main reason why I might not going to get another apple watch: my favorite watch face was REMOVED from library and I realised after full reset of my watch.

Recently I started uploading ym bike rides and needed tool to generate timetable/chapters out of my route.
At first I made script then improved it with copilot and eventually converted into react app using github copilot.
After watching this, I'm not going to use superglue without gloves ever! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni82...

Copilot really bad with C++ as for me.

Iβve seen mentions on forums about getting it down to 125β200MB, but Im not there yet.
amazing tool squoosh.app
lots of options to compress images!
On the finish line with features in my habit app. Added feature times per day to habits.
Replaced my callisthenics practice habit with some countable habits. Got a nice counter element. Tomorrow I will make a short video on how it works.
