    Viable open source Claude Design alternative?

    Can anyone recommend an alternative to Claude Design? I've been trying OpenDesign (https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design) using GPT5.5 which seemed promising, but so far the resul…

    What about heartbeats, cron etc? Seems like a major part of the 'claw' appeal is that it can work autonomously, monitor your email inbox for stuff and take action automatically...

    It feels like a proactive PR move to me. When the shit hits the fan in a few years and jobs are vanishing, they can point to this as one of the many examples of how they're fightin…

    I’ve felt for some time that there’s a gap in the market for a genuine spiritual successor to The Sims, using LLMs to power the interactions between agents to create a more realist…

    That would make sense for the API where usage is metered. But outside of that, most ChatGPT users will be free or paying a flat monthly fee, so there's a real incentive for OpenAI …

    Is there a way to see some past debates? Would give me a flavour of how the site works without having to sign up and wait for someone to come online. Well done on releasing.

    Ah man, that’s brutal. For what it’s worth, it’s a gorgeous theme and it made me excited to learn Drupal when I was 14!

    This is absolutely the responsibility of the healthcare system tbh. It feels intrusive right now, but discouraging smoking would have felt intrusive once too.

    ST is a brilliant editor and I really enjoyed using it until I eventually switched to VS Code as it had more useful extensions. The speed of ST is still unmatched.

    It insulted my attempt at minimalist design quite comprehensively. Well done!

    It would be awesome to have some kind on playable demo in-browser, or sample output. Nice work

    There’s a nice YouTube doc telling the story of this, and Tom Waits’ hatred of advertising - https://youtu.be/W7J01e-OIMA?si=57IJooNwg5oTfh62

    Is there a way to run these things deterministically with a seed? Totally AI-generated videos could just be compressed to text without any reference screenshots

    Honestly, the eager flirtatiousness of the AI in the demos, in conversation with these awkward engineers, really turns me off. It feels like a male power fantasy. Nonetheless, very…

    Very cool! Did you create this? What was the motivation? I'm just wondering if this is a common enough task that it's easier than doing it in Photoshop
