Day 14 of #100School (yes, I’m a few days behind!). I originally thought this course would be more of a refresher for me but I am amazed at the capabilities of Canvas and Gemini in Google Sheets. I hadn’t built anything in Canvas prior to this and seeing how quickly I could create a dynamic dashboard was pretty cool. Being able to analyze data conversationally within Google Sheets was also eye-opening. Excited to continue the journey!
There's a ton of stuff to track and remember as a working mom with two boys. Various activities, important school dates, household reminders, etc. It's easy to miss or forget things.
Last Thursday, I started the 30-day challenge and it already helped me create something that'll help offload some of my mental load each day. I had struggled to create a simple automation about a week ago using a no-code tool. Using two prompts from the challenge helped me refresh and kickstart the idea again, creating a delightful, personalized daily digest outlining my day each morning. It's a voice-first app I created with the help of ChatGPT (idea development), Claude (PRD development), and Replit's Agent 3 (app development). 💯

Just redesigned my small office space with a little help from BeautifulSpace.io No interior designer needed 😉 👉🏽beautifulspace.io/share/beau…
Another month, another build. This time I’m creating an app that will allow me to easily extract my kids’ various school calendar events from PDFs and emails, then sync to my Google calendar.
I devised my plan using Claude and I’ll be executing with Replit!
I thought all the Gemini 2.5 Pro talk was pure hype but it is miles upon miles ahead of the others when it comes to coding right now.
Just redesigned my space with a little help from BeautifulSpace.io! Loving how this turned out. What do you all think? ✨ #homedesign #interiordesign #BeautifulSpace res.cloudinary.com/datlocleo…
I told Chat GPT to stop being so nice and agreeing with everything I say. Now it starts every response with, ‘here’s the brutally honest truth’.
Big news. Would hate to lose Windsurf’s variety of LLM options available for coding though.

I am a big fan of simplicity when it comes to the tools I'm trying out lately.
The 'does one thing' product > The 'does everything' product
Yes, vibe-coded apps should take security seriously. But multi billion dollar companies get breached all the time too. Vibe coders should level up their security, but the overzealous critics could relax a little too. Instead of piling on, let’s be more supportive & constructive.
Just made some unnecessary-but-beautiful UI tweaks to @SubBlocksApp. No one asked. No one will notice. But I’m thriving. 😂
Does anyone know of a pop up tool of some sort that can ask a visitor why they are leaving your site when they go to close it?
Trying to use the various image generators to create an iOS app icon for Five. It seems the finger thing is still an issue. 😩
What I’m trying to knock out in the next 60 min before the kids wake up:
🛠️ Fix UI + limits for the reimagined iOS version of @iam5app
📱Post 1 meme to 3 accounts using @jackfriks’ 2x2 format
📰Draft 1 story for Thursday’s newsletter
Think I can pull it off?
Me: *Opens new chat* Hi Claude, can you help me with…?
Claude: Long chats cause you to reach your usage limits faster. Start a new chat.
