After months of tinkering, I'm sharing Synapse: a free, open source notes app for macOS that opens any folder of markdown files, git-backed, with a built-in Claude Code-ready terminal
Genuinely useful for me to collaborate with others on commands, skills, agent instructions, etc, without all of the fiddly Git friction and BS. Just spin up a workspace, give people the invite link, evolve it, and export at the end. We can then maintain a source-of-truth around these docs and improve them over time.
Annoyed with paid services that charge you to bring your own API key (getvoila.ai), I partnered with Claude Code and made my own and open sourced it. Enjoy!

A "bring your own key" Firefox extension that provides quick access to LLM assistants (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) via a keyboard shortcut, with full page context.
Features:
- Quick access: Press `Ctrl+J` to open the assistant overlay on any webpage
- Multiple providers: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini
- Page context: Use `@page` in your prompt to include the current page's content
- Markdown rendering: Responses are rendered with full markdown support (code blocks, lists, etc.)
- Session memory: Conversations persist within a session (cleared when you close the popup)
- Streaming responses: See responses as they're generated in real-time
"Sometimes I get really anxious about not knowing about some of my gamer friends outcomes. Some people just fall off and you hope the best but like... Whose mom is letting their Xbox friends know about Timmy y'know?"
This inspired me to start building Little Planets. It's a way to spin up your own hyper-local, hyper-focused social network with a single click. No fuss, no accounts required from anyone. I'm super excited about it. Just launching the beta today.
I imagine eventually your phone will be also able to do these spatial video recordings so the functionally on the headset will fade into the background as a fringe use for passively capturing something while you happened to have the headset on (and enjoying the spatial videos you captured with your phone)
