TL;DR: housekeeping
how can this project be simplified?
any option is "on the table".
must still host on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
consider host performance and screen record quality.
write SIMPLIFY.draft.md with tasks in recommended order.
Time passes.
implement 1-5.
That'll give Claude Opus time to cook while I do chores.
I have no idea what problems it's trying to solve, but it's doing it all day. Disk keeps filling up with operating system installer images.
I stumbled across a video that points to a library catalog filter that has some overlapping problem space. I offered to collaborate. It reminded me of my years writing client/server code for the University Library, right around NeXTstep's heyday.
In case the fellah looks at my work, I'd better fix some bugs. Claude and I ran the app under Instruments and uncovered a SwiftUI rearrangement to making switching views faster. All I had to do was click a few times and try to keep up with the technobabble. I kid; I understood at least half of what it described. I'm reconsidering the succinctness level I've set TARS.
I'm also not at my best engineering at the moment as I passed the Ballmer Peak a few Senate seats ago.
