    I wanted to try out your service but I don't have any accounts with Google or Microsoft properties (incl Github), so I can't sign up

    it's like costco memberships. the more you pay, the more value you feel you're getting

    Yeah, Apple has a rule against simple wrappers. Check out bubblewrap if you haven’t already. It’s made by Google specifically for wrapping PWAs for the Play Store. There’s a tiny b…

    Hello fellow map maker! I feel like I’m in the same boat. PWAs work great, I wish Apple would treat them as first class apps. I tinkered with launching a TWA for my app on the Play…

    reading that tweet it came across to me that he set the agent up for failure. garbage in, garbage out! maybe a more fair comparison would have been a prompt to design & implement t…

    thanks for the tips about CarPlay development. I'll definitely target parity with the web app at first so hopefully it'll be something I can get access to eventually regarding (1),…

    thanks for trying it out! I actually happen to have a trip planned for next month in Shenandoah and Blue Ridge Pkwy, looks like that loop is a little out of reach for us this trip …

    I had the same issue planning roadtrips where the journey is the destination. I’ve paid for apps like InRoute despite poor UX, inability to access my routes from desktop, and zero …

    I'll have to try that. how does it compare to using playwright? it seems like one advantage of playwright is being able to use it with multiple browsers, at least as far as web dev…

    is the LLM not acting on your stated intent? maybe you can find a middle ground, where you can plan and act in small enough chunks that it doesn't start getting its "own" ideas abo…

    It does not include shipping. I paid an extra $30 for shipping a 40mm cube. It’s the only reason I didn’t comment initially in support of an otherwise cool service

    yep! it's really helpful. I have different accounts on my gitea server for various bots and agents with restricted access scopes. it's been great for making branch protections like…

    gitea runs well on a low end server in my experience. self hosting on hetzner and it's somehow the holy trinity of cheap, fast and reliable. I previously (years ago) self hosted gi…

    I first heard something similar taking motion design classes in art school: every frame should look good. Transitions and animations that have bad in-betweens look bad overall

    There’s no free lunch, it takes time and effort still. And expertise if you need it to be robust. In terms of velocity, let me offer some numbers. In 6 months I generated >150k lin…

    I read it as a sort of prisoner's dilemma. If I'm being tracked and monitored everywhere I go, then it's in my best interests to do the same

    Thanks for the feedback. As it is right now, only one person needs to subscribe in order to collaborate. I’ll definitely make that clearer in the marketing material! I like your em…

    No, and while that does sound like a pretty obvious feature I should clarify the app is about planning, not turn-by-turn directions. You can open Plot Along routes in Google Maps, …

    I wanted a faster, easier mapping app to plan motorcycle rides for myself and with groups, so I finally bit the bullet and started building my own at the beginning of this year. I …

    I've worked with some people who only seem to care about 2. as in, they don't try the feature in any way, but come back with comments about "this isn't tested enough" even though i…

    I have to agree with OP, in my experience it is usually more productive to start over than to try correcting output early on. deeper into a project and it gets a bit harder to pull…

    thanks for sharing your project. how was your process different compared to pre-claude design? would you use it again?
