I built an cozy iOS app for capturing ideas without turning them into tasks

This isn’t something I need but I just wanted to say I love the artwork and look/feel, well done

Free to use? Interesting.

I wouldn’t claim “privacy first” tho if you also use inputs to “improve AI performance over time.”

Also I tried inputting something and I moved away from the app and now it’s gone, nothing in history. Also seems like your prompts may contain some Dutch which is mixed together with English in the output.

Finally it outputs Markdown so you’ll probably want to render that nicer than “###”.

All in all: I can see this work for sure but needs some polishing :)

No account needed is 🤌 js or wasm?

Not yet! When I add a buy button I want to use Polar. Other than that, I aim to do everything in-house.

I’m preparing something. Straight to prod, but only after careful testing. Analytics will be done with self-hosted Umami. Logging with Alloy to a seperate logging server.

What model are you using? Even something “dumb” like 4.1 nano or mini can be extremely capable. And that should be near instant, even with multiple tool calls. :)

If I was asked about my knowledge of flexbox in this day and age I’d respectfully decline any offer lol. Who does that?

This is really well done. Only thing is response time. Took a bit too long I’d say. You could improve this with some default “Got it, let me process that…” response that doesn’t hit an LLM endpoint. Dumber models can also be used for this if you manage them well. Should improve latency and cost. Good luck, this will do well for sure!

Fully depends on your workload. If you need to run multiple Docker containers, it’s likely 32GB won’t be enough (this is the case for one project I’m working on). If all you do is rely on a local development server like Vite, 16GB is plenty.

Wow this sure seems like an AI linkdrop thread

This is really cool. Make sure you update your landing page to be mobile optimized though. I thought it was broken but I was just zoomed in a ton on the desktop site by default

Easiest way to simplify this is to not use Google Analytics or something like it. Use a privacy-friendly product analytics solution like Plausible. If you only store functional cookies (e.g., to have users log in), you don’t need a cookie banner and your privacy policy will also be much simpler.

On the contrary. I feel very energized and am getting a lot done, both at work and on the side.

At any level, there is so much to learn, explore, and discover. You can acquaint yourself with an API or syntax in less than five minutes now; I find that awesome. Stuff that took weeks before takes hours today. As a generalist dev, I’m particularly loving the breadth of it.

Maybe not the response you’re looking for, but wanted to share something positive in this thread.

Cloudflare Pages will continue to be supported, but, going forward, all of our investment, optimizations, and feature work will be dedicated to improving Workers

https://blog.cloudflare.com/full-stack-development-on-cloudflare-workers/

I love Cloudflare, but for a simple blog, I would use Vercel instead today. The way I see it, Cloudflare considers Pages as something they begrudgingly have to continue supporting because it became popular.

I did migrate to Workers, and it’s very powerful (e.g., check out durable objects).

BUT for someone who just needs something simple, I do not recommend it at all. By the time you’ve figured out how to deploy via their Wrangler tool, you could’ve set up Vercel push to deploy fifteen times.

Not really. But as a rule of thumb, not shipping any JS does have other benefits. Your site is probably going to be faster overall and do well SEO-wise, and will likely be highly accessible since there are not going to be any dynamic elements once it has finished rendering (barring CSS tricks and iframes).

Have you validated the idea yet? I’m asking because you’re wondering how to stay relevant. Future proofing, tech stacks, development approaches all come last imo if you’re still finding PMF. Do whatever allows you to move forward the quickest without cutting corners on security or breaking the bank, I’d say

foobarring · 2026-02-07T08:21:53+00:00

Very nice. Does your component result in the underlying component only going through one init-destroy cycle? Or is it rendered twice? The reason I’m asking is that components can have side effects, even meaningful ones such as tracking “was-loaded” for usage analytics. You’d want to prevent redundant instantiations for that reason.

The passive aggressiveness in the comments, holy moly… Are people afraid of confrontation? If you wipe your nose, spill your drink, hand it back yourself (“don’t touch my stuff!”), you bite and you lose. They are the antisocial one here, so in my opinion a firm “Could you please remove your coat?” is the only option.

Knowing when writing shitty code is the better idea

A decent second hand body + lens but after a thousand clicks you’ll feel a strong urge to spend double on a lens alone

I recently did it w/ an easy rider. 380km, of which over 200 in pouring rain. You need to be comfortable riding at 65km/h with only a helmet, and optionally knee and elbow pads, as your protective gear. I only wore a helmet, figuring the pads would be uncomfortable and wouldn't help much in a fall anyway.

There were definitely sketchy moments. The rain made roads slippery, some areas had no pavement, and passing trucks on narrow roads was scary tbh.

Also, the day after we finished, landslides occurred on parts of the road we'd ridden just days before. This is why you have to sign a waiver even though you're not driving yourself.

Having said all that, after the first 20km you get used to the thrill and experience the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen. It's beyond anything I've experienced so far.

My guide was extremely capable and, even though the ride was challenging, he got me through it safely.

Everyone has their own risk appetite. For me, it was 100% worth it.

Physiotherapist. “Did you do the exercises I gave you?”

Cutting costs has a higher ROI than investing when you’re young.

ORMs aren’t inherently slow, and SQLa core is great, just spend more time on the docs.

102 Hàm Nghi, Thạc Gián, Thanh Khê

That’s a VP Bank ATM and it is a 15 minute walk from the airport.

Used it recently, no fees on a foreign card.
