I built a desktop image editor in five weeks with Claude Code

On September 4 I started a ComfyUI custom node: a canvas with layers and selection tools, so I could fix AI generations without leaving my workflow. On September 7 it became a desktop app. Today, five weeks after that first commit, Scumble is on its 43rd release, in the Microsoft Store, and edits 15,000-pixel pictures without freezing. I didn't type most of that code. Claude Code did. My job was deciding what to build, testing it with my own pictures, and saying "no, not like that" a lot. Thi...

Build a Receipt Card Before a Vibe-Coded CLI Leaves Scratch

Tonight I am writing a gate, not a victory lap. The fixture is a small CLI draft on a scratch branch. A free model may write that first pass. One sample run can still print a neat table. Would you merge on that smile alone? I would not ship it on a smile. DEV is full of vibe-code arguments this week. I am not relitigating portfolios or website taste. My fight is smaller, and meaner. A solo CLI can look finished after one lucky run. Where is the receipt that proves you can leave? T...

Decoding the CSS Cascade: How Browsers Resolve Conflicting Declarations

Ever added a CSS rule, sure it should apply, but the browser stubbornly sticks to the old style? You tweak selectors, add !important , but still something else wins that you didn’t expect. I’ve been there more times than I care to count. CSS feels simple at first: write a selector, set a property, watch the change. But once your stylesheets grow, frameworks pile on layers, and browsers juggle conflicting declarations, things get messy. The secret sauce behind it all is the CSS cascade , t...

Connecting Zenn to a GitHub Repository: The Setup Steps and Two Pitfalls

Introduction In my previous article , I introduced a pipeline that cross-posts from a single GitHub repository to Zenn, dev.to, and velog. I briefly touched on Zenn's GitHub integration there, but that part was actually where I stumbled first. In this post, I'll zoom in on just the integration: the correct setup steps, and the two pitfalls I actually ran into. If you follow the steps in this order, you should be able to avoid the same swamps. (For context: Zenn is one of the most popular...
