenue (or existing one that does it) is probably a STUPID IDEA.

I don't care though, I want those 2 people that wrote to me to like the app.
I hope it's not just my ego, but a principle that I will manage to stand by for decades.

> Will I make less money?
Sure.

> Will I sleep better at night?
Absolutely.

And I do need sleep right about now 😂

Debugging just got a lot easier 👀

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

OKAY

I am sold on AI agents.

This is INSANE. So I open up this exception, then:
- AI tries to find a quick cause
- ❌ not the cause
- AI convinces itself that's not the root cause
- ✅ AI finds the actual root causes
- 🤯 AI suggests fixes
- I guide the fix
- implements the entire thing by looking at my code
- 🔂 AI makes a PR
- the PR actually fixes the issue???

Mac dev stats in 2024 💡

💻 ~60% of are either actively working on / have implemented AI models in their apps

📉 Only 20% distribute their apps exclusively via the Mac App Store.

🥽 20% are planning to develop for visionOS in 2024 / are already in the dev process

I am not bragging

but don't even try to compete with me for Debug December, I am absolutely crushing it 😂

those prizes are MINE

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

this was by far my most successful launch

but I didn't build it

it was AI 😱

[Clobbr @clobbrapp]

Seeing what happened before an exception is OP 🫡

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

OK this is cool.

how many times have you wanted to just see what the user is doing when something went wrong? I know I have.

well, this is basically it.
a way to see *exactly* what the user was doing before something crashed.

Sentry can do this for Flutter, React Native, iOS, and Android 🤯
You can also see network and tracing, which means you can debug something end to end. WHAT

[Dan ⚡️ @d4m1n]

fonts, themes and so many demos you'll scrollwheel is gonna break :D

I am beginning to realize that fitting complex UIs into small controls is kinda my thing.

I just have a blast doing it, trying to figure out how to pull it off and keep things clean.

what's yours? 😬
