What's the story? Why did he leave /dev/finance before it became stripe?
Re:Cross platform Rust app that just shows Git diffs on Thursday October 29, 2026 @03:33PM (#50294571)
Call me old fashioned, but I still like to review the code they are changing and sanity check things.

And so lately, pretty much the only reason I have VSCode open anymore is to view the diffs of what my agents are working on.

I wanted just a simple, lightweight, fast and KEYBOARD powered git diff viewer.

Suprisingly there were not many options, so I just kept using VSCode.

Eventually, I decided to just build it using GPUI (amazing) and have been pretty happy with it so far. Been using it a couple weeks and has actually replaced VScode for me most of the time.

So thought i'd share it here in case anyone else is looking for something similar.

It's open source as well, so feel free to just run it yourself or make a PR or critique my (agents) rust code: https://github.com/hitSlop/Diffy

Theres still some features I want to add but for the most part I really just want it to be a simple to use and fast git diff viewer.

If you are on Windows/Linux i'd love to know if it's working ok over there as I havn't really stress tested those.

Man, I really hate meta stuff. Not only do they make it impossible to pay for running ads, but everytime I try and pay to try out Muse code I get an error message. I swear they would make 10x more money if they didn't make it impossible to pay them

This is the approach Bento took I believe (similar idea, but just for decks): https://github.com/nyblnet/bento.

Saw it on HN a few weeks back

“Capsule.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

For anyone else that's been thinking a lot about Ted this year, I recommend this (weird) youtube series:

Interesting, havn't noticed that. Mine will work for hours. Maybe i'm still in the "get them hooked" phase. Just started using it last week.
Re:Grok Outage on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:48AM (#49551988)
Been very skeptical for awhile but decided to try it cause it was like $30 for 3 months or something. I cancelled my Claude subscription (still have codex), but been pretty impressed with the grok CLI. Nice TUI and seems intelligent thus far.

Ah, yes, because I trust a social network founded by a guy that helped build Pornhub
Thanks for the reply, sounds great, going to dive in!
I’ve been obsessed with everything durable lately and this is good timing as electric just got acquired so the state of their durable streams project is unknown.

Have you looked into the semantics of their like StreamDB stuff ? Pretty interesting

Also there is this that was built on top of it. Sounds somewhat similar goal as yours but I could be off. Need to explore more https://ursula.tonbo.io/

Re:App Store Rejection of the Week: Dark Hours on Friday August 07, 2026 @05:50PM (#49216637)
Don't worry. The next time you spend lots of time developing an app, Apple will be sure to reject it multiple times ;p
Re:App Store Rejection of the Week: Dark Hours on Friday August 07, 2026 @04:26PM (#49215801)
Somewhat, but still very subjective. https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#spa...

You can still always get around them (at least my experience), but it just takes a lot of time

They arn't against Astrology apps. It's that there are a few categories where apple has just stopped allowing new ones since there are so many.
Re:The Warp Agent CLI on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @03:21PM (#49173612)
The other day in warp I literally couldn't run `ls` because it kept interpreting it as a AI command. I still love warp, but some of the stuff is crazy.
Using Figma to make app store screenshots was always my least favorite part of launching an app.

Since the first image models started coming out i've been testing each on making app store screenshots, hoping one would be able to handle it.

Finally, with OpenAIs gpt image 2, it was finally possible!

I made an open source library that gained some traction but not everyone had gpt image 2 API Keys (you need to be verified corp) so I decided to make it as a MCP that you can add to any agent.

It's very simple to use. When you are done coding it up, add the MCP and tell it to make screenshots. It will pull in reference image, screenshots and your theme and research the space then propose some ideas that you can approve/refine.

I also handle revisions and translations as well as app store copy.

Would love any feedback and if you run out of the free three screenshots but not ready to pay feel free to message the chat I can give you some more credits for feedback!

Re:The Exhaustion of Talking to a Tool on Friday June 26, 2026 @12:31PM (#48688586)
Man, I don't know. LLMs (with the good and bad) feel like the first time a tool has genuinely been an extension of me. And quite the opposite. I'm a quite introverted person. Spending time in a meeting or talking with other humans I find quite exhausting. I don't really get that at all with talking with LLMs.
Very interesting, but wild to me how much this guy resembles Elon (in not only appearance but also mannerisms and way he speaks)
