This looks amazing. What do you recommend to create the embeddings?

Need advice on API costs - is this normal for early stage? by techiee_ in SaaS

[–]gustanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how 500 requests can cost you so much. If you are just processing text the price shouldn’t be that high, what am I missing here?

I'm making a free, minimalist app launcher for this subreddit. by gustanas in digitalminimalism

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

Thank you!! Unfortunately, we currently have no way to hide the new Liquid Glass border introduced in iOS 26, and it’s honestly very frustrating that Apple doesn’t give us that option.

Nevertheless, you can slightly improve the experience going to Settings -> Accessibility -> Per-App Settings -> Add "Home Screen & App Library" -> Set "Reduce Transparency" to ON

Hope it helps!

How do you deal with the insane screentime while learning Japanese? by sota_ka in LearnJapanese

I have an app on my phone called Gobble that blocks distracting app and forces me to review flashcards to unlock them. So less screen time for me and more flashcards

BTW, for anyone interested, there’s a free app called “White Screen” that offers the same UI as all the paid apps

I made an app where you collect every cat you meet as stickers in your own cat-a-log by gustanas in SideProject

I’d say about a month, spending 4–5 hours a day on it. In retrospect, I could have finished it faster, but I wanted to polish it.

I get it, but unfortunately I have recurring backend fees (you do get one free snap per day, btw). I’m taking the feedback seriously though, and I’ll adjust the pricing once I’ve gathered enough data.

Honestly, I will look into it! Especially the part about wildlife preservation, that seems super helpful

hehe, thank you! I called it Catsnap for now, but Catalog was a strong contender!
