I think it’s a jokey term for when you use ai to copy an existing project
Re:Shader Lab, like Photoshop but for shaders on Sunday April 19, 2026 @01:12PM (#47825832)
Ah nice! I enjoyed trying out your product when it was launched which called this app to mind. Commendable attitude!
Re:Shader Lab, like Photoshop but for shaders on Sunday April 19, 2026 @01:10PM (#47825814)
Maybe a little harsh yes. But compare these screenshots of the two products/features

Did you try the shader.com shader editor where you stack shaders and effects in layers? V similar approach!

yeah I didn't notice the CM wasn't out til september and searched for it too.

The I wasted time reading (very mixed!!) reviews for the ones I'd not read so I just pulled the trigger on Revelation Space and will see how I get on!

I made this! Excited to be featured on HN again, and thanks for all the nice comments. I built it for myself really but happy others enjoy it. It uses nuxt/supabase/netlify functions. Happy to answer any questions either here or on my contact form https://www.blackspike.com/contact/

Re:LosslessCut: lossless video/audio editing on Tuesday December 13, 2022 @12:43PM (#33972566)
Just tried this on a screen recording I made, really simple way to cut out boring bits e.g loading/waiting times, mousing etc. Great, I'll use this again!
Re:If PHP Were British (2011) on Friday December 02, 2022 @07:38AM (#33829722)
It's just the author's dry, tongue-in-cheek British humour. He's not really attacking anything – just a bit of fun using English instead of American English.
Re:If PHP Were British (2011) on Friday December 02, 2022 @06:39AM (#33829227)
Us regular human beings call this 'fun' if that's any help to you?
Re:Nuxt 3.0 Stable on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @11:48AM (#33626206)
Really impressed with Nuxt 3, much faster with Vite and tons of devx improvemnts.

Also very much enjoying MDC https://content.nuxtjs.org/guide/writing/mdc to embed components in Markdown, much like https://mdxjs.com/

Re:Supabase Series B on Friday August 12, 2022 @11:24AM (#32439953)
I'm trying out supabase db & auth for a side project and I'm very impressed so far.

I would love to have a usage-based pricing tier, as once I'm live I doubt I'll have enough users to merit $25/mo but I would still like to pay for daily backups etc
