Your secret is safe, hah! It's almost like you need an intermediate 'cheap/dumb' AI as a proxy to flesh everything out ahead of sending it off to be coded ... something that crisps up all the requirement and ultimately crafts a more cost-effective and likely all-around-better prompt. Even being semi-technical, I'm always surprised how much the details matter when describing something to AI (e.g., the fireworks should only explode _outward_, not inward, lol). Thanks!
First, as a non-developer geek -- super fun.
What happens if you go over 100 messages/month?
I just burned my 5 free messages to get a simple toggle button working that just says "win" (with animated fireworks!) and "lose". I'm sure I'm not an efficient prompter, but it seems I'd knock out 100 messages easily in an afternoon, which looks to be the monthly limit at $20/mo.
(This is coming from someone who has no idea how expensive it would be to 'vibe code' using something like Claude ... so it may be an entirely unfair assumption that you could chat with this 'unlimited' for $20/mo ... that's what I have in my head as 'reasonable' only because that's what I pay for Gemini or ChatGPT and, for all intents and purposes, it feels 'unlimited'.)
Haha still thinking through that. But potentially!
Yeah, and that’s kind of exactly what I am looking for. This is niche enough that I am likely overly concerned someone would do real work to “steal” it. But I also always lock my car, even if someone can still smash the window. :)
While you are right, this isn’t what I was hoping to hear :), I do really appreciate the helpful response. Thank you!

from the ask-hn dept.
Hey I am the odd non-engineer/dev here (although long-time geek for sure!) that has read HN for years. So first please consider this, first, as a “thank you” to everyone from whom I have learned so much just reading fascinating articles everyone has posted and likewise following the many lively discussions that have ensued.And if I am asking this question the wrong way (or thinking about it the...
Also agreed. Enjoy getting these as one of the first emails in the morning. They are always well written, informative, and fun.
