I was able to successfully reverse-engineer the OptiTrack/NaturalPoint #TrackIR SDK and create Open TrackIR on the Mac. So anyone who used to use the SmartNav can now use the TrackIR on a Mac!

accidentally called this a “button” instead of a “CTA” and my PM took me aside and shot me in the head

Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

We’re updating our ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscriptions to better support the growing use of Codex.

We’re introducing a new $100/month Pro tier. This new tier offers 5x more Codex usage than Plus and is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions.

In ChatGPT, this new Pro tier still offers access to all Pro features, including the exclusive Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models.

To celebrate the launch, we’re increasing Codex usage for a limited time through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to build your most ambitious ideas.

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.

Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.

Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"

AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

@burkov I buy two seats at $30/mo each. Much more affordable.

[Philip Brocoum @stedwick]

@sumitdotml Buy the business plan for $30 per seat, then buy more seats as you need. I average 2-3 seats per month.

[Philip Brocoum @stedwick]

@bp22 @MaxMMillerAT That's fine, but what's a better solution? Don't focus on the problem, focus on the solution.

@tannerlinsley I've settled into https://t.co/IfhTRMNEl2 and https://t.co/IjC1c5B7lD nice and simple

After releasing Shiori a few weeks ago, some power-bookmarkers imported thousands of links and I racked up a pretty decent X API + Claude bill. I probably over-reacted and raised prices too fast + nerfed the free plan too aggressively.

As a result, the free plan ended up feeling ~useless, even for casual bookmarkers.

So I pushed some changes this morning that make the free plan actually usable + added an approachable middle paid tier.

New free tier:
• save unlimited links
• subscribe to unlimited feeds
• rich content extraction on all links
• natural-language search
• access to all apps, API, CLI, and MCP

Better!

There are also some fun new features I added last weekend and this morning:

🤖 Shiori MCP server
Connect to any agent, like Claude, to integrate your bookmarks into your AI workflows (nice for research!)

💻 Shiori CLI
Same thing: all your bookmarks are now hyper-legible to LLMs so you can build tools or workflows on top of your library.

📨 Email inbox (pro)
Get a private Shiori email address to automatically save your favorite email newsletters.

📰 Subscribe to feeds and channels
Automatically bookmark new content from your favorite sites and YouTube channels. These links are also enriched and transcribed on the Plus and Pro plans.

🔒 Sign in with email/password
Many people told me they don't like Google auth, so I've added email/password as a second sign in method

🪟 Windows desktop PWA
For Windows users, you can grab the Shiori PWA by installing the website via Chrome. Not quite a proper Windows app, but I'll get there...

Check out the updates and send me feedback!
