Writing a silly little iOS app with ChatGPT. I’ve done a little iOS dev, but not enough to be proficient. As an experiment I wanted to see how far I could get just asking the AI to write a thing and make changes.

It’s been a very instructive process and it’s shown me where the strengths and weaknesses are.

As an aside on that. I don’t think AI is going to replace Developers. I do think it’s going to be a rough couple of years while businesses try everything they can to make that happen. And that’ll probably be disastrous for everything.

An open-source, self-hostable app for sending out newsletter to your friends and families.

This is a really exciting idea. I really like how it bypasses the algorithmic advertising from Facebook and Co and have more content that you actually want to see.

I'm still working on and off on my https://dawnofthe.dad/crossword, albeit most of the guts (solver backing the crossword builder) have been stable and lately most of the work has been on the front-end. On that note, I've been meaning to rewrite the UX component to be HTML element based, rather than canvas.

I'm a tech guy turned rare coin & currency dealer -- this is my world: https://rarity7.com The retail site is 100% custom code built in Crystal (server) and Svelte (client). The only part that isn't running my own code is our checkout flow -- I let Shopify handle everything after "Add to Cart". Our system backend is a separate Crystal app which handles inventory management, pricing research, and price prediction. I'v…

Why not integrate with Shopify and do a theme/use its webhooks for this?
