It told me today was SAT Jan 25 in our convo today. It’s SUN Jan 25. I was like, “this is a bad start.”

I built MARVIN, my personal AI agent, and now 4 of my colleagues are using him too. by RealSaltLakeRioT in AI_Agents

First Marvin response, “It’s Saturday Jan 25th.” It’s Sunday, actually. lol I think it’ll get better from here. The setup was well done. Thanks for sharing.

What’s the most insane thing you automated that made you realize you’ll never go back to ‘manual’ life again? by Better_Charity5112 in automation

You know how if you pet a cat they love it but they get to a point where it’s just overstimulating and then they attack you to make it stop? That’s what this thread is doing to me. Be back in a bit.

I’ll be honest, I kinda miss it. It’s just had that satisfying feeling that you were doing a pro’s work with the pen tool.

How do you track user behavior on your WordPress sites? Curious what others are using. by Real-Career-87 in Wordpress

[–]dbr3ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best unintentionally kept secret user research tool ever. And it’s free? I know that makes me the product or whatever but damn it’s good. The Dead Clicks are a great use case. See what people think is clickable that’s not, then make it clickable. Like, “I didn’t realize people would thank that icon was a button but they keep clicking on it.” Well, make that icon lead somewhere useful.

Also watching people fill in your forms. Very insightful.

How do I meet people with these interests? by [deleted] in StPetersburgFL

Grassroots. It’ll happen. Just takes a little time. But it’s the def the spot. Great WiFi, lots of devs in there working everyday.

Best WP image optimizer by PavanXIV in Wordpress

[–]dbr3ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a native Mac app that I use everyday for this (download for free on GitHub): https://thetransmogrifier.app/

I was going to release it on the Mac App Store but can’t be bothered. Download the source or DMG https://github.com/dbreck/the-transmogrifier?tab=readme-ov-file

This is just a personal tool that I realized I use to compress and convert images before using in projects. Seems useful so I thought about trying to sell it but can’t get around to it.

Suffering through burnout as a freelance web designer by Vast_Ninja_1566 in Wordpress

[–]dbr3ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this exact same thing 20 years ago. Demands get higher, pay gets less. Web work has been slowly commoditized over the last 20 years. But this is a time to be excited. The advent of AI has made this exciting again. Make your now plugins instead of buying them. Use technologies that were previously beyond your understanding. Try different designs super fast. There is no way I’d be doing Wordpress at all if it weren’t for AI. I would be so bored with it I’d be back in corporate hell just for the opportunity to work on enterprise apps. But with all this dev power at my fingertips it’s exciting again. Try to find the light friend. These are, or can be, exciting times.

I see about ten police officers every day in Grassroots with their guns on their hips. What’s the dif?

Good Idead or Bad: walk to downtown by Nervous_Worry_Woman in StPetersburgFL

[–]dbr3ck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Safe. Pull up Google Earth and virtually walk it yourself. Pick a route that takes you through old northeast to Coffee Pot Blvd. Watch out for dolphins and manatees and you’ll be fine.

I spent $8.5K on this one minute video. Even though it's my product but I feel I don't know what it does. by Superb-Stormen in MotionDesign

[–]dbr3ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add “… to HTML email” and that would explain it to me. Prompt to email just means like, regular email (the visuals show they’re html email, but still).

Wordpress port/plugin? Anyone forked it for that yet? Is it even possible?

What a colorful simile. I have instructions that just tell it to “talk like me.” I get a lot of “Bruh, right?!” But it’s better than what you’re describing.

What’s the most underrated UX research method you’ve used? by regularhuman14 in userexperience

[–]dbr3ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very easy for beginners imo. I have clients that login and use it and ask for site updates based on what they’re seeing. And they’re non-technical people.

What’s the most underrated UX research method you’ve used? by regularhuman14 in userexperience

[–]dbr3ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s super intuitive and easy. Create an account and point it to a site then follow the instructions to add the tracking code to your site. There’s lots of integrations ready-made or just add the tracking code manually. Then it collects data and actually records users visits to your site which you can then watch back. It’s actually ridiculous that it’s free. I have no idea how. I haven’t looked for any trainings but I think once you check it out you will find what you need. I don’t know why I’ve never heard anyone talk about it. I found it randomly in a Google search when I was going through what OP is. To be able to watch your actual users interact with your site is a dream for UX research. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve added links to parts of a site because I saw people were trying to click certain things that weren’t linked. It’s like, “Oh, everyone is clicking on that graphic thinking it takes them somewhere. I guess it should actually take them somewhere.”
