The other day, it took me half an hour to share an HTML file of a blog design from my phone with Claude Code, which was running in an isolated environment. Now I’m not inexperienced when it comes to computers but file sharing on iOS is just needlessly complicated.
Claude code can’t read files shared using iCloud and all the services it suggested like Pastee allow sharing of text but it’s not possible to view the source of an .html file stored in Files on iOS without third party apps. Ultimate I had to push the file into a temporary git repository.
Anyway, what I needed was a simple file share so I whipped up FileShare. Login with an account you setup and create temporary or permanent private and public files
Two weeks after Lamb 0.7.0, I released another significant new version of Lamb, my friction free microblogging project. This version includes support for Micropub, allowing you to post text and photos from anywhere, adds a Trash where deleted posts go for 30 days, support for drafts, a new docs site and a lot more (redirects)!
With LLMs these days we are living in a golden age at the moment as a side-project developer. This makes it a challenge to catalogue and present these tools and projects in the best light. So I built toolhub:
Toolhub is a portfolio hub / tools manager that will bootstrap a projects.yaml with a GitHub user’s public github repos, and gists with a readme, then generate a static site with a tool per page and a index, auto updated with a focus on minimising maintenance, so the site updates itself 😄
Thought it would be useful to apply my LLM learnings to future projects, and extracted half a dozen skills. As I wasn't clear on the separation between Claude.AI and Claude Code I also documented how to make the skills available to both.
Having the skills repo symlinked allows you iteratively work on them as well, which is nice.
Today I was thinking about how I am never sure what format to use when creating links to files and directories. Is it symbolic or hard link, should I use absolute or relative paths? So I spent a little time and created link that will guide you through the process or use heuristics, in a standardized lnk from to format.
lnk is an interactive wrapper around ln that helps you create symbolic and hard links safely.
It asks a small set of plain-English questions, explains the decision it makes, shows the equivalent shell command, and only proceeds after confirmation.
The default pagination size was increased so lists show 10 posts per page unless overridden by configuration.
Pagination was refactored into a single helper that can paginate either an in-memory list or a database query (including optional filtering + bound parameters), and callers were simplified to rely on it for reading the page number and per-page setting.
Result-building metadata was normalized (naming like total_posts/total_pages, offsets, prev/next page), reducing duplicated counting/offset logic in search and tag flows.
The UI pagination rendering was enhanced to show a condensed page range with ellipses and to style the current page consistently with links.
Updated Todout a work in progress minimalist, keyboard-centric task outliner that lives right in your browser. It’s designed for folks who want the speed of a plain-text editor but the organizational power of a structured database. It's not better at filtering priorities. #projects#todout
HTMXPress 0.1.1…
HTMXPress 0.1.1 has been released, the HTMX plugin for WordPress! More info
Improvements to code readability and security, as well as updates to versioning and error handling. Notable changes involve the removal of deprecated syntax, enhancements to template loading logic, and an upgrade of the HTMX script to a newer version.
Repoman is a script to export and import a list of git repositories. Version 0.3 has the following improvements:
The repoman script has been enhanced with new filtering options like --no-remote, --all, and --help for better control over repository listings. The command-line interface now features improved parameter handling and a detailed help menu with usage examples. Error handling has been upgraded by switching to exit statements for more reliable termination and enhancing input validation. Additionally, the script now robustly handles empty lines, invalid entries, and potential failures during git operations.
