It's not uncommon for projects of mine to spiral out of control, but this one could be the biggest yet. I started building a database of phone testing data that I was collecting for reviews. After months of building, this is what that's turned in to. bandicootlab.com

I have a few favorite features. For starters, I have a chart builder that uses my data and can be embedded on your website. bandicootlab.com/chart-build…

I have a Find Your Phone feature. This is where you can basically bypass my subjective score weightings and build your own. There's a basic mode, which lets you choose weightings of parent scores. And there's an Advanced Mode that includes sub-scores! bandicootlab.com/find-your-p…

Had a lot of fun trying out different vibe-coding skills and giving making stuff without much coding experience a shot. Definitely see it as the future for 99% of software development. mashable.com/article/how-to-… #coding #vibecoding #AI

I don’t know how to combat this except to get off @Cision database which I’m working on. I’m a tech reporter. I don’t know who changed my Cision profile to say that I cover general “retailing,” but I don’t. Tech pitches only please.

A reminder to companies to please not send unsolicited stuff to my house. Or, to my old house, where I no longer live.

Initial Google Pixel Fold reactions: - I love the passport-style foldable from-factor - There are some software tweaks that I don’t love. I wish the Home Screen just spread out the app icons instead of using two screens worth. - Build feels MOSTLY strong.

Generally, it’s one of my favorite foldable so far. Only a few hours into using it though!

Very curious to see how and if #InstagramThreads ends up becoming the defacto Twitter replacement. No mention of #ActivityPub in the listing, who knows if that rumor will turn out to be true. apps.apple.com/us/app/thread…
