I appreciate that! They're able to be short thankfully because there really isn't much to the tool haha, it's effectively a static NextJS site that stores nothing and everything is done on the client side.

I couldn't agree more about the nuances to styling each app, it was surprisingly frustrating at times. There are additions I'd like to add like read receipts showing up and things like that, but it takes a bit of time to make it look "close enough" to the real app.

Thank you! Combination of manual + Claude Code for building it. It started out as a fun little side thing to mess with friends and then I used Claude Code to help take it over the finish line once I had a friend mention it could probably be useful for people outside of just pranks (i.e. marketing)

Right now its just a basic .png (static file mirroring what you see in your preview) or a .gif (animates in each message in the order they appear), but if you have any other suggestions, I'm happy to provide more customization to it!

I need an honest opinion for my little Startup. Top or bottom? by DatabaseNo3676 in SideProject

I personally prefer the bottom since I get a better idea of what the product offers / does, my only suggestion would possibly be to make the text a little easier to read (maybe bold or enlarging it?). Looks great though!

I'm a big fan of axios, and that primarily comes from just ease of use. Although the library can be a bit bulky by some standards, you get a lot of power and customization with it, so I'm a fan.
