#22Well done. Very nice.
I really like the UI/UX, and admit that I am a bit jealous (as langcss.com creator) of how polished it is. I like the way it tells you what files it is working on but doesn't stick a full IDE in your face.
I am not worried this year about AI taking my job - it couldn't manage to capture the camera for my example app. It did get the permissons. Still this isn't useless - it can be easier to debug a non-working app than build from scratch.
So at this point you need a coder! But that will change pretty quickly over the next 2-5 years I am sure.
There is certainly a danger that this kind of app could do a lot of jobs, especially once mistakes are limited so you don't need an Engineer to come fix it. However learning some non technical skills like business analysis is probably wise for most of us :-).

#23Is this like https://websim.ai/ but more explicit in terms of what it's doing and it's purpose? I have used websim.ai for fun and there are quite a few interesting websites there. But what they are doing is all disguised under their address bar.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just a warning about testing with snake/tetris - they're the most reimplemented games in the world and there's so many examples those models learned from. For a more realistic test, it's better to try something novel.
Agreed, but I think that dismisses the ease of use of this product compared to other offerings. Being able to type in a single sentence and have a full webpage of exactly what you asked for in less time than takes to stand up and stretch is kind of magical.
search engine dot com and “snake game” is still probably faster though. which is the point gp was trying to make. there’s so much training data on snake, that this is what you’re essentially doing.

#25Awesome work! How are you installing npm packages & compiling in the browser IDE without any local filesystem?
Maybe a docker spinup for each app (which would be kind of nuts and could get out of hand perhaps) ? I have to admit I didn’t look at the site much so have no idea really

may be search it's faster, but this thing is supposed to do it something like fortran and console. ;)
Re: Show HN: Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps
#27Wow. I typed in: Create a page that has a snake game clone that you can control with the keyboard. Within I did all of this within ~3 minutes. It works, and while it is very suboptimal (it plays Snake using basic React state code, not ideal lol), the speed of this and how surprised I am reminds me of the first time I talked with ChatGPT 2 years ago. Amazing work. I don't know if these are shareable, but this is the l…

You can get government subsidies in Germany using snake :)
News in German from a week ago, 180,000 Euros in Government subsidies to develop a modern Snake: https://www.iphone-ticker.de/spielefoerderung-in-der-kritik-...

what does disguised under address bar mean?
Re: Show HN: Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps
#29Well done, works well indeed. You are still active on the OSS project I see; the new site has been built in Rust, so I guess they diverged quite a bit?

Everyone was going to be laid off because of AI within two years in 2022. Well, many have been, but technically not because of AI. Well, not because AI took over their jobs proper, anyways.
AI used to always be 5-10 years away. Now AI is here. What's 5-10 years away now is all the reconfigured or reconstructed economic infrastructure around it.
It may be easy to convince me that tools like this can take over development of web apps. It's harder to convince me that, in the timeframe where these tools actually eliminate web app jobs, that we will be worried about our web app building capacity.
The most generalized economic pipeline is (labor + capital) -> production -> welfare. We're obviously going to be reconfiguring a lot of labor, a lot of capital is going buh-bye, much of production will look nothing like it used to, and we haven't even started discussing whose welfare we're going to be maximizing (hopefully it's people in general rather than real estate owners.)
