    Correct but I'm going to loom into a locally running LLM so it would be free.

    Not right now. Looking into a mac app. This was just a quick and dirty first go at it.

    Agree, I want to add a local LLM set up. The wording there isn't great.

    I built this for my home game. It’s super simple. But sharing because I wanted to show how fast you can build things these days. The tooling is incredible. From start to deployment…

    There’s a bigger picture than just the consumer. If there is not a chance to exit then founders won’t be incentivized to create these companies and employees won’t be incentivized …

    This is sad for the overall M&A market. Companies are going to be scared to enter into these agreements because it’s just a waste of time and money when it inevitably ends up like …

    I’ve worked on a few support sites for companies over the years. In all my research I found >40% of customers never look for the answer before contacting support. That’s why you’ll…

    I’m a huge fan of Lunch Money. It’s made by a small team that truly understands the feature-set needed for a full personal finance app. I’ve been on it for 4 years and couldn’t ima…
