Claude Code runs in your terminal and works with your local files.

Here’s the backstory:

In 2017, what was supposed to be a relaxing surfing trip to Sri Lanka turned into the beginning of a two-year battle with anxiety and depression. One morning, I hit my foot on an underwater stone while surfing. At first, it seemed like a minor bruise, but the warm, humid climate slowed the healing, and it developed into a severe infection.

When I got back home, I could barely walk without pain. After months of antibiotics and treatments, the infection finally healed—but by then, anxiety and depression had taken over. I started experiencing constant shortness of breath and heart palpitations, even during light exercise. I spent countless hours in doctor’s offices, undergoing tests, but was always told I was “fine.”

I’ll never forget the worst moments—lying awake at night, convinced I was having a heart attack, rushing to the ER only to hear the same thing: “Your heart is fine.” The fear didn’t go away, and I felt more trapped than ever. For nearly two years, I struggled to find answers and solutions. Medications didn’t help me. In fact, they just made things worse and left me feeling numb and brain-fogged.

It took time and a lot of adjustments, but I eventually managed to completely overcome anxiety and depression. It’s been more than 5 years now, and I’m feeling better than ever. I still vividly remember the incredible moment when my natural serotonin production restarted after gradually coming off the meds. I began waking up happy and energised instead of totally depressed and exhausted. Even simple things, like listening to music, gave me happy tingles I hadn’t felt in years.

Looking back, I realised how much faster I could have recovered if I’d had the right knowledge from the start. One of the main turning points for me was recognising the importance of my gut microbiome and how it impacted my mental state. This led me to methods for uncovering and tackling the deeper causes of my anxiety—not just managing the symptoms. Understanding how my anxiety triggers worked and learning to neutralise them gave me the clarity and tools I needed to finally move forward.

As I got better, I started noticing more and more TikTok and Instagram videos about anxiety, and what struck me the most were the comment sections. So many people were sharing their struggles—describing their debilitating anxiety symptoms, and expressing how lost they felt in finding answers. It reminded me so much of my own painful journey and made me think that perhaps I should compile my insights and share what helped me recover.

So I decided to team up with clinical psychologists and make an app that I wish I had when my anxiety & depression kicked in. The goal is to help others avoid the trial-and-error I went through and provide tools to manage anxiety that are based in the latest research.

Furthermore, a University of Toronto study revealed that 72% of participants fully recovered from anxiety when following well-rounded treatment plans, showing that most people can find their way to recovery. These principles became the foundation of Calmer.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with anxiety, and answer any questions—your feedback can help us improve the app and reach more people in need.

100% AI for the cover photo. If you look at their other blog posts it looks like Uber eng doesn't care. They use lazy AI generated images (not even decent attempts at it) for all blog post cover images.

Also, it’s by far the smallest-budget movie to win a Golden Globe – 10x less than the next animated Golden Globe winner.

Here are more details about the movie if you are curious:

Amazing movie by the way. It's been in cinemas here in Latvia for 5 months already and been sold out ever since.

Well they just launched today so I'd assume that is the main reason behind low rankings. It will get up there soon.

Yeah you are actually right, thanks. Didn't notice it.

This is a great app. I've also been looking for a better image search for iPhone.

The only thing that I think could be improved - allow loading original images in the search results. If you are using iCloud to store the images then only the small cached versions are returned.

The website clearly states the requirements:

- iOS 16.0 or above

- iPhone 11 (A13 chip) or later models

Hopefully you forgot to exclude 3sec timeout from that

Thank you.

Done, thanks

Latvia has a similar corporate income tax model which is also good for reinvesting. Essentially 0% corporate income tax until you want to pay out.

I've launched a couple of startups, and usually the combinations of these yield the best results -> word of mouth, reddit comments/posts, quora answers, hackernews posts/comments, comments on top SERPs, twitter posts + following leads, get listed on comparison/review sites or blog posts.

Of course comment when relevant, offer something useful and contribute to the discussion. Don't just spam link to your startup.

Why isn't this the default interface? It's so much more pleasant and faster than their main web UI.

Awesome project, love the idea!

It's fun to optimize the code under 140 bytes. https://www.dwitter.net/d/832

"Low development overhead" was taken from parent comment, but I understood that it means how productive and fast it is to write code/develop something in Scala.

Probably depends on the code base, but having worked with Scala for a few years, there are a lot of things that causes development overhead. First things that come to mind: slow compile times, there are usually several ways to do one thing and also docs/guides are inconsistent, overused operator overloading in libraries (almost have to learn new DSL syntax for some libs), and it is not always easy to comprehend code by other developers.

A small side note: Scala has several great features, but "low development overhead" just isn't one of them. Also why so harsh on Go?

Thanks! Yep, the desktop app is built on top of Electron. The backend is developed in Scala and Play framework.

Stored procedures are not yet available, but new features are constantly being added to Datazenit and we could add this in one of the upcoming releases. If you are interested in trying out the tool, I would love to hear your feedback. You can reach me at lauris@datazenit.com.

I had similar feeling about DataGrip when I first tried it out, but it still feels a bit outdated.

So I am currently working on Datazenit[0] that takes a bit different approach than most regular tools. It's a database GUI for MySQL and PostgreSQL, available for both desktop and web. It's lightweight yet introduces a few unique features like data visualization, query/connection/chart sharing with team members, query builder, database content editor with specific editors for different data types and so on. There is still a lot of work to be done, but many of the users are already using it daily for their database administration needs.

Good point. Meanwhile some additional screenshots can be found in the official announcement blog post[0]

Sorry for any inconvenience, I was just testing different titles and will keep this in mind.

If you like Handsontable, you may also be interested in Sensei Grid[0], a similar, but much simpler data grid component. It doesn't aim to be a spreadsheet/excel alternative, but just a data grid with good usability.

I completely agree about a need for cross-platform, cross-database tool. For exactly that reason I started building Datazenit[0]. It runs in a browser and currently supports MySQL and PostgreSQL. Datazenit is in beta testing right now, but you can sign up and give it a try.

Speaking about db tools that run in a browser, have you checked out Datazenit? It has handy data grid, query builder, keyboard navigation everywhere, charts/visualizations and a lot of other features.
