Neat idea. Ya, basically another app that would use the same Yaak foundations (app skeleton, themes, etc).

Working on a debug proxy app already.

What should the next app be in the Yaak suite?

I finally figured out a good way to support JSON comments

Yep. Great design there, Apple

Yep, it's really gone downhill lately. I hope they can improve stability.

I switched to Zed from IntelliJ a couple months ago due to how buggy it got. Now Zed is loaded with bugs so... back to IntelliJ!

Couldn't decide which MacBook Pro to get, so I got a Framework 13 instead

Saved $2k

The little things 👌🏼

I'm doing all that, yep. Yaak has a bunch of mentions so I'm not sure which one is popping off. 100+ visitors per day is pretty huge for organic Reddit traffic.

Wow.

I just had Codex create a new Yaak plugin and install it via the Yaak CLI.

The plugin? Just a dummy one to test the prompt.form() API via the command line.

Website sessions from Reddit growing quite a bit over the past month!

Wish it were possible to tell which post was sending the traffic 🕵🏼

Back to Claude I guess 🙌🏼

Just shipped a CLI this week! Includes JSON Schema descriptions too, so agents can take full advantage.

Ya, true. I think it'll take a long time for Yaak's market to die. By then, hopefully I will have pivoted, or earned enough to retire 😆

Agentic coding will kill Yaak eventually. I saw the first proof of this today.

I've been spinning on this thought for a while. I love the project but it's extremely demotivating to work on something you know is in a shrinking market.

In the world of AI agents, pen and paper is still the best way to take notes

February recap for @yaak.app

💹 MRR: $2,344 (+17%)
💰 Revenue: $8315 (+277%)
💼 Subscribers: 417 (+7%)

Revenue skyrocketed with the introduction of a lifetime plan ($299), combined with customer expansion.

Lifetime will taper off, so let's see how March goes 🙃

Turns out adding a lifetime license was a great idea. Selling like hotcakes!

I'll likely increase the price or discontinue lifetime in the future, but it's doing great at funding current development (what I was hoping)

Codex dumb today, or is it just me?

Realizing lately that I don't actually like the command line for anything. A well-crafted GUI is always better.

Probably the reason I've spent 20000+ hours building Curl wrappers 😅

No reason. I just don't have the need for them. My phone is basically just a camera and podcast player at this point.

I'm kinda locked into 1P because my parents use it 😭

Yes I use a Mac. I don't use Air Drop, screen mirroring, or anything else like that

I'm sure Apple Passwords is great but, even after 9 years of using Apple products I still refuse to use anything that locks me into their ecosystem.

No iMessage, Photos, Notes, Maps, Music, or Passwords.

Thinking of switching back to Android soon, and it's going to be so easy.

Plus the thing where they were breaking everyone's websites by injecting code, recently (didn't affect me)

Just so many little issues. Here are the last I can remember.

- vault filters randomly reset and start showing everything to me again
- last month, every time I tried opening the app, it would lock again after 5 seconds
- tried using the beta and it kept switching me back to the stable

It's not about the 1Password price increase is it?

Their software has been getting worse and worse over the past few years, and this is just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Not really. I released the paid plan about a year after launch. It's been a slow climb the whole time.

Okay Codex, I've never heard a dev say "after it soaks" when referring to a database migration.

Yes, @yaak.app and it was $50/year indie and $80/year business
