Is anyone here using using these models via google subscription (not api). I tried to in the past using gemini cli and then agy - headless invoked by codex and claude code, but they were so incredibly buggy that it stalled 1/2 times and I cancelled. Interested to know if that has changed!
Common names are much easier for people to copy over and check. As opposed to a random jumble of numbers and letters.

Have you checked out zeptomail by zoho? Not as low cost, but getting close. More basics build in.
Use the AI to teach you. I’m similar not full coder, although tinkered since I started in early 2000’s with html in notepad :)

I made a /teach-me slash-command. Everytime I run into something I want to know about I run it. It launches a background subagent (forking context) that check (and updates) my ‘learning-profile.md’. I can pass additional requests, but otherwise it just deduces from context.

It then creates an explainer/lesson. And sends it to my kindle (using a custom created mcp) - so I can read it offline. Not breaking my flow.

I’ve never learned so much so quickly, about everything. It’s awesome.

I use the same mcp from phone apps. Everytime I want to learn something I just ask.

Also: learn about the GIT concepts (not commands). You’ll learn much quicker when you can mess up and retry ;)

I wanted to add the claude code changelog to my rss reader. It didn’t have a rss feed. Now it does. Had claude code built it: https://claude-code-changelog-rss.stevenmenke.workers.dev/fe...

Repo should work with any github hosted changelog file. https://github.com/stevenmenke/claude-code-changelog-rss

Did you use the /init command in Claude Code at the start?

That builds the main claude.md file. If you don’t have that file CC starts each new session completely oblivious to your project like a blank slate.

Ha so cool, would love one for in my bedroom ;-)

I know of a Dutch company doing something similar. Focusses on pest detecting/mitigation in greenhouses atm: https://www.pats-drones.com/

Just launched a little form-tool to integrate feedback gathering into all of my projects easily. Decided to make a standalone thing out of it.

As simple and personal as can be. Straight to inbox.

Optimized for coding agents DX through full customization and data appending by url parameters.

https://formvoice.com Appreciate any feedback!

Added specific instructions on how to set up and use bookmarklets on android chrome/firefox. Based on feedback elsewhere.
Hi HN! Would love any feedback or suggestions. I'm still iterating on it :) I'm considering creating a Chrome extension when the need is there. Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: HNping 'remind me later' for HN via web push

https://hnping.com/

HNping lets you set a reminder for a HN post. You get a web push browser notification when it's time, and clicking it takes you back to the post. That's it.I built HNping because I kept stumbling on HN posts where the discussion still had to get going. Wanted to revisit, but didn't want to create even more bookmarks/etc I'll just forget about. So I created a 'remind me later' tool (like the...
