Love my X4. Shameless plug, I also built an iOS/Android app to manage books and also send web articles over to Crosspoint

Thank you. I'm not the biggest fan of the Crosspoint web interface, so I'll definitely give this a try.


Aren’t Turbulators doing similar thing i.e. its keeps the boundary layer for longer before it totally turns into turbulent layer?


I love this device and the firmware. It has increased the amount I read now, just because it's convenient to have all the time and use it instead of doom scrolling.

P.S: Shameless plug, I also built an OSS iOS/Android app to help syncing files and clipping web articles/blog and sending to X4 on the go https://crosspointsync.com/


Cool app! Have you considered integrating with Readwise Reader? I would love something like that.


I have the exact same setup and editor for me is just neovim as I can easily see changes (lazygit) and make small tweaks. The only thing I’m missing in my workflow is some isolation for running claude so I can let it go without having to approve tools.


For a container-based sandbox in tmux, see workmux and its sandboxing feature.

The added isolation does come with some friction though, which is kind of by design.


Can you please share sources, would love to read about it more.


Asked an AI to find sources. At first it claimed these were fabricated and not true. When prompted to verify, it found these links and said all points had some truth to it.

One month ago, I purchased this small eink reader (Xteink 4) and I've been loving reading on that device. It made me read much more in the past month (already more than 50% through Fall or Dodge in Hell).

The stock firmware is horrible but the community has this firmware called CrossPoint. I wanted to be able to upload, manage files etc. from my iPhone on the go and also send over web articles. So I build this app CrossPoint Sync https://crosspointsync.com to do just that.

I've already published it on App Store and pending publishing on Android. The community is niche and has also been using the app, so its been fun building for my use and in turn also getting good feedback from community.

If you are using the Xteink and CrossPoint firmware, then give the app a try.

I loved the GPU puzzles, after completing all of them, I wished there were more. Learnt a bunch in process.


I was trying out an MCP tool and hit few issues, even though there is MCP inspector which sets up a webserver etc. I wanted much simpler tool I can use in SSH environment, so I built (with Claude Code) a terminal tool to proxy any stdio MCP server and then use the monitor TUI to see all the flow of calls between MCP client and server. Its been helpful to learn thing about MCP as you see the flow of calls happening and inspect them.

I love Kobo for that. I hooked UART with a Variometer (measure rate of climb in aircraft) and use it in glider soaring as a flight computer (good contrast on sunny day)

I think Aider (https://aider.chat/) is what you are looking for.


Thanks, that's definitely directionally correct. (And if it turns out to not be quite what I'm looking for, it's probably enough to find alternatives.)
