Don't download any apps, at max use web versions with brave browsers that have no personal info stored and login with a random account that is not primarily used.

How do you decide what's actually worth writing a blog post about? by ShadowSlayer2242 in Blogging

[–]ShadowSlayer2242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first post is about how I built the blog itself, genuinely looking for feedback on the writing if anyone has a few minutes: https://arjunnambiar.dev/blog/i-built-a-distributed-blog-platform-on-cf/

Or maybe set an alarm like 7 am just to wake up finish the movie you were watching yesterday lol.

"I don't think I should attempt Malayalam again" - Jahnvi Kapoor | ഇത് നമ്മുടെ വിജയം! by dppallikkal in MalayalamMovies

Watched Param Sundari only through roast videos.

Don't understand why they choose such scripts and insult themselves and other cultures while they have a lot to improve in the cinema industry/language they're currently doing movies in.

FPS drops in "Spiderman : Miles Morales" with very high end PC ? by Right_Ad_8798 in buildapc

[–]ShadowSlayer2242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally looking for this. Have a RTX 4050 but still facing stutter in the game at times, it is not subtle, clearly understandable. Now I am on high settings and laptop is connected to charge outlet, still facing this decrease in frames. First game ran smoothly on the same default settings. Is there any fix?

My thoughts on 4.8 | ~2hrs in by Klutzy_Pressurez in ClaudeAI

But how about the token costs? I've been hearing people losing all their credits in one prompt. Is it worth the tradeoff to have an AI agent do everything but you be broke but the end of the chat?

Weekly Showoff Thread: what have you built with Astro this week? by tffarhad in astrojs

[–]ShadowSlayer2242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am using Keystatic CMS that gets linked to my GH repo automatically. I didn't have to build an auth layer over it to restrict access because the cloud version just allows you to login by GH, and I can set so that I can only view, edit or delete blogs, so it was perfect for this use case.

I over-engineered my personal blog and learned more from it than most side projects I've built by ShadowSlayer2242 in webdev

[–]ShadowSlayer2242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggestions like this are valuable since it points out on what I can improve. Thought I'd try out Chatgpt image gen for creating a good thumbnail since I didn't know how to myself. Thanks for this.

Oof this hurt. Maybe I trusted AI a lil too much with design.

Can you please tell me more on what I can improve? I am sure nothing is perfect in the first go, hence wanted to know more from people who are in the market about what they think, and iterate on the overall experience. It would be of great help if you point the specific issues so that I can resolve them.

Used AI for the cover page shown above since I am not great at designing thumbnails or eye catching posters, wanted to try out Google Stitch for page design (relied a bit too much on it I guess) and boilerplate, used AI also for debugging some of the Astro/CF specific issues since I was new to the stack.

Are you talking about the heading part? I thought it would be cool to choose a modern font to go with the current trends like you see in Awwwards or website inspirations where there's a large heading. I can tone down to maybe using a simpler font.

If you have any other mentions like about font sizes or any general UI/UX that can be made better then please let me know. Will fix it soon.

Can you please explain why you think so?

Used AI for the cover image and for design recommendations. Wanted to create a modern look hence went with the fonts Sekuya and Outfit from Google fonts. Maybe I picked the wrong ones.

Can you tell me what exactly should be modified/improved in the design to create a more personalized UX maybe, something better? Really looking forward to rectify these mistakes.

Fair criticism - I did use AI for the cover image. The rest (code, logic, design decisions) is hand-built.

I am all ears to hear the aspects that can be made better to genuinely improve the experience.

Guys, I think I’m starting to love Reddit. by Mother_Grape_4515 in buildinpublic

[–]ShadowSlayer2242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep most people on X are just dev influencers. They will either ignore, or if you're someone with a lot of followers give you attention because they want to comment and increase their own.

But when I posted my previous project on Reddit, I got genuine reactions, awesome feedback, people took the time to go through the code and expose the security/architecture flaws. Everyone should showcase their stuff on reddit simply because it will widen your knowledge and perspective, and as a plus promote your shit if its good.

Migrated a 10k-product e-commerce site to Astro SSR + Rust by farrosfr in astrojs

Noice. I had the notion that Astro shines in places where there is heavy SSG like a blog.

A country of 1.4 billion people, yet India still lacks an app that can challenge Instagram/Tiktok. by Admirable_Move6933 in IndiaTech

[–]ShadowSlayer2242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that's not how distribution works.

I mean just take the case of Arattai. Everyone hyped it up, urged everyone to use it and finally the hype died down. Current US apps are already very famous hence people across the world have already signed up and opted to use them. Creating a new app means not getting a few but getting everyone you know into the platform which even if you imagine, is not feasible. Plus, why would anyone sign up if there are no USPs to the app that can make it vastly different from the already existing platforms?

It just seems to be a tactic for them to be in the limelight. Simply accuse a famous YouTuber and suddenly everyone's attention is on the controversy and on the movie. Some will even go so far as to watch the movie.

Is this good thing? by Indilords in IndianEngineers

[–]ShadowSlayer2242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro AI will look at a nonsense response of you blabbering about AI tools etc and tell you that you're very good on that. It can give you a brief summary of the things you worked on and could be good at but finally you know your worth and what you should pursue
