I used some skills I picked up 20 years ago refactoring a huge and very messy codebase I knew nothing about and built a skill that allows Claude to do the same. Seems to work reall…

Wanted to let my kid experience Reddit, didn't want him to wander off into the nasty bits of it. Only allows access to r/teenagers and r/AdviceForTeens for now. This probably exist…

This is excellent, just what I needed from a barebones SEO tool as a total newb. Simple, clear, gets the data right from my Google Console setup and shows a simple graph and a list…

You know the kind I'm talking about. A huge lumping monolith of spaghetti with barely any tests, class hierarchies a mile deep, and a list of dependencies that can make a grown man…

I can imagine a bot that posts a "Show HN" for each of those ideas that points to a landing page generated with GPT3 and DALL-E and tracks traffic to figure out the best one to bui…

Might need a little tweaking. GPT3 skews to 5 y/o humour without deeper guidance. ... Generate a list of 5 cringy app names and descriptions. 1. "PooPee!" - A game where you must h…

I removed the worst of the cringy ones (e.g. AnalConnect for business analysts) and the "Inspiration" bit in each app can sometimes ring a little off, but I'm pretty happy with the…

Heard it a million times before but it's a nice reminder.

You're right, that's what the article is about, because that's easier. Finding paying customers and product market fit for an existing product is harder, and that's what I teach at…
