I like that the bugs can be dragged out of the way, should have that in all apps.

Yes indeed, same here!
Edit shell pipeline and see its output update live, without re-running the upstream side.

1. Pipeline source is cached in a temporary file, reducing the need to repeatedly fetch from an online source until sed/grep filters are correct. Pressing enter will still create the result, saving command in your command history for later use. 2. Written originally for my own use when I fetched remote lists e.g. using GCP tools or cURL and when I had to get sed commands right to format the output. zsh-halfpipe lets you iterate on filters, regexes, and other pipeline stages in place by pressing Ctrl-G. 3. Supports infinite amount of pipe (|) delimited segments.

Good to see work in non-AI world and for Rails!

I would make it clear in the landing page that the components are for demonstration purposes by adding a title like "For example" before them.

The above the fold looks a bit packed right now. I would leave the login box out until user presses top right as it's for retentive users only.

I was thinking about AI slop in image generation that the post illustrates with the MAIN STREET vs MAI STREEP sample.

I feel like I get 90% the same benefit from AI generated images today than what I got from GIPHY 12 years ago.

Cool! This brings to my mind that it would be cool to have a local LLM chat that is able to point to certain places in a book I'm reading offline and have it recommend portions of the book I should focus on.
