https://grugnotes.com A simpler note taking app -- about a year of baking, but still feeling pretty half done. Started as a scratch my own itch for replacing roam, now with some mild ambition to be a 'blue collar' notion like app. Still some massive holes like no imports, exports, docs, tos, onboarding videos etc. But pleased with my progress on speed, sync, search, whisper, and other features. It's been a fun way keep up with ai space, but a slow climb into self sustaining product. Still highly motivated and looking forward to the next year!

I had a contract recently where I got very familiar with render.com, and I figured I'd do some blogging about some of the things I learned, with some tips and tricks to learn how to write technical content.
It's been a lot of fun to help people on the internet with something I've learned a lot about!

Basically you put in the name of your friends and family and they fight to the death in a violent Game of Thrones-esque world to see who will emerge as victor.
Works pretty well, the stories vary in quality pretty dramatically (one story had a prince marry his sister, had an heir, than had his sister killed!), but I am proud of how it all turned out.
I finished up 90% of the features and never got the last 10% done, really wanted to get voice over support added in there, as well as more sound effect and better animations.

#286lovezone.io A platform for creating and hosting dating sites, for free. Lovezone is based on the observation that in the physical realm, mating often happens in smaller circles: within a group of friends or within hobby groups. Lovezone makes possible for such small circles to have their own dating site. The sweet spot for the users of this service is probably existing communities such as Facebook groups with perhaps…
This is an interesting take. A couple of observations: - Small groups of people who know each other IRL are very sensitive to breakups. When a couple breaks up, it frequently splits their friend group into 2 camps that "follow" one of the partners (strange behavior in my view but certainly observable and prevalent, especially in the US). Dealing with this complexity is going to be a challenging task. - Small groups o…
The idea is to connect a little big larger groups that you have in mind, people that have something in common. Something like "single dog owners in Finland", "single people in Finland who like to hike", who have existing communities, for exmplae in Facebook. Such groups seem to have 1-10K members. I think the sweet spot is communities with so many members that simple Facebook introduction threads are no longer feasible, but people still have something in common that they strongly identify with.

#287I'm building Mass Driver[1], a tool to automate PR creation across many (many) repos, building a library of reusable changes via "patchdriver" plugins.
The repos can be fed as list on CLI, via file, or via a "source" type plugin (allows github search or custom API calls), the PR creation works via a "Forge" plugin.
Resulting PR list can be fetched to review status:
> Of 113 given PRs, 73 merged, 30 closed not merged, 5 ready to merge (no conflict), 5 with conflicts.
I've created hundreds of PRs with it via github app integration, see the plugins repo[2].

#288Earlier quoted context omitted.
I really like the UI: 1. using the new Chrome Sidebar API is a great choice! 2. selecting actions to show in the context menu is also a convenient customization idea Are you considering porting it to FF? Other than the Sidebar API it should be a very straightforward process.
Thank you! It was actually Chrome releasing the ability to open a sidebar using a context menu action that sparked the idea. I absolutely plan to support firefox. I figured I should get things working well in one browser first before looking into porting, but consider it on the near term todo list.
Sounds good. One problem that you will likely encounter in FF is that you can't open the native extension popup (the one that is attached to the action button) programmatically. That severely limits how you can present your UI, with the most obvious choice being injecting an iframe with the extension UI directly into the body of the page. The other choice is opening a new popup window, which is less convenient than seeing things side by side.

#290The recent AI craze got me excited to program personal projects again, so I made a Chrome extension to save my ChatGPT prompts into and run them against any page's selected text. The idea was that it's more convenient create a command once, then on any website highlight text and right-click it rather than copy/paste stuff into ChatGPT. So far I know all 10 people who installed it personally, and I have a ton more ide…
