I wanted a read-aloud extension that could read from the Kindle Online Reader. The ones I tried used voices I did not enjoy listening to or had a UX that was too cluttered or annoying or needed a signup.So I decided to vibe code my own. It is open source and uses open weight models that run in the browser.https://swrdfish.github.io/Narro/

Not everyone can afford the best interior designers, my sister had hired one to design the interiors of her new cafe.. the designer did not provide any renders, just a basic CAD drawing. Then I used nano banana pro to create some renders from the photos of the empty space. These turned out great, and she decided to ditch the designer and use the designs created by nano banana. The cafe has opened now, and it looks great!

Reading through this news article is hilarious.

P.S. I did not have access to internet in 2006, so I guess the skepticism was normal at the time.
