Built a tool that helps me re-organize my furniture on a new apartment layout (had to move a couple of times recently).

I wrapped this up a while ago, but sharing because a few friends found it useful.

same here, until I closed our startup ~6 months ago and decided to do nothing after 19 years of working hard and pushing upwards. I lived with my partner so I wasn't paying rent, and now I changed my mind about retiring - I can't wait. I still got to dabble, I helped a founder friend with her core tech, I visited friends, played a bunch of video games, spent more time with my partner, and I loved it. Time felt comfy, I purposefully was not looking for work, my stress levels went down, I walked my dog at least an hour a day. I'm now going back to work, even harder problems and responsibilities, and while I'm likely to enjoy that, I am now looking forward to when I don't have to (assuming that happens)

Show HN: I built a tool with AI to lay out furniture on floor plans

I was facing a possible move and wanted an easier way to visualize how my furniture might fit into different apartments. The tools I found were complicated and didn't do what I needed, so I used AI (Augment) to create a tool for it callled FurniMapper [0] and a demo/tutorial [1].I'm a product manager, used to be a dev and can still code. I'm not an LLMs-to-AGI guy, and I still find these models...
