I’ve made one MCP server for fun https://altonote.com/.

it allows publishing any text or claude artifact directly from the claude.

I have made it mostly for fun and as an experiment to try what is possible.


100% this. I did this many times too. Often I wouldn’t bother with cleanup or refactor before, but now it’s way easier, faster and cheaper to do it.

And it’s better in the long run.


Any actual evidence of it being better? Because publicly available evidence points to the contrary, where it repeatedly fails to complete the most basic of tasks.

This is just not being reported yet in mainstream media. ie, that the emperor is only wearing undergarments (he is not fully naked).

Part of the reason is that the reporters are themselves not in the trenches coding to be skeptical of the claims they hear.


I meant "better for me on the projects in the long run, since I can do refactoring cheaper"


It's better than him.


oh, it was flagged


pretty cool. I don't use it like that, but can see it being useful.

I like Safari send to mail feature too.

I made small Mail app macOS extension called alto.mail. Thinking what features can I add to make it even more useful.


inspired by this post just wrote down small story about one of the calls

very cool. last year I made similar for Apple Photos(but it's on pause now).

https://public.photos


That's super cool Anton! Your way of uploading the albums is really neat. Haven't thought about that.

Do you mind sharing more?

How did that work out for you? Did you encounter any technical issues with working with Apple's app? Why did you end up pausing the project?

Would love to hear from you,

Or


I have few other projects like that and this one is one of the least popular.

So I paused it.

Also on top of that dealing with photos and videos are not cheap and would be harder for me to scale things.

Basically it was a fun little experiment.


This is super cool, just like the www.myphotos.site. Just need a nice UI and options to share/hide album.


small macOS utility app that adds some missing functionality to Apple Notes, Apple Mail and so on. Things like backlinks, templates, export of notes and publishing online.

it’s called alto.computer


Live Neil Postman. Discovered him around 2016 and read many of his books. And planning to regularly reread him.

So many things changed since he died but his ideas hold up pretty good.


He passed away before the first iPhone and now my only 2 wishes are: 1) a new book about how smartphones revolutionize the modern world and 2) a new Lauryn hill album


Technopoly is also amazing, make that your next read.


yes, I’ve read that and many of his books. they all a bit similar and he reuses tons of similar quotes and ideas. but that is even better, he just tries to drive the same points.


I remember rolling my eyes at Technopoly a lot more than I did at Amusing Ourselves, but actually...I read Technopoly maybe 15 years ago, when the Internet had a lot more promise and less downside. Maybe if I read it now it would seem a lot more correct.

Amusing Ourselves, on the other hand, was brilliant when I first read it, but now we seem to be living in a world that is both Orwell and Huxley. The free market provides endless pap, AND governments/political figures have learned to use new media to provide endless misinformation designed to keep us fearful. So maybe if I read it today it would not seem as relevant.


100% this. most people do not realize that all those non-secrete messages from private chats and group chats are stored in database that people at telegram has access to.


love the UI.

I made habit tracker visualizer based on Apple Reminders

you need to focus on how you'll stop eating pastries man, I'll hope you succeed soon, based on that tracker list

Good luck !

Pastry Hater
