Every now and then I build a demo for a presentation and think to myself - this deserves its own blog post. I then promptly forget to actually do that. Even better, I completely forget to even show the demo in the presentation. A few weeks ago I made my first presentation at RenderATL and gave my talk on Chrome's on-device AI technology. I've been blogging about this particular set of APIs for a few years now and I've given talks on it at numerous conferences. While these APIs are still evolving, many of them (and the ones I'm using today in particular) are now fully GA for Chrome. For this demo, I put together a few things I've done before into one cohesive tool - a completely client-side application that lets you pick a file, get a summary, and then chat with it.
As you can probably tell, I've been on a bit of a builder kick the last few weeks. Today's "release" (it's been live for a few days already) is a tool to help fix a manual process we had in our family - tracking allowance for the kids.
I know I'm not alone in being a bit of a weather nerd. Along with four or five weather apps on my phone, I've got two physical devices in my office that show the weather and a weather widget on my Mac that shows the day's forecast. That's not enough. What I really wanted was a radar widget as well, so I built one:
Good morning my fabulous readers. This will be a quick post as I just wanted to share something cool I built with Cursor over the past couple of days - a LEGO screensaver. I'm a huge fan of "show me something random from something I like" and have built multiple bots in that vein. I recently discovered Rebrickable's LEGO datasets which contains a CSV file of LEGO sets. The data looks like so:
Greetings, programs. Once again, I'm a bit behind on these posts, but I just got back from two weeks of travel and I'm so happy to be home for a while. My last trip was pretty stressful. On the way out, our plane blew a tire (or tires) which required an emergency landing in Dallas (which is where we were scheduled to stop anyway). Everything ended up fine, but as I said, stressful. Then coming home we were minutes from our destination when the pilot had to turn around due to storms. You can actually see exactly where in the route where they said NOPE:
I've shared a few posts recently talking about how I'm using Cursor to learn and employ agentic development. Primarily that work has all been done via our Agent view, but this is just one of the surfaces you can use with the platform. I had a chance recently to try out the SDK and I thought I'd share a little demo I built with it.
