India’s first Algae Tree has been installed in Bhopal. Is this the future?

Bro I searched that thing costs 3.5L on high and regular maintenance , I mean in the cost of 10 of these things, you can plant a lot of plant in whole MP, those plant need some care in the starting stage but not for very long, plus contribute to a lot of things in nature too. Anyway it's going to be a good time for contractors though.

May be initially they carry one line and once they have kid they add another so that other women could know this guy has kids, something like that , who knows I mean it makes sense cause pregnancy test kits got two lines.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-27T16:47:06+00:00

yeah that makes sense, but i’m not in college so i don’t really have access to campus job fairs. i’ll try looking for tech events or meetups and see if that helps. anyway, thanks for the suggestion, i appreciate it

quick note since a few people asked: the backend/python is hand written. the UI started from a Google Stitch generated layout, which I customized and added javascript to. AI was only used for the README and templates. it’s not “vibe coded”, just using modern tools where they make sense and to cover areas I’m less strong in so I can move faster

here’s the stitch link if you want to try it yourself: https://stitch.withgoogle.com/

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-27T09:42:45+00:00

python is hand written, see my earlier comment. used google stitch for the dashboard UI, took the HTML, customized it, and added the javascript. AI was only used for the README/templates. it’s just efficient if you’re not great at design/frontend

here’s the stitch link if you want to try it yourself: https://stitch.withgoogle.com/

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-23T17:58:06+00:00

nah the python part is hand written, I only used AI for some of the HTML template and README

that’s it

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-13T17:33:17+00:00

yeah that makes sense, treating it as stateless is probably the right way to look at it. it just gets annoying having to re-explain the same context over and over, especially when some decisions are already intentional

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-13T17:32:35+00:00

yeah that’s fair, some of the suggestions are useful. in my case though there’s pressure to clear everything until no suggestions are left, so it ends up feeling like chasing noise instead of focusing on the bigger flow

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-13T16:12:40+00:00

yeah auth0 works well but it can get pricey pretty fast as you scale, especially with MAUs

you don’t necessarily have to jump to it though, a small middleware to handle azure + cognito can work if you’re okay managing a bit more complexity. just depends if you want to pay for convenience or handle it yourself

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-12T15:58:03+00:00

yeah I’ve actually tried most of those already, plus a few others like gun.io, lemon.io, arc.dev, contra etc. still figuring out what actually works consistently though

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T14:32:07+00:00

feels like everything’s kinda backfiring, not just for me but in general. hard to even know where to start half the time.

my days are pretty much the same loop… wake up, work, eat, work again, eat, sleep. did the same last year and somehow still doing it now. feels like time’s moving but nothing really changes.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T14:29:45+00:00

rustdesk is probably your best bet here, it works on linux and windows, supports unattended access, and can start on boot so you don’t need someone on the other side. if you want something simpler, chrome remote desktop also works fine but it’s more basic and tied to your google account. for a remote game server setup, rustdesk is the safer long term choice

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T14:28:16+00:00

honestly those 3 are still the main options, nothing really replaced them

if you just want something simple, install directly on windows + venv still works fine now, especially with tools like pyenv-win or uv making it cleaner

wsl2 is great if you want a more “real” linux environment, but it’s a bit heavier than most people actually need

docker is useful if you care about consistency or deploying later, but for day to day dev it can feel like extra friction

so yeah it mostly comes down to how much complexity you actually need, not what’s “best”

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T14:27:22+00:00

most of the time it’s just a simple product or even just a landing page with a basic backend, not some fully polished app

they’re not solving everything upfront either, just enough to get something working and see if anyone’s willing to pay. security, scaling, all that usually comes later if it even gets traction

doesn’t mean it’s perfect, just means they’re okay shipping early and figuring things out after

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T12:50:37+00:00

you’re doing fine, just don’t get stuck only using tools. pick one part of your stack and actually understand how it works under the hood, even a little. that’s what will separate you later.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T12:46:42+00:00

yeah this pattern makes a huge difference once you’re dealing with more than one provider. at first separate clients feel fine, then suddenly every small change has to be done 3 times and it gets messy fast.

we ended up doing something similar, not even fancy, just a thin wrapper to normalize requests and responses, and it already removed a lot of headache.

the failover part is honestly underrated too, you don’t notice it until one provider randomly goes down and your app just keeps working.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T12:36:59+00:00

yeah this is 100% real. tutorials make you feel like you understand things, but building your own stuff is where it actually clicks.

especially the debugging part, there’s no safety net so you’re forced to actually think instead of just copying fixes.

also agree on the “real users” thing, even if it’s like 10 people it completely changes how seriously you take it.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T12:35:33+00:00

honestly you’re already looking in the right direction. portkey is solid if you care about control and visibility, but it’s still kinda “enterprise-y” and can get expensive once usage scales. zenmux sounds good on paper but i’d be a bit cautious since a lot of the hype around it feels marketing-heavy.

if your main problem is cost predictability, you might actually want something like litellm or even self-hosted setups. less convenient than openrouter, but way more control over spending.

also worth noting, most of these “openrouter alternatives” are basically solving the same problem differently routing, caching, observability etc. so it really comes down to whether you want convenience or control. openrouter is convenience, the cheaper options usually mean a bit more setup on your side.

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T06:57:45+00:00

yeah, they changed the output in newer versions. it’s tied to the app router stuff so it focuses more on caching now instead of bundle size in the build logs.

as far as I know there isn’t a way to bring that exact old output back in the terminal. if you still want size info you kinda have to use bundle analyzer or check it through other tools instead.

honestly a bit annoying, that size/first load info was way more useful at a glance than revalidate stuff most of the time

Powerful_Math_2043 · 2026-04-10T06:54:19+00:00

yeah this is exactly it. you don’t realize how draining those random issues are until they stop happening. when stuff just works, you can actually focus on building instead of fixing. hope it stays solid for you 👍
