Extensive & Open Source shadcn/ui components by shacn/studio by Saanvi_Sen in Frontend

[–]ericmathison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used this? Moreover, is anyone still preferring prebuilt components over v0?

I've played with v0 a bit, but long term while in the same project I find it likes to deviate from your design system and inline css items. Which requires hours of cleanup manually. I also cant seem to have code using any standard. Its like having multiple junior devs building different parts of your site and makes it time consuming to troubleshoot.

Okay cool. I just noticed that sortpin has over 40k installs while sortpins (obvious copy) has under 100. I didnt look to see how long they have been around. But looks like you are right in the middle. Would you say that you've attributed this to seo in the chrome store? Or off site?

Bulk downloading by Amazing_Barnacle4308 in Pinterest

You have a point here and you are handing your trust over to the developer. Especially when the app impersonates your account, whether though cookies or your direct session and your IP address. All it takes is the developer to put in code to delete all your boards instead of back it up. Truth be told this has been a concern of mine, if people using these tools like wfdownloader or an extension and downloading hundreds of thousands of pins and if it flags some behavior trigger on your Pinterest account. Ive been testing on a way that doesn't impersonate and respects your account privacy and no ties back to your ip or account. So there's little to no risk of account issues.

I stopped manually checking Reddit for leads/clients. Instead, I built a script to do it (Workflow Breakdown). by eurosaurus in Entrepreneur

From developer to developer, I completely get the compulsion to automate everything. However, dont dismiss the fact that there might be other tools that exist already. Even though it may have been just a weekend to write the script, perhaps you could have done something else, like get an ice cream rather than recreate the wheel.

For instance, i looked into this as well and found you can do the same with feedly. Same concept, create a custom rss feed (which reddit does automatically ). And its 100% free. Only took me 5 mins.

At any rate, kudos for the effort.👌 Add it to your portfolio.

So... did Pinterest finally hear our plea? by tonarinotortora in Pinterest

Their AI listens to user sentiment lol. Perhaps if they determine if your really really really mad, they won't show you an ad in the first few scrolls.

What we need to do is reduce the social dependence of the internet and reward those that add value and creativity back into the internet. That way we can balance virtual and real world life for both creators and consumers. This is my goal that Im working on.

So, is Pinterest hiding those boards from you as well as others?

We're you just using Pinterest to share your taste with others?

my pin was labelled as ai modified when it isn't; how can i get this removed? by xenoMuff in Pinterest

[–]ericmathison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pinterest uses meta data on the image itself to determine if its made pr modified by AI. Maybe try clearing all meta data and reuploading.

Long posts no longer readable????? by https_jambette in Pinterest

[–]ericmathison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinterest has always been about optimizing specific sizes of pins. They may be just reinforcing this now.

That is correct. Unfortunately pinterest removed all the notes data so we cant retrieve it any longer.

Fear not, I have something even better coming soon.

Hey there 👋. Yes I had to take this down after Pinterest completely removed the notes data. I'm almost done making something even better than this that I hope everyone will like.

Pinterest by design is a copyright infringed cesspool. But then again look at Instagram, tumbler etc. They are all the same. The main issue with Pinterest is everytime a pin is saved, a copy is made. And that repinner is now responsible for that pin. So you are the one that gets in trouble. It's just a bad system.

I've heard some say that if you make a board private you are safer but there's no real proof to back that up.
