Meet Datatype, my new font that turns text into charts. Available on Google Fonts and of course in Workspace.
Simple syntax like {b:10,25,7,95} turns into sparklines, pie charts, and bar charts that look great in your docs, slides, and sheets.

You have been finally liberated: you write Ruby, not For The Man, but for yourself. For no one's benefit other than your own.

Your freedom is here! Long live Ruby!

Finally got my Roon "Now Playing" menu bar app working!
Built the bulk of it with Claude Code, but got stuck on authorizing the extension in Roon. Fired up @kilocode as an experiment and—boom!—it found the issue right away.
Stack: Rust (Tauri) + Node (Tauri Sidecar) + Roon API
