"Super" excited - pun intended - to launch @supernormal_bio on @ProductHunt tomorrow. Another personal hack I'm using daily. Live recovery budget for your Apple Watch that depletes as you push, earns back when you rest, and adjusts to your biology not population averages.

Juggling the kids while transitioning from work…
Have an Apple Watch. Was about to buy a dedicated recovery wearable. Didn't want to wear 2 devices or drop $200/year. Looked into it more. The gap is mostly software. So I built the software. Used Claude to help implement the recovery algorithms. App Store review pending.

(cont'd) [...] Illness detection via multi-signal divergence. Respiratory rate trending. Resting heart rate baselines. Everything is calibrated to you specifically - age, biological sex, VO2 max, body composition. The same signals dedicated wearables already use!

Also, whatever I built had to be 100% on device. No account. No servers. No personal health data leaving your phone. The Apple Watch and iPhone do all the computation locally. Always.

I connected my brain signals (EEG headset) to a browser and used live attention data to simplify content when I drift and highlight it when I’m focused. Been thinking a lot about AI vs UI lately. What if interfaces adapted to what’s happening in your head open.substack.com/pub/public…

Bought an EEG headset and used Codex to stream it on my Mac without the official app by building our own bridge, then exposed it as a real-time web API for live focus/calm values in any app. Vibe coding a "neuro-dynamic" web browser this weekend for Public Proofs

Just setup @nutgrafe. Surprisingly, the handle wasn’t taken. Follow along for updates.
Now on X. Kicking things off with a new announcement: starting tomorrow at 9 AM ET, Nutgrafe Daily hits your inbox. 1000s of articles are read each day and distilled into a short, clear briefing of what matters, with links to the original reporting. Free. No account needed.

Naturally, as soon as I publish a post explaining Nutgrafe’s AI pipeline, my inference quota gets hit. Downtime was from 12:30–3:30 PM ET. Switched models from GPT5 mini to Gemini 3 Pro and things are humming again. Give it 1–2 hours to re-summarize the missed articles.
I just published a Substack post explaining why I built Nutgrafe and how its AI pipeline works. Check it out if you’re interested! open.substack.com/pub/public…

Shipped a small but important update to Nutgrafe. Readers can now flag a summary if it feels incomplete, and that context is shown directly on the article. Transparency beats pretending AI never gets things wrong, and it helps improve accuracy over time. nutgrafe.com

Launching on @ProductHunt tmrw. Nutgrafe is my latest hobby build over the past few days. It reads articles from top news sites and writes a short "nutgraf" for each one, the paragraph that explains what the story is about and why it matters. Have a peek: nutgrafe.com/
