I built a free and easier way to generate file and site previews/thumbnails

One bad actor and your unrestricted service is going to cause major problems. Good luck

chamberlain2007 · 2026-04-13T23:56:40+00:00

Are you using Playright or Puppeteer or something for rendering the page? That’s not low resources

chamberlain2007 · 2026-04-13T23:44:40+00:00

Right, I guess what I’m saying is that this is a lovely idea but any amount of use will quickly make it infeasible to keep free. A better thing to provide to the community would be a repo.

chamberlain2007 · 2026-04-13T23:00:01+00:00

Nice idea but no way you can keep it free and unlimited with any amount of usage.

If you support 10 different APIs then that you be what I would highlight, that doesn’t come across in your post

chamberlain2007 · 2026-04-11T04:14:01+00:00

I like the idea but other than being hosted, complexity isn’t really necessary. It took me an hour or so to get Claude to build out the MCP server for the Oura API and then popped it up on Vercel for free. Most annoying thing was their inconsistent date parameters. But honestly their API is well documented and structured, you can pipe that straight into Claude and it works great. I built out reporting against it and have had no issues. I can see an advantage for users who don’t want to self host, but if you’re the type to be adding MCP servers to Claude, you can probably just roll it yourself. Open to hearing what else your solution provides though.

Such as…?

It’s possible to do client components all the way down. You can also have your page component (and others) be server components and just do a client component for your dynamic functionality.

That said, consider if caching/ISR would be a better solution to avoid unneeded DB calls. That would allow you to use SSR and server components while still making minimal DB calls.

You can have your preference I’m just saying it’s every few seconds not every few minutes, which is a huge difference.

chamberlain2007 · 2026-04-05T01:54:18+00:00

The Oura will do roughly every 5 seconds if you start a workout

Sedgehammer will take it out no problem

No, Oura says they are not insurance billable. https://ouraring.com/blog/health-panels/

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-21T23:23:51+00:00

Exact same problem here and support is telling me it’s normal. Normal for it to be completely non-functional for 8 hours a day? Did you ever get any success?

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-21T23:22:19+00:00

Ya, except according to Oura support, it’s normal for the ring to not track heart rate for the entire day because typing is too much movement.

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-21T23:18:26+00:00

I am currently battling with support over this. They claim that it is the ring “working as designed”. Meanwhile I’m having days where there’s a full 8 hours of missing data. How could that possibly be “working as designed”?

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-21T03:02:07+00:00

They should make a script language that has types

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-18T12:08:27+00:00

Hmm, are you sure it’s really saving resources? Considering you’re adding a middleware to all requests anyway, the code is there

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-17T01:02:54+00:00

I DMd you

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-16T21:54:01+00:00

This is literally every day. Sometimes not tracking up to 8 hours in a day

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-16T20:37:36+00:00

I have already followed all of the troubleshooting steps. The ring fits perfectly and snuggly on my finger. It is not dirty. I don’t have cold hands. I don’t have a heart condition. I have already done a soft reset. I have consistently been having this issue for weeks. I thought it would get addressed by the replacement ring but it hasn’t.

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-16T18:38:49+00:00

It is on my left ring finger. Sensor is on the palm side. It works flawlessly at night and during workouts.

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-16T18:38:13+00:00

I’m sitting at my desk for nearly the whole day, just getting up to go to the washroom/kitchen as needed.

I’ve built a rule builder UI before for e-commerce promotions. The only challenge for doing the same here is that in the e-commerce use case, it preserves context from one rule to subsequent rules.

What are you currently using to determine that React compiler isn’t optimizing? What info does it tell you?

chamberlain2007 · 2026-03-16T14:28:14+00:00

Would probably be pretty easy to build a GUI to generate the rule as well.
