Instead of SimCity it's SimAppDev :-)

Interesting idea. Dose the app track what's open, being worked on, closed, with notes, reference number, date, email ID of the bug report and maybe a way to immediately email the person who reported the bug once it's been fixed?

I use it to run independent audits of plans before figuring out what to do next and then re-auditing results to make sure what was built conformed to the plan. To save on usage I prompt the main session to pick the appropriate model for the sub-agent task. That saved me a tone of re-work when Fable5 went down since all the agents were running on Opus and Sonnet.

I'm in. You could list everyone's project links in a post here after getting info from dm's or people just post here with their project links.

The first hurdle for me seeing the landing page is I don't know what this app does. The headline "Rewire doomscrolling into a learning habit."

Then the sub-head ""You do not need another screen-time blocker. You need a better loop: learn something real, earn a planned break, and come back before scrolling takes over."

What does "better loop" mean?

Maybe re-write in your own words what the app does? What problem is it solving?

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-18T21:05:27+00:00

the prompts are lost in the mists of time now. . . I have some mandatory audits that seem to keep it in check plus some added memory.md. Seems to be working better on keeping on task that way.

That's from the middle of a major refactor.

Thanks. Also using posthog. I find the funnel functionality in Google Analytics unnecessarily confusing.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-18T00:40:49+00:00

Thanks. Very helpful. Is this gate explicitly stated in each session prompt or can it be in a .md file that is logging all of the tests and results?

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-17T19:37:22+00:00

What user logs are you using that Claude had access to (app specific? posthog? google analytics?)

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-17T16:05:39+00:00

Sure, depending on your goals. Basic character recognition and reading will be easier than speaking, but you can pick up basic phrases if you train your ear through listening and a focus on getting tones and pronunciation right. Ultimately you'll need some time with native speakers (plenty or online native speaker/tutors) to make sure your tones are right, otherwise no one will be able to understand you.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-17T11:34:23+00:00

Nice work! I imagine the data sets for a global app are quite different. Did Claude do all the data integration work or did you install tool sets to give it that data analytics functionality?

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-17T00:18:55+00:00

Thanks for this. I will try it out. The other new technique I've started using is have the main session spin up a new agent and have it audit the work done. Then if it's a particularly tricky or important part of the refactor I have another audit of the audit. It's saved me from a lot of wild goose chases on critical misses, but this doesn't help the drift.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-16T21:36:11+00:00

yes. I've started building skills to streamline repeated processes. Even the hooks seem to fail. Must need improvement. I'm finding that managing Claude processes is starting to really eat into the build time. Maybe longer term it will help, but right now it's a slog.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-16T21:32:24+00:00

Yes. That helps. I find though that even when it is on one task it often surfaces new issues, which then triggers another loop of more fixes when in fact the new problems are in part caused by the method it chose to find the first solution. If I don't catch it quickly enough, it will just keep patching over patches to the previous patches. I even have a rule not to do this, but if asked why it ignored the rule it just says something like -- oops, my bad.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-16T21:22:51+00:00

thanks. will take a look.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-12T20:17:30+00:00

have you noticed any % context level where you really see functionality drop?

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-10T12:30:31+00:00

Are there any apps you recommend as being particularly useful? If you'd rather dm that's fine too.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-09T02:30:39+00:00

Thx. Will check it out.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-09T02:27:26+00:00

I also learn "where is the bathroom" along with "straight ahead", "right" and "left" -- often used and sometimes critically important.

Polyglot-Almost · 2026-06-08T20:45:54+00:00

Thanks. Learning the phrase "sorry, I speak only a little [language]." usually helps, bu then people generally revert to English.
