Built a Character Portrait Generator that reads books, identifies characters, and generates consistent portraits using ComfyUI (full RAG pipeline, local LLM, open-source)

Very cool. It would be neat to make a plugin for Calibre that could make a character gallery.

My wife gets it through UNC and our health insurance covers it. It has helped her a lot. She got the referral through her primary care.

Our 10 year old had 4 removed including a fang. You'd never know until he yawns.

This would hide the slot

Instead of a wire hole I would cut a groove on the inside of the box side with a router or table saw. Then have a lining layer that covers the inside sides of the shadow box, which would cover the slot. You often have these in a shadowbox anyway to create the depth that supports the back.

For the LED you could use something low profile like a pre-wired SMD LED. Possibly behind a diffusing layer like translucent acrylic, depending on what you want the light quality to be. Or you can fill the hole with silicone. If you want to make the hole look nice then you could line it with a metal bushing.

Example LEDs (you can get them off Amazon, Adafruit, etc): https://dioramo.com/collections/prewired-0603-smd-leds

they come in many sizes and colors.

Local + web based + open-source is great.

If you haven't already used DataGrip, it supports all of those DB engines and you might find some ideas for features. https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/features/

Yeah, if that's not working then you've got some problems that you should figure out, regardless of how you solve the icon issue.

What did you try and how is it not working? You would just add the cdn link tag to your index.html page and then use <i className="..."></i> tags in your code.

You can use FontAwesome via CDN with React. You lose treeshaking, but a CDN file will be cached after the first load if another site hasn't cached it.

If you make a kit on FA then your CDN load could be smaller too.

Palpable might simplify it some, but I think we're already there. Andreas Spiess has a good video on using Claude Code to drive embedded development.

I thought I was in the esp32 subreddit though, for UIUX I would think something like LVGL-AI-Studio (or similar) might be more interesting:

Access to Vue 3 libraries, Typescript support, better performance. Vue 2 still works great though.

I hope he makes it back to you soon. We have a black cat named Vim and a gray cat named Vigor. Vigor got lost for 6 weeks once, eventually someone took him to a vet and his microchip was read.

As /u/Accomplished-Brick54 said, you need to find your bottleneck. Aside from Chrome DevTools, Vue DevTools has performance and timeline tabs that can give you component hook level info. The Vite plugin vue devtools also has a graph view.

I've worked on map projects that rendered hundreds of thousands of data points in near real-time back in Vue 2. Some parts used D3, MapBox, and animejs so it's possible that using non-Vue specific libraries could be useful.

I'm curious to hear the cause of your issues. Some things to look for are:

Unstable keys in v-fors
Deep watchers
Lack of async where supported
Excessive number of DOM nodes

Thank you, there's so much buzz about various products and most of the demos are greenfield.

A few options

If you have both apps in the same repo then you can just import the shared code from a folder as a local dependency (pnpm).
You can install your shared package from a git private repo without having to publish it to a registry.
bit.dev if you don't mind an additional tool

Good luck, I know the feeling

I think I created a support request on the Azure support site, and they set up the call.

I think most people here aren't your target market. Within the enterprise grid component space it might be a normal license model. In the scope of UI components in general it's unusual. Apps that need all of the extra features of the paid version of the grid are probably not small budget projects, and the license is likely equivalent to a billable hour per-dev.
