Back in February, I wrote about Remove Empty Shortcodes 1.0.0 in which the plugin includes the admin scanner, a real test suite, and automated deployment to WordPress.org.
Then a bug report was submitted on the wp.org forums leading to 1.1.0.

Where Can I Watch? has always answered a simple question: where can I actually watch this show or movie right now? The catch is that “right now” includes more than the subscription services you pay for.
A lot of content lives on free, ad-supported platforms like The Roku Channel, Tubi, Pluto TV, and the like. Those are legitimate, no-cost ways to watch something tonight, and the app was leaving them out.

I got as far as parsing OPML exports, writing some unit tests, setting up PHPCS, and documenting the whole thing on this blog. Then life happened, I lost the thread, and it sat untouched.
The itch never went away, though. I kept finding myself thinking, “I know someone said something about this on a podcast, but which one? Which episode? When?” Podcasts are full of ideas and I had no way to get back to them.
So I started over. Different project, different approach, same underlying frustration.

Where Can I Watch? 1.4.0 is out, and it’s one of the bigger releases since launch. Two ideas drove most of the work: making Today its own top-level tab, and giving Episode Detail a consistent home in every place in the app where you might tap into an episode.
When 1.3.0 shipped, the plan I wrote for 1.4.0 was a detail-page overhaul:
- content rating badges,
- runtime,
- on-your-services callouts,
- and person search.
The more I continued to use the app, the more it was clear the foundation for those enhancements wasn’t quite in place yet:
- Episode Detail only opened from one corner of the app,
- Today was still a pinned section inside Watchlist,
- and the streaming service name, the whole point of the app, was missing from a few places a user would most want it.
1.4.0 puts those foundations in place. The detail-page enhancements will be in 1.5.0, built on top of everything in this release.

A few months ago I shipped the first version of BurnRate (and another version after that). It’s a macOS menu bar app that showed your Claude Code usage limits at a glance.
It solved a real problem: I didn’t want to stop what I was doing to type /usage every time I wondered how close I was to hitting my limits.
But Claude Code solved it better.
