These aren't good. They have the same llm-speak that has pithy short sayings but are strung together not in a way that unfolds naturally and clearly but only as generally conceptually related.
Good explainer videos need a human teacher to craft the narrative and exposition.
A vocabulary flash card app. I know I know, there's a million.
None of them had share extension feature so whenever you are reading on the web or in a book you highlight the word share directly to the app and it automatically looks up the definition.
Also added a voice review (with gemini native audio model) so you can chat your reviews.

I've kept a running list of what to do with extra tokens. Would love other ideas people have.

Nutshell subscribes you to RSS feeds and emails you a daily digest. Each morning it fetches new articles, runs them through an LLM, and sends you a summary to your inbox.
The main configurable piece is the summary format. You can set writing style (bullet points, narrative, technical, casual, or a free-form custom system prompt) and reading length (short ~1-2 min, medium ~5-10 min, long ~10-20 min). Changes take effect on the next send, no re-generating history.

This is little croppy app.
The problem I was having was that when I was passing UI screens to coding agents, I know I should break down the screen into all the components and pass 1 component per turn in order to get the best component generation.
But this was annoying because you just have to do all the cropping in figma/photoshop. So I made this little utility app.
- Upload UI (Mobile or Desktop)
- Passes it to AI to analyze into components
- You fine tune cropping (this happens client-side, super fast)
- Export images
Free - 1 Page
$5 - 100 Pages
Let me know if you want any features.
Have you used it? I use it for both hands free and read later. When I'm on a webpage I just use the safari share sheet to send it to ElevenLabs Reader and then just listen whenever I have time.
Thought the same thing.
I, however, have not written any containerization code.
Really cool, but in 3d modeling triangles are a "no no". You are taught early on to design in quads.
just do back and forward really quick and no ads:
⌘+[ and ⌘+]
I had early access to this and I can tell you it is insane. It allows you to build your backend logic so fast without losing any control over more customized code. This is my goto now.

Midjourney, Dalle 2, Stable Diffusion all came out seemingly at once. It seems that there was a very quick jump in technology. How? Why?
I would check out low-code tools. They are insanely powerful now. For the web use www.weweb.io and for mobile use www.flutterflow.io.
That's really cool. One change would be for nested structures I wouldn't put and arrow but have it be a property with the rest of the properties that then has an arrow to the contents.

Whenever this type of criticism is made about a digital property you need to ask if that behavior is incentivized by the design of the product or is it just human nature.
Whenever I see these campaigns and emails I always think, "this could be solved by 1 ad"
