This is great. I hadn't heard of MCP Apps — pulling an interface into the LLM could be really useful. I'll trying it.

Been finding some tasks are better inside Claude or ChatGPT chat window, like brainstorming names. I ended up building an MCP for domain lookups (https://namebrewery.com). It lets me go back and forth, branch on different preferences, and steer the LLM toward a name I like, and still available as a dot com.

The examples in your repo have given me some other ideas to try out.

- https://namebrewery.com: An MCP for looking up domain name availability. Brainstorming names within the LLM has been great and now I can have it do the registrar look ups from within the LLM too.

- https://altitag.com: A real estate photographer can upload a drone photo and get points of interest pins overlaid on the photo using EXIF data. The annotations help provide some nice neighborhood context without needing to open up Photoshop.

i send them an iphone mini request every once in a while through the feedback form hoping it will make a little bit of difference: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

still holding on to iphone 13 mini hoping they bring back the perfect size. also trying very hard not to accidentally fat finger a ios 26 update.

Also a big fan of the Uniball, perviously was using Signo DXs, but have switched over to the Uniball One. I think that slightly thicker barrel helps with my handwriting. Also love the wire pocket clip.

I do like the Rotring pencils over the pens, but still prefer Uni as I feel less bad about losing a Uni Kuru as it is cheaper and still has knurled grip. Also has a fun rotating lead.

Been using this client for a few months and am pretty happy with it.

Have looked for a replacement for Adium for quite a while and Nova Chat is looking like it will be it. So much relief from not having to juggle multiple desktop chat clients and mobile notifications.

Looking forward to the upcoming features! App is getting some nice updates every few weeks.

Agreed. Sam and all the other YC partners will go out of their way to help, it's just often not public.
