Show notes

It's Tray-Tober! Carl and Richard talk to Joe Finney about his latest project - building small, useful Windows apps that live in the system tray. Joe talks about his original project inspiration, Radio Tray - a way to have internet radio playing on his PC without creating a whole browser instance, because he needs that memory for AI! The conversation digs into how code is no longer the barrier to building; it's all about good ideas. What could the system tray do for you? Tray-Tober is about finding out - check out Tray Land on GitHub!
