Designed in California

I'm very much enjoying the Designed in California podcast from Jason Snell and Myke Hurley. I got in on the Kickstarter they ran to make sure there was enough juice for the squeeze, but you can get in on the fun without all the nonsense of Kickstarter just by going to the Relay.fm page linked above!

I've followed Apple since the early 90's, but I didn't read most (any?) of the books. I have an unlistened Audible of the Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs and I buy the hardcover of Apple: The First 50 Years by David Pogue, which has it's own unfinished Audible purchase.

I'm not exactly sure why this podcast is more interesting than what it effectively the source material. Maybe it's the conversational tone Jason and Myke have. Maybe Jason distilled the best parts and left out the rest. All I know is that this series is phenomenal and I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Introducing Character Flow

Character Flow is a web app that let's you create a flow chart to help learn attack flows for your RPG characters. That's it, really. If you're an experienced RGP player, this likely isn't for you. The easiest way to explain it is to show it.

A sample view of building a character chart that's designed to help you learn what your character can do.

There's also a quick demo movie showing the building.

I built, wait...I directed the creation of this application. Claude Code did all the code. I did all the boring administavia of registering a domain, setting up a fly.io account, and all that kind of stuff. If anything that "AI" has touched is off limits for you, please know "AI" fingerprints are smeared all over this like a kid's Amazon Fire Tablet after a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's okay, you are free to have those thoughts and feelings.

It's not a terribly original idea, in fact Kat's DM suggested it to her, so she could learn the attacks of her characters and not be so stressed out during battle. She had tried to use the free version of LucidCharts through Google Docs and had something somewhat useful, but I thought a more focused app could do better. So, here we are.

There are no accounts. You do everything through persistent URLs. There are view only links for sharing your charts with others, so they don't mess them up. I don't keep any personal data. I don't want your name, your email, your phone number. I don't want anything, except feedback! If you have issues, suggestions, or kudos you can email feedback@characterflow.app.

Any other detais are better discovered by using the app.
