Context, not a position. Written May 2025, Better Than Good. For what’s current, see https://garrettwinder.com/agents.md. This week I reached the part of making stuff where all of the sudden you don’t have much to do. Aside from spending a few more days in polish-town, shipping is upon us for [Braindrop for Mac beta](https://braindrop.app). Here, have yourself another teaser:

A few highlights from the week: - The second edition of the Braindrop marketing website is underway and Phil clearly had some unicorns helping him - Finished some big Braindrop chunks: completed settings, file auto-uploading and better error handling. - I updated all of the Weeknote titles from the 'Weeknotes: 5 to 9 May 2025' format to less robotic names like '[Weeknotes vol. 10: Back in the CSSaddle](/betterthangood/weeknotes-10/)' (Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking before). - Continuing to brainstorm on app two and should have some rough sketches completed next week to help shape it up. Hoping to start development in June... more soon! - As of this week, Braindrop will also work as a [progressive web app](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app) and can be installed directly from any browser. - I ran into [this article](https://www.cerbos.dev/blog/role-based-access-control-ruby) about Role-Based Access Control, which feels novel in the context of making software but reminded me that CMS people had this figured out all along. - Upgraded to Ruby 3.4.4 May the thirtieth be with you.
