I’ve been sharing in here about my work building a construction crew to help build bakeries - a workspace I have named Mira’s Forge. In my “hey I think I have 30-40 hours of Fable tokens left, YOLO!” post, @Alex Brown asked for a video about the build. And I was like “hmmm I didn’t film anything”, but in my next comment I was like “I keep *really* detailed records and I have Fable tokens which are about to expire” (or not, but I wouldn’t know that for about another 12 hours) 🤔. This is that video. Turns out it was long, because I talk too much and I keep detailed records. I’m hoping this might be of interest and value to some here. I would love to know what you think. https://youtu.be/vUSvUnlrcxk

I've been playing around with Claude for a while, optimising workflows, supercharging a recent discovery sprint. But this week I actually shipped something. A simple idea capture tool for Mac. I used to use Things 3, and whilst the app structure never quite worked for me, I loved the quick capture feature. Keyboard shortcut, text input, thought saved. I've tried everything since: Apple Shortcuts to Reminders, Quick Notes, third-party apps. Nothing matched how I actually work. So I built my own. It's written in Swift, a language I've never touched before. I've been following development best practices as far as I remember them, pushing to a GitHub repo, branching for new features. Notes save as JSON that my ICM workspace can action, The whole thing was built with Claude. I haven't thought about anything else all weekend.
 Scope creep is real. It now has optional task types, a menu bar drop down with sync status, a live list of recent captures, inline editing, tagging. I drafted the initial design in Figma, then went back and forth between VS Code and Figma, designing where I needed to, tweaking code where I needed to. As a designer, syntax was always the wall between having an idea and building it. But working in a real codebase, you're closer to the actual product. It allows a level of finesse you can't achieve in Figma. Refining a micro interaction, adjusting an animation timing, polishing subtle UI details. I am very excited to make progress with my ICM workspace build out, lots of product ideas to be built!
