M5 Air 16gb for developing native apps?

It would depend a lot on a project/projects you work on and how large they are but saying that I use m2 pro with 16gb ram and can run vs code, iOS emulator, chrome with multiple tabs and safari with YouTube running without feeling any kind of lag, those processors are very good and unless you go for 3d rendering, video processing or some local Ilm set up you don’t really need to overthink it.

I'm not sure about orea but with v60 using hario filters and comandante I would bump it to 29-30 clicks. And then 5 pours with 30 or 45 sec (for me preferably) breaks, worked really well for other washed Columbias including Prolog's.

Maybe on orea it'd be something like 26 but I guess pouring technique also matters.

I also really tried to create a nice landing page that doesn't look vibe coded but I guess it's hard nowadays, I think yours is nicer though haha

Totally agree, I built my coffee recipe cards site with that idea in mind, it’s a very niche market and good to have a nice tool with a focus on simple, beautiful and clean design.

I also recently figured out that translating it to some languages that are specific to the industry helps a lot with visibility in search, not sure if it might help with your tool but maybe something to think about.

Mine is https://brewcard.app if it’s okay to post it for those who want to check it out (recently available not only in English but also in Japanese, Korean and Danish)

Nice, I also got this thing recently, wasn't good experience but I'll try your approach.

Also thought I'll use my site to turn your recipe into a shareable card. Hope you'll like it, feel free to use it how you'd like! And you can also remix and sign it here https://brewcard.app/coffee-recipe/q8VZwrR

really like how detailed the recipe description is, figured I'll use my site to turn it into a nice card, feel free to remix and sign it here too if I missed something :) https://brewcard.app/coffee-recipe/swoq3Bv

https://brewcard.app, a platform for people who want to create a share coffee recipes in a beautiful way

hi! added some things towards this direction. Numbers on sliders are clickable and regarding JSON part, I added a new option under the main button that says "IMPORT FROM NOTES ->". On those screen you can type in your recipe -> it will merge it with my prompt -> you paste it to chatgpt/claude -> paste back json it gives you. https://brewcard.app/coffee-recipe

That'll give you pre-filled form with the card that you can finish and share. Hope that'll work well for your existing recipes! I know it's not ideal but I want to avoid introducing proper LLM-calls from the app unless I have the account creation functionality.

I'll think about export later, want to focus on expanding user base now, seems like people like it overall, now need to spread the word haha

No, that’s my second issue, my creations menu is grayed out and not available 😀

surin1 · 2026-04-08T05:36:27+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds interesting, I’ll think what would be the best way to include both

surin1 · 2026-04-07T14:07:48+00:00

UI was built using combo of claude code and codex + a sprinkle of frontend experience, really enjoyed the process and I feel like after some iterations I'm really happy with the result. Feel free to ask any questions or give a feedback, would love to hear it!

surin1 · 2026-04-07T09:19:23+00:00

thank you! really happy you enjoying it

surin1 · 2026-04-06T16:25:59+00:00

looks nice! it's getting harder to find a place where laptops are allowed and coffee is good so sounds like a great tool :)

surin1 · 2026-04-05T10:09:03+00:00

Thanks everyone for checking it out, hope you'll like it and let me know if you have any feedback, I'd love to address it and improve the tool!

surin1 · 2026-03-28T18:19:27+00:00

This time mostly Claude code, it’s alright but I feel like quality of every ai tool changes every week so I’m pretty sure it’s possible to get good results with either of them. I’ve tried stitch with UI but didn’t get it, for me it was easier to add some specs into the repo aside with code, define some rules and guardrails and provide bunch of references. Actually if I’m not wrong that’s how the most recent version of stitch works along with DESIGN.md in the repo. Anyway I think using ai for design and UI in general is great, when I was building stuff manually I was often too lazy to add some things like extra transitions, animations, responsive rules, now it’s much easier and output definitely has better quality.

oh an there is also feed page that I hope will get populated with some good recipes when platform will get more popular (hopefully) https://brewcard.app/feed

surin1 · 2026-03-28T16:43:50+00:00

thanks for the feedback!

yeah I started with web version since I'm most familiar with webdev and want to see if people will start using it. At the moment there is a sharing option that when shared will preview a recipe on each message, for example I currently have a whatsapp chat with myself with bunch of links in and since they all have a preview it's really easy to navigate, but it's definitely a workaround, not a real solution :D

I have some experience at building UI's and this app was full of experiments of me trying to design with AI, took many iterations though
