Finally launched something i've been working on for about 5 months at developin.com :) it's basically Patreon but for software devs + projects. Glad it's finally "out there" for the world to see and enjoy!

Trying to get to grips with iOS 26 has not been too difficult except I couldn't get toolbar buttons to be tinted and round... but I figured it out! Honestly got me more excited than it should have but it's a thing of beauty when it works!

I added two new tricky features to my new app - streaming long-taking response via WebSockets, and exports to docx+pdf.

Then I deployed them on production and neither worked.

It took a long frustrating time to make it work:

  • exporting had some problems with missing fonts for LaTeX, and randomly adding more and more system packages finally solved that, but I'm still unsure which are needed
  • WebSockets were not working because of Apache misconfiguration, which we finally found.

I'm not completely happy with the outcome (having a lot of packages I don't even know if I need), but it's still a win - we go two important features to our users in time for beta testing!

Tried 2 projects for the Runner H AI Agent prompting Challenge. πŸ˜‡

  1. The first one didn't work out as I wanted it to. May be I should've posted the overall experience on that anyway! πŸ€”

  2. The second one worked. It's about automating social media content idea generation and brain storming, leveraging multiple features of Runner H including web search.

What's my win this week? πŸŽ‰ It's definitely participating in and successfully submitting my project to the Runner H AI Agent Prompting Challenge!

It's been an absolutely amazing experience diving deep into autonomous AI agents. My entry, "The Strategic Navigator: Autonomous Competitor and Trend Analysis Agent," is currently in the judging phase. Regardless of the outcome, the journey of building this solution and pushing creative boundaries with Runner H has been a huge win for me!

Check out my project here:
The Strategic Navigator on DEV.to

Feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunity and excited for what's next in the world of AI agents!
