About

I am a multiple-time bootstrapped founder with a passion for building products that solve the problems I face in my day-to-day life. Not all of my ventures have been successful but I have most definitely learnt a lot along the way. I'm now building Bex to solve my my greatest frustration as a Product Manager, updating documentation. Wouldn't it be a dream if after a long day of alignment calls, Slack huddles and quick decision making - all your PRDs and tickets were already updated based on what you discussed that day? Well that’s what we’re working on! Feel free to reach out if you want to hear more about our vision for Bex.

TIL that you can use the Claude Desktop App to install projects from GitHub. What will you install?

I have been a big fan of @Aqua Voice but do need something local for the times I don't have internet or am traveling. So I wanted to give @OpenWispr a try but didn't really want to go through the whole setup for it... so I gave @Claude for Desktopaccess to my files and computer and... it basically instantly installed the whole thing and got it working!
Then I asked it to package for me as a Mac app (.app) and what do you know... it did! Was honestly kind of amazing. There was one issue that I had to keep troubleshooting and that's sometimes Claude would reference the wrong environment or file... it could figure it out, but just something to pay attention too.

So now you can vibecode and quickly iterate on Open Source software using Claude Desktop, @Cursor, and @Warp. Use Claude to set it up, Cursor to iterate and build, then Warp to polish and debug.

Have there been any Open Source software that has scared you away but you might try install with this method?
