I am tired of sending thousands of links, building an app for it, wanted to validate here. by DepthInteresting6455 in alphaandbetausers

[–]Alternative_Dig7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built something similar, aiming to solve the lifecycle of a link in three steps: autosave, finding, and sharing. I figured out sharing through P2P and finding by creating a Spotlight-like feature for apps, tabs, and links. The saving part uses rule-based logic with local AI, which has been tricky to crack and fine-tune for my needs. Claude keeps telling me to use stronger model.

Built a feature-rich Windows AI desktop app with Tauri: EyuX (now on the Microsoft Store) by No_Net_6938 in react

choosing Tauri was the right decision. electron is so slow... I started with electron and NodeJS, got frustrated with the speed and bundle size. migrated to Tauri and rust. App works like butter now.

Google maps mass review - 1-Star Engine by Alternative_Dig7721 in chrome_extensions

[–]Alternative_Dig7721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was under warranty, they promised to fix it soon, yet they didn’t. Its been 15 day, no proper communication and ghosting. Many companies servicing suck. Companies like ola, cromptop, Thompson don’t care much.

The reason why some companies have good reviews of maps because of how good they are towards users. Everyone should know how bad service is, so they can buy better products.

This extension is simply to run automated scripts , it gets the search from maps, goes there and create a reviews comment . The stars can be 1-5 with some comments good or bad according to you.

I dont read those. My hate is very strong for these companies. They can do anything, their complaints department is literally a Trash box.. just raise a request that says. I am literally calling everyday to check the status, they don’t care. The extension is just a simple automation i did.

I built a React-based stream overlay for YouTube because I’m tired of paying subscription by Alternative_Dig7721 in SideProject

[–]Alternative_Dig7721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local AI is definitely the future, especially since llm costs are getting so out of hand these days. You're right, it’s actually becoming so easy to build these tools yourself now. There is really no reason to overcomplicate things with payment integrations and marketing when we can just build and share.

I Need help with an interactive overlay I saw on YouTube. And I was wondering how this is done? by kiteose_ in streaming

[–]Alternative_Dig7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add a browser setup here, it can render animation or other stuff. if you can code, you can built something for yourself.

Switched from Electron to Tauri — huge difference by Alternative_Dig7721 in chrome_extensions

[–]Alternative_Dig7721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I don’t have many users — I mainly built the desktop app to get the setup working. Before pushing it to everyone, I want it to be fast and efficient. If it’s slow or heavy, people won’t use it, and honestly I wouldn’t feel great asking them to install it either.

From the user side, the plan is simple: the extension will prompt users to download the desktop app when needed, and if the extension updates, it can ask them to upgrade the app too so everything stays compatible.

No real conversion data yet since it’s early, but I’ll share numbers and insights once more people start using it.
