A little menu bar app for Mac to track subscription and credit usage for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Figma accounts, so you don’t need to fiddle around to find the information. Just that, no dashboard or stats. November 4, 2026 — Raycast released something similar…https://trognon.space/a-menu-bar-app-for-my-ai-subscriptions/https://trognon.space/a-menu-bar-app-for-my-ai-subscriptions/Sat, 31 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTSide projectClaude, ChatGPT/Codex and Figma usage in the menu bar, from the logins already on the Mac. Raycast released something similar just a few days later, but it doesn’t have multi-account or Figma support. Plus, you can’t display multiple items at once, though I suppose you can see your Raycast credits if you care about that. 🤷‍♂️ Just a small utility I vibe-coded for myself. It's on GitHub in case…https://trognon.space/2026-10-29/https://trognon.space/2026-10-29/Thu, 29 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTUpdateNouveau CMS... nouveau moi 🥸 : le site tourne maintenant sur Obsidian Publish. Plutôt que de faire un gros dump après trois mois d’absence, je vais égrener les nouveautés. Pas de promesse de régularité cette fois. J’ai emménagé dans un nouvel appartement à Montreuil avec Mimi, et trouvé mon alternance chez Affluences en tant que lead UX/UI designer. J’y suis depuis presque deux mois.

It has been an interesting experience building a document editor and dealing with the balance between the canvas and panel editing. It started as a quick throw-together side project, but with refinement, it has become a great companion piece for my work and study…https://trognon.space/cv-machine-2026/https://trognon.space/cv-machine-2026/Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTSide projectFirst stable release, mostly to bring the project to a close before it hibernates. The data format is frozen. Adds storage in a local directory and a header that can lead with the title; fixes the reading order of section headings in the PDF. First public version, hosted with one version per subdomain and a nightly alongside. A child document: its overrides on the left, the canvas, the…https://trognon.space/ai-is-already-a-black-box-dont-make-it-worse/https://trognon.space/ai-is-already-a-black-box-dont-make-it-worse/Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMTEntryNotion recently announced they're shutting down their mail client. As a goodbye, they pushed users toward Notion Agents as a replacement. Offering a pure AI product where a well-designed interface should have been got me thinking more broadly about how AI tends to get deployed like everything is just a chat. The clearest example I can offer is right inside Notion: formula properties.

The new version is already in the works, and it shouldn’t take months.

The biggest update since 1.0: Windows and Linux keyboards, AZERTY, and keys that read like the real ones. Keycaps are out of beta: the same keys as the keyboard, and a few ways to say more than one shortcut. The export now looks like the page: same case, same grid, same glassy keys, in dark or light.

It's also a quick reference for useful shortcuts like quick search that use Raycast's built-in functions. Design philosophy Before diving into my basic setup (app + keyboard shortcut thought Raycast), a little bit of intent needs to be explicit.

I picked the project back up and made a cleaner itch.io version, with an integrated translation. I have greatly expanded the project blog post to turn it into a case study, with more insight into the process. There is still a section on the spawn system that I would like to detail in the future.

The gallery now delivers all images from a CDN: faster loads, cleaner display in both grid and fullscreen, with no compromise on visual quality. The content model has been rebuilt from the ground up: a better pipeline from source image to live gallery, and a new architecture for albums, series, and curation. Most of it isn’t exposed yet; v2.2…https://trognon.space/brain-activity-2022/https://trognon.space/brain-activity-2022/Sat, 13 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMTSide projectThe latest version is now hosted on itch.io ifarchive.org with the consent of the music rights holder . It comes with song optimization, no reliance on external resources, and the “failing to load track” issue when refreshing has been fixed. Aside from those underlying technical changes, there is now an English translation that you can choose from the starting screen.

It was scoped like a one-week game jam, so nothing fancy. It's currently on standby to give the developer time to deal with personal matters. So, no more details on that for the moment. Being the only designer on the project at the start made me take on many aspects, from the kickoff meeting to frame the…https://trognon.space/a-serious-return-to-sam/https://trognon.space/a-serious-return-to-sam/Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMTArticleA reflective, personal one‑shot about Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD, Serious Sam 2, and Serious Sam 4: Reborn. Everything started spiraling when I noticed that Serious Sam 2 (2005) received meaningful new updates. Croteam simply acknowledging the game would have been a positive turn of events at this point, considering they have maintained a respectable distance between it and the rest of…https://trognon.space/advocacy-for-annotatable-video-transcripts-in-read-later-apps/https://trognon.space/advocacy-for-annotatable-video-transcripts-in-read-later-apps/Sat, 07 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMTArticleNow that I have written about my recent e-reader adventures, I would like to expand on a specific topic that wasn't included in the previous article. I namedropped Inoreader and talked a little bit about Readwise Reader without evaluating what such tools can be useful for because the angle was about long books, big PDFs, and e-book stuff. Let's now take the time to set up a minimal context and…https://trognon.space/reading-and-annotate-across-devices-e-readers-ipad-and-limited-lock-in/https://trognon.space/reading-and-annotate-across-devices-e-readers-ipad-and-limited-lock-in/Fri, 06 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMTArticleThis article documents my dive into e-reading workflows. I compare the open and closed tools I’ve tested across my devices, highlight where lock-in shows up, and share the setup I currently use to keep my books and annotations portable, future-proof and useful to me.

It's just an entry to talk about Apple Arcade. I recently bought a refurbished iPad Air M1 with an Apple Pencil 2. It’s seems great, and old enough to be more affordable than the latest models. There are a few things I want to try with this device that are totally new to me. I’m a little excited, as you’ll probably feel it. I’ve never owned a tablet.

It's a clever way to weave narration into the game, giving achievements a flavor that matches its tone. Through its simplicity, Many Nights creates a space where you have nothing to do but reflect.

Every piece of his work, great and less great, is scrutinized and compared to see if it lives up to his more than two-decade-old masterpiece. Even his second most popular show is essentially a remix of Bebop, which is difficult to ignore.

I'd just share how I see BF6 fit into modern Battlefield and give my view on the systems that matter to me. But finishing my deep dive into BFV stirred up feelings I wasn't expecting, and suddenly my neat little plan didn't feel so simple anymore.

If you already know Battlefield’s mechanics and evolution since BF3, you can dive straight in. Battlefield V has always felt to me like DICE’s clearest effort to refocus the series around squad play and tactical combat, while also making a bold evolution in gunplay that cemented a broader shift in combat…https://trognon.space/beyond-historical-accuracy-a-battlefield-retrospect-2-4/https://trognon.space/beyond-historical-accuracy-a-battlefield-retrospect-2-4/Sat, 16 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMTArticleIt's recommended to have read the previous part before, but it's not necessary if you have a good understanding of the Battlefield timeline. The US gaming community plays a significant role in shaping online perceptions of games. English discourse, particularly American English, dominates these conversations. The US market is undoubtedly the most important for the Battlefield franchise.

But to properly explore those topics, we need to take a few steps back and look at the franchise’s evolution during its modern era. I was only two years old when Battlefield 1942 released, so I wasn’t exactly in the mood back then.
