I’ve been trying Maccy, a lightweight macOS clipboard manager, and it’s been a great workflow boost. It makes it easy to find and reuse recent copies to my clipboard, which cuts down on searching when I’m building or debugging with AI. If you juggle lots of snippets, links, or commands, a simple clipboard history can save a lot of time. Curious what tools others here use for this kind of thing!

Thanks to a great idea from Ray Deck, I have reduced the number of tools in the snappy.ai Xano MCP from ~180 tools and ~150,000 tokens to ~1000 tokens and 3 core tools: 1. Gemini Flash Powered Search - "What tools do I have?" (Semantic search across all tools - e.g., "create table", "list functions") 2. Info - "Tell me more about that specific tool" (returns parameters, examples, docs) 3. Execute - "Do it" (runs the tool with the right parameters) Now the initial handshake costs only ~1000 tokens instead of 150,000. Claude discovers tools as needed rather than loading everything upfront. This pattern should work for any MCP with dozens or hundreds of tools. Instead of exposing everything at once, create a search/discovery layer that lets Claude Code find what it needs when it needs it!

Hey, I'm working in n8n and trying to pass an array of values to the JSON body of the HTTP Request node, but I keep getting a comma-separated string instead of an actual array. I managed to fix it by adding square brackets and using .map() to wrap each item in quotes: "keywords": [{{ $json.output.keywords.map(k => `"${k}"`) }}] It works, but I'm wondering — is there a simpler or more elegant way to achieve this?

I spent the last few days at a cabin, taking time to put together some thoughts. When I started this community in November 2022, 'communities' weren't a popular thing yet. It was just me, making posts nobody read, hosting weekly meetings that no one showed up to. I was miles away from product-market fit, but I was carefully listening to the signs this group was pointing me towards. @Rene Tatua was the first person to join the weekly call consistently, and when you're dancing alone, you need to have at least one person to join you so that you stop looking crazy. Eventually, @Mario Haarmann joined too, and the three of us have kept 'Happy Friday' going ever since. I used to stress about what to do with this community. As trends came and went, I admit I explored some of them - making the group paid, running affiliates, or starting another 'premium' group. I've had plenty of people offer to partner with me in order to monetize it, but we had already built something valuable by simply meeting every Friday. I'm thankful for the genuine group we have. While my business continues to grow and change, our calls have kept me grounded, and served as a reminder me that huge value can come from ignoring trends, and staying consistent.
