The vibe coding continues, but it’s so good! Now got a friend signed up to Claude and he’s been making a chrome extension for syncing his radio with webSDRs and it all works well.

My latest is a trip planner but requires using external sites to work out details, then I just put all the data into my site. I’m debating if I want to try and build in those capabilities - like Google maps routing for driving and plotting tracks on maps - or just leave it. It requires no effort on my part to ask Claude but I feel like it’ll end up being a lot more than I think, so many edge cases to sort out. Maybe the car routing is okay as you always drive on roads! But walking tracks don’t always follow paths.

There are other things I want to do, so maybe I’ll leave it for now and can always come back to it.

The boys want me to play Minecraft with them, but since the laptop is now Linux we can’t used bedrock Minecraft - which lets us all share one Minecraft game across multiple Microsoft accounts. We have to use Java and that means everyone needs their own copy of the game. 🙄 However, the Java version has a lot more mods and customisation…I wonder if there’s a claude plug in 😅
