Chilltax (github.com/lucianm...) a two radio station player for macOS - Winamp of AI era. I'm putting my new headphones FIIO EH11 and Skullcandy Dime 360 to good use. Anyway, Argon fun is over. Now is slower and less smart. I have to prompt it a lot more.

All the missing icons from Heroicons are now part of Sidekickicons. github.com/tailwin... - how cool is to see you Anchor app for macOS get its very own Heroicon as Sidekickicon?

I asked Argon to tune production server for me over SSH using a stress test I created with DeepSeek months ago. It cut memory usage in half from 300MB to 150MB. It improved the stress test too. It even changed my logparser utility to drop old logs - basically doing logrotate without logrotate in Python. Now I started working on all my git repos at once by running the agent in my workspace path. I feel like a code samurai!

This sounds like a good idea, I should do this for my servers.

Special Halloween drop for Subreply: animated SVG icons in sidebar. Enjoy!

Such low response times. I'm seeing 24-30ms.

Developers these day prefer an async framework like FastAPI combined with Tortoise ORM. I asked Argon if we will gain any speed if we switch: switching to Falcon ASGI + Tortoise ORM would likely offer no real-world speedup (and could be slower per request) compared to Gunicorn + Django ORM + PgBouncer. With PgBouncer pooling local connections and fast indexed queries, I/O wait time is tiny--async event-loop and Python object-hydration overhead in Tortoise outweighs concurrency gains.

Gemini 4 Argon helped eliminate 217 SQL queries across all HTML views, API endpoints, hooks, forms, and serializers. A typical logged-in Subreply page load dropped from 8-24 SQL queries down to 1-4 SQL queries.

What are you building?
🛸 Lucian Marin
Every single idea that I have. Replying from Subreply native app on macOS.
🛸 Lucian Marin
I have 3 vertical rows of navigation on my left side of the screen: the macOS dock, the vertical tabs on Chrome, Search browsers and the X, Subreply, Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, etc. site navigation.

This guy makes all sorts of lil' apps ALL the time. I don't ever think to try my hand at something simple yet useful. sindresorhus.com/s...

I'm about to beat him at his own game. I dropped another macOS app: Macnews for news.lucianmarin.com site. I try to make sure my Mac/Web apps have at least one or two reasons to exit. I have an idea about a rain app that tells you if it's gonna rain or not today, but there's plenty of weather apps already on the market.

You have no idea. I asked Argon to match 1:1 experience of Subreply on web for Subreply on macOS and it did it. So, basically the API and the native client are bullet proof in days, not months or years.

There's a new browser that aims to be the best parts of Arc and Dia. Only problem is, it chokes on my 1,000+ tabs I currently have in Helium browser ardia.dev
🛸 Lucian Marin
Have you tried the new searchbrowser.app?
👽 Paul Webb
You need screenshots on all the repos!
🛸 Lucian Marin
Done and done. I don't like to fill my repos with unneeded files, but a single screenshot.png will do it. Macreply 1.5 released.

I don't remember but I can't wait to check it out. A few weeks ago I had a chat with Helmut Esslinger about my systemSOFT concept. I think a post-desktop paradigm is needed but naming things is hard. systemsoft.works

Deno is dead so I made Ende (German for "end"): docs.ende.sh/runtime. Currently pushing up a new version of my database, Disc, to run on Ende as well.

I tried Bun on math.lucianmarin.com and it's terrible. It doubled the app size by using unneeded polyfills. Yes, the world needs a better and faster Node.
