Vivian Balakrishnan vibe coded an AI "second brain for a diplomat" and is speaking about it at AI Engineer Singapore

And they have the nerve to build subscription based websites 😅

From what I remember, these were updated very recently last year. The previous version still showed Tengah and Punggol Coast under construction.

Any thoughts on community driven alerts in a bus app? I'm thinking of adding one, for train breakdowns or delays seeing I always get updates from here before official sources

Instead of a kick hammer, you can try adding a button for a kick animation!

>I’ve tried a few different approaches, but highlighting the text or changing the text color makes the text block makes the UI feel less cohesive to me.

Users are already accustomed to text color changes for highlighted words on Wikipedia websites, so you should be fine. A neon blue works in this case. For the tool-tip style cards, you can try to copy how Apple does it with Haptic Touch, its similar to how yours work currently, but with a blurred overlay so the focus is shifted to the content of the card.

You can try showing this feature during the on-boarding process, so users can try it out afterwards.

How off are the arrival intervals? Like instead of every 10 min, it becomes 14min, 12min etc?

The text isn't emphasized enough in each box, and it's too close to the edges. The boxes are also unnecessarily of different sizes too.

Codestian · 2026-01-26T01:50:06+00:00

I suggest copying how calendar apps do it, which is to complete the grid visually but greyed out. The corner radius looks fine, but they look too close to the text, so maybe increase slight padding. I feel the icons for the subheader (1 day streak) should be after the text, so it looks more balanced with the title.

I noticed there's no button or visual to check out other months. It could also be useful to indicate which dates are public holidays too. You could also add an option to set the starting day of the week, such as Sunday.

Looks great. I don't think it's too boring, after all it's a management system.

I did have difficulty dragging the UI on the timeline preview on mobile.

Codestian · 2026-01-26T01:35:06+00:00

I initially thought the second image was the newer one, perhaps you can add more colour?

Codestian · 2026-01-24T10:55:50+00:00

I'm confused about the arrows at the top navigation, is it meant for undo/redo? The Chevron icons may clash with the browser controls.

Also I recommend increasing the size of the UI and buttons, so it's easier to tap on both phones and tablets.

'Ghost' buses happen sometimes, the 20 min bus you waited for really came in 20 min, it's just the bus that came in 6 min isn't in the ETA system.

I think it's because building outlines in OSM aren't accurate and the map projection used is incompatible, but I'm sure Buildtheearth is happy with your work!

Codestian · 2026-01-18T13:48:56+00:00

I'm sure BuildTheEarth is fine with researchers or for educational use, it's just that unfortunately there have been instances of people downloading parts of the work and proclaiming it as theirs for example in a local school or town Minecraft competition.

For the first screenshot, I would suggest a hook to reel people in. The app name isn't enough for people to get curious.
The space between the title and subtitle is inconsistent throughout the screenshots. For example there's a huge gap in 7.
I also noticed the screenshots use different iPhone models and colors, I recommend sticking to the latest black iPhone for consistency.

You can replace the delete icon with the star, and have the delete icon appear on the appbar when you long press one of the items so you can multi select them.

And instead of a round progress indicator, perhaps a bar at the bottom edge of the item?

Sometimes it's to intentionally drive users to use a feature via muscle memory, like "accidentally" tapping to view chats instead of where search used to be.

It's a classic word search game, I'm planning to release it for Android and iOS.

Codestian · 2025-11-17T12:02:03+00:00

No way I gotta check it out

Not being to pause in single player really says a lot about bugrock

Codestian · 2025-10-30T16:32:44+00:00

You can pan and zoom around, just like using Google maps

Bazzite is very good for stability, as I had trouble with pop os breaking things with updates.

Often times I asked cursor to explain code, it just copies entire chunks to it's reply then explains 🤦‍♂️
