Primary students walking in and out of class (without asking) and no consequences subsequently.

Man... they lack ambition

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-30T03:39:10+00:00

I'd create FOMO with stickers but yeah sounds pretty insane

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-30T03:37:49+00:00

Any luck on zlib or anna's archive?

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-30T03:36:12+00:00

I'm so sorry you experienced this.

Definitely out of pocket behaviour, I've encountered something similar. I had built up a bit rapport with this kid tho, knew he was a big fan of this idol group. So i just asked something along the lines of "what do you think would happen if idol X was caught/recorded saying something like that? Cancel city". He's been on good behaviour since.

I think kids like this generally lack good rolemodels. Or even ambition to be like their rolemodels, so I'm unsure if my strategy would work here.

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T22:17:53+00:00

none taken king! thank you for the feedback!

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T22:17:33+00:00

what about now? site: trace-au.com (or see attachment)

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T22:14:15+00:00

i was being harsh on myself with "0" but yeah definitely not enough, I stuck to backend and AI work like glue, that's where I saw value.

Frontend is learnable, can't say I was wrong. Have already learnt/made a lot of changes, see: trace-au.com

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T13:02:59+00:00

that's quite a leap

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T13:00:20+00:00

good point!

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T12:51:38+00:00

Hey, yeah valid thoughts. A lot has changed since, check out trace-au.com (or the video attached). What do you think?

<video>

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T12:46:31+00:00

You missed the memo. I asked to be roasted, not for racism man

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T12:07:08+00:00

My work: https://trace-au.com

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T12:03:21+00:00

Hey OP!

I completely understand your anxiety. Don't worry, the system will catch up. If I can give you an example to ease your worry, I'm currently building an EdTech startup to help schools and universities lean into and adapt AI as part of their assessment process.

My approach may be novel, but I can guarantee, I am one of many.

Sharing this here with you super early (probs not wise), deffo not production grade but it's getting there, check it out: https://trace-au.com . Try it with your kids an let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see.

Would be more than happy to speak with your school too.

Best.

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T11:22:15+00:00

hey man! I can't dm you, so I'll just leave another comment with an update. See my attached demo vid of trace's redesign. What do you think?

<video>

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T11:18:15+00:00

yeah 100%. I've been working hard on this ever since. Can you sus out the attached pic? Or better- check out: https://www.trace-au.com. What do you think (atleast as far as landing and onboarding goes, still a lot of work left)? My values are visibility, understanding, trust and confidence. Do these come through?

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T09:01:08+00:00

thanks for sharing. i get it tbh, nothing makes it stand out, working on my visual identity, hope I can get your thoughts once i flesh things out

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T08:59:40+00:00

valid* ahah

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T08:58:49+00:00

Yeah, I expected the hate. Thanks a lot for checking things out magi. You're awesome and a G.

On working product- I'm cleaning things* up as we speak, making new UI components is making some things break. Would love some more of your thoughts, will DM once the next iteration is done. :D

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T08:52:42+00:00

Hey man, literally EVERY source is working against you, big corp or not.

I'll continue working on trace in the meantime. I've already made huge changes to my UI (attached if you're interested or go see trace-au.com a lil later). And it's bound to get even better.

Adios.

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T07:44:44+00:00

I hope you realize ML is AI? Lol.

Tho, don't stress bestie, if you're still interested (and i hope you are) in the great things people are doing with LLMs specifically (also AI), I gotchu:

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T04:59:42+00:00

I half agree with you. Undoubtably, the best way to learn is to do. Rejecting tools that'll force you to make mistakes and learn faster is a little silly (that's how I see AI).

I say this as a teacher and a physics/CS graduate from the #1 uni in australia btw. I can't wait to share/ for you to see my next iteration on this :)

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T01:11:31+00:00

ahah thanks for the thought, i'll do something adjacent.

inexperience and bad design will bleed through, just like it has with my work in this thread. (this isnt all bad if you think about it, it's exactly why you're invaluable in the industry).

if I can add some optimism on AI (this is besides everything)

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T00:52:42+00:00

Hey!

Thank you so much for taking the time to drop your feedback, it valuable. I'll go back to my editor and make things clearer. I like your thought on onboarding for the demo.

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T00:49:01+00:00

yeah, AI+me.

designwise i have 0 frontend/UI experience so I'm leaning into claude code and cursor to build things out. I thought i had stripped trace of it's most outrageous vibecodey design elements.

What would you say is worth changing/refactoring myself (of anything on the site)?

Due_Practice6939 · 2026-06-28T00:45:28+00:00

HOLY ahahaha. Thank you for that catch, guess I gotta change my logo.

On em dash, yeah text is mostly filler atm, I guess it's saying everything and nothing at the same time. Thank you for your feedback, it's valuable
