As an alternative to the Writing Tools proofreading macro I showed in yesterday’s post, I built another one, called Proofread With Claude, which gets the edited text through a call to Anthropic’s Claude API. I make the call in Python...
Yes, it’s been less than a week since I wrote about LLM proofreading and showed you the “final” version of the Keyboard Maestro macro I’d been using. And that wasn’t a lie because it is the final version of that macro. It’s just that I’m...

I ran into an example of especially bad design on a web page yesterday. Not “how it looks” design; “how it works” design. Here’s an excerpt from an online payment page: Looks straightforward, right? Just click in the field, type in the...
