Update 3/31/2025: I have made changes to my MCP setup since posting this. I open-sourced the changes here . Anthropic launched the open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) on 11/25/24 and it’s a total game-changer!

Here’s a little micro app I put together as part of my latest vibe coding experiment—it’s designed to help you learn the box breathing technique. If you’re not familiar, box breathing is a simple, powerful method used by Navy SEALs to relax quickly and fall asleep fast. There’s actually some solid science backing its effectiveness! I integrated the ElevenLabs voice API to handle the audio instructions. Sound editing turned out to be trickier than expected, even with AI-generated audio. While there’s definitely room to grow and refine, I’m pretty happy with this starting point. ...

We’re on the cusp of an exciting era in app development, where AI is making it possible to create powerful, focused apps that solve everyday problems without the complexity of traditional apps. I call these “AI Microapps,” and I believe they have the potential to disrupt incumbent players who are often slow to adopt cutting-edge AI features due to the constraints of their existing user base. ...
