After using this for a couple days, one issue I've been having is the various agents don't seem to have context on anything the other agents do. So if I don't explicitly invoke an agent, it might use the wrong one and it will try to re-do something or be stuck in a past state. Feels a bit cumbersome

Started playing around with Claude sub agents in an iOS project. Instead of just relying on a single CLAUDE md for the project context, I’m feeding instructions to specialized personalities—getting noticeably better results. Highly recommend giving it a shot if you use Claude Code.

Love when user feedback leads to simple changes that make a huge difference! 🙌

Shout out to Exceptional7468 for the App Store review suggesting these fine-tuning arrows for the met bpm. Sometimes the smallest features have the biggest impact on usability ✨

Coming soon 👀

Subdivision Muting is here.

Turn individual subdivisions on or off in both the metronome and tracks. Build the exact pulse you need to lock in your timing and sharpen your practice.

Update now and try it out.

Quick prototype of a new @subdivide.app feature in the works. Mute individual subdivision notes to create whatever rhythm you want. UI is extremely placeholder, but you get the idea 🙂

I've been thinking about how simple, free tools can potentially be used to promote/advertise a more feature-filled app.

Very work-in-progress piece of a web tool related to @subdivide.app that I'm working on.

Building an app in a crowded field Why create an app when there are already hundreds of others that do something similar?

Some thoughts on building new products when it can feel like everything has already been made.

Playing around with some custom product view styles for StoreKit

An introduction I left a stable, high-paying job as a software engineer almost two years ago.

I started writing more long-form thoughts on Substack:

🚀 New feature: Track Speed Control

With Track Speed Control, you can slow down or speed up any track—without changing the pitch. Perfect for locking in tricky passages or ramping up to performance speed.

Practice at your own pace, download the latest update from the App Store.

Work in progress of a new feature for @subdivide.app. The speed multiplier makes it easier to learn a piece of music by starting out slow, or work on mastering an exercise by speeding it up.

Some thoughts on practicing music with tempo changes and how @subdivide.app can make it a lot easier.
