A /now page — what I'm up to at the moment

/now

Updated Mar 14, 2026, while shipping PacketManifest to the App Store and switching to macOS + iTerm2 as my daily driver.

Tinkering

I submitted PacketManifest to the App Store — an iOS network connection monitor that captures outbound traffic via a local VPN tunnel and plots it on a live world map. Currently in review. Built the support and privacy pages at /packetmanifest/support/ and /packetmanifest/privacy/, and added a full /apps section to the site to house it and whatever comes next.

I switched my daily driver to macOS and iTerm2. Still running Arch Linux for tinkering and guide validation, but the day-to-day development work is now on Mac. The two setups complement each other better than I expected.

I reorganized swf.wtf: slimmed the homepage post list, moved the visitor card to the bottom as a discoverable easter egg, and grouped the links section into Apps / Projects / Guides / Elsewhere.

Writing next

Posts I'm actively working on or threatening to finish:

Arch Linux on bare metal, Omarchy-style, after validating the full flow in VirtualBox
Why I switched from VS Code to Neovim and actually stuck with it
macOS setup guide — iTerm2, Homebrew, dotfiles, and making it feel like home for a Linux person
How I keep Claude AI, Claude Code, and Codex from stepping on each other in one repo

No promises on order or timeline. I write when I have something worth saying and enough coffee to say it coherently.

Elsewhere
