Managed to put another 20 minute read article together, which is so large, it’s almost impossible to read if your attention span isn’t at “I read documentation for fun” levels.
Well, I guess I can never learn my lesson. I always end up writing book chapter-sized posts. ๐

Made a quick and dirty todo app with a MCP connection. So I can easily manage all the todos Claude adds for the project.
Other than that, rolled out a bunch of smaller fixes and tweaks for Old Light. Looking forward to building bigger things again for it.
