Terminal of the future

gm legends, happy Friday.

Today’s roundup: an email journaling tool that just pings your inbox so you can reply and call it a diary, a repo sidekick that feeds your AI coding tools the right slice of your code instead of random files, and a Mac terminal that keeps the shell but finally makes the window around it feel like an upgrade instead of a punishment.

Dabble Me is private email journaling for people who will never remember to open a journaling app. It sends you a prompt, you hit reply, type whatever happened, maybe add a photo, and that email becomes your entry. Past entries pop back into your inbox over time, so you get little “on this day” flashes without scrolling a timeline or touching a feed. 

🔥 Our Take: If your brain already lives in email, this is the path of least resistance. No new app, no streak guilt, just one message in your inbox asking how your day went and a quiet archive building up in the background.

Alex Cloudstar started a thread asking whether founders should share more about the projects that quietly died, not just the ones that make it to “we launched” posts. The general vibe from replies is yes: honest failure breakdowns compress learning, show the messy middle most people are actually in, and make “successful” founders feel more normal and reachable.

People point out that these stories help in both directions. The ecosystem gets real lessons on timing, assumptions, and bad bets to avoid, and the founder gets clarity, trust, and sometimes even help from someone who sees a missing piece like marketing. The thread is basically an open invite to be less precious about the stuff that didn’t work.

Repo Prompt scans your codebase and builds focused context windows for your AI coding tools. It picks out the files and symbols that actually matter for the task, then sends a tight summary to the model instead of a random pile of snippets. It works with the subs you already pay for and can run as an MCP server so editors like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex can plug into it.

🔥 Our Take: A lot of AI coding pain is just guessing what to paste in so the model does not hallucinate or rewrite the wrong file. Having a helper whose whole job is to feed it the right slice of the repo means fewer weird edits, fewer wasted tokens, and less copy paste theater in your editor.

Kuulto is a native macOS terminal that treats the CLI like a real app instead of a bare text box. You still run the same commands, but you get split panes, richer file previews, cleaner git views, quick system stats, built-in recording, and an optional AI helper when you forget flags or need to transform something fast.

🔥 Our Take: There is a gap between loving the command line and pretending the default window around it is good enough. Kuulto keeps the shell front and center, then smooths out the annoying bits with better visuals and tooling around it. You are still in a terminal, it just feels less like punishment.
