It’s by no means been extra enjoyable to have an concept.

My home has became a bit maker hub. My fiancée and I’ve been utilizing Claude’s Fable and ChatGPT’s Astra to construct issues we truly wish to use… And we’re having an unreasonable quantity of enjoyable 😅

Here’s three apps I’ve constructed for myself over the previous few days:

#1 – Bloom

Remember Tamagotchis? I needed one on my cellphone that responded to how I used to be taking care of myself, connecting it to my display time and Apple Health knowledge.

So I simply… constructed it. It’s referred to as Bloom, and as an alternative of a pet now we have Planty.

He’s a bit clay sunflower with a lifetime of his personal. I began with sketches and references, then used ChatGPT’s Astra and Blender to carry him to life.

Bloom was created in only over every week and easily works.

#2 – Soar

I needed someplace to carry collectively my exercises, sleep, restoration and padel matches. Including a journal to report how I felt after enjoying, so I may begin recognizing after I play greatest.

I’m on a quest to stage 3 on Playtomic so needed a devoted place that I may see the scoreboard for all of this in a single single place.

I additionally had very specific concepts about the way it ought to feel and look. There are apps that do elements of this, however I needed that mixture, designed my manner. So I constructed it. And it’s a delight to make use of and most significantly very helpful.

#3 – The DJ

Finally, I made myself a morning newspaper: The DJ.

Every morning, Claude gathers the information I care about, alongside studying and podcast suggestions. On Saturday, it picked an Acquired episode on Ferrari as a result of it was Monza weekend.

My laptop computer doesn’t have to be open. I don’t have to ship a immediate. I simply get up and skim my paper. It’s already diminished how a lot I depend on X and a number of apps to maintain up.

This is what I hadn’t totally appreciated till the previous couple of weeks: how tailor-made these creations might be.

Now I (and also you pricey reader) could make one thing round a small frustration or a really private concept, then maintain iterating it till it’s a pleasure to make use of.

I could also be 2x busier however I’m having 20x extra enjoyable.

To September 2027 Damian: I hope you’re nonetheless having this a lot enjoyable. And that you just’ve made it to stage 3 on Playtomic.
