I got nostalgic this weekend and recreated Napster's old interface. But instead of slow downloads and viruses, it connects to the Spotify API and plays instantly. Just a fun weeken…

Nice, I like the challenge video!

I hope so. I'm already subscribed to every streaming service, and my wallet can't handle all these LLMs too.

No problem, thanks for taking a look!

I was actually thinking about this very feature in the shower this morning :)

That’s a solid callout, appreciate you pointing it out. I’ll definitely dig into that more.

Cool, I don’t do customer-specific demos, but I like this idea. I might add this use case as an option. Thanks for sharing!

I was tired of digging through Kaggle and writing prompts over and over just to get fake data for dashboards and demos. So I built a little tool to help me out. It uses GPT-4o to g…

Also, what type of content do you find most valuable from a dev advocate (e.g., tutorials, live demos, blog posts, social engagement)? Would love to hear your thoughts!

This is really cool. I just showed my son (10 years old) and he loves it. He is going to try it out on his phone. Thanks for sharing!

Super cool, I'd also like to see the technical side of how this was built. Happy to see Metabase on the list!

I'm a developer advocate at Metabase and you can visualize data super fast without needing deep sql experience. You can use our query editor and even see the sql its building behin…
