This is why I switched to Astro/React in 2024. I wonder where I would be now if I had stuck things out. Svelte is very fast and elegant. I found that I can use Astro for anything I thought I might need NextJS for though.

It's a beautiful language

Last week, my wife who grew up in a hilltribe away from the modern world was using Gemini for this exactly. She found out that some face cream she bought was fake. I've been working with AI for the last 8 years. I didn't want to pollute her mind with AI and tech because I love the way she walks around thinking about fruit and trees and nature but she learned how to use AI by herself. She uses it for learning how to do things in "the city" like booking airplanes and hotels and asks Gemini questions all the time.

"Less than 10% of those interactions fully automate tasks." - that's because they are measuring use of Google's models. People are using Antrophic's models for automation and coding. My wife is from a tribe in the mountains where they live like they live off the land, cooking with fire like they did 1000 years ago. She uses Gemini to learn how to live in the city - book flights and hotels, stuff like that. I use Claude Code every day to automate my tasks. Google has a very different type of user than Antrophic and Open AI.

good idea. who did you use to print it?

Almost exactly the same for me

A blast from the past. I used his scripts for sending email from forms. The internet was a very nice place back then.

The narrative is moving towards KYC

How did this get to the front page?

i gave claude code my design system that i built in figma and haven't opened it again. it's much faster designing with your voice.

just wondering... do you think bun's rewrite with ai was vibe coded or engineered with ai? i know it wasn't perfect in the beginning but i think it was good engineering and what was built will make it faster and better.

you can actually do everything most people do in next with vite/astro. i was worried to do it but i haven't ran into any problems i couldn't solve.

the dx is wonderful if you give claude code your global api key. and the price is amazing. you can deploy complex web apps for free. i love vite and astro which is built on vite. i ran both on cloudflare before they were bought by them. i'm happy. at least they weren't bough by adobe.

so we shouldn't talk to humans when an ai can give an answer?

Here's a link to a few sample chapters https://vivianvoss.net/assets/files/integrated-by-design-pre... I enjoyed reading them - they presented a very clear arguement to select FreeBSD over Linux

why not just use https://getutm.app/ ?

I've been thinking a lot about what AI agents buy, and what can I sell to them. If you are the owner of an agent that has a wallet can you share what it has bought or sold?

I think building apps and websites for other people is mad depressing. It went from "move this up there, and change that colour to pink" to a client ruining a beautiful site by using a nocode tool. Now they have superpowers to ruin it by adding AI generated code as well. AI can generate absolutely beautiful code if it is generated on the right architecture with the right patterns and rules. The problem isn't the AI it's the people telling AI and developers what to do.

Hello. I was delighted to see Penpot get a lot of traction when Adobe were going to buy Figma. I'm not a fan of Adobe because they killed so many of my favourite products. I switched from Macromedia (acquired by Adobe) Fireworks to Sketch to Figma and probably would have moved from Figma to Penpot already but I simply don't need Figma anymore. I use Shadcn UI and Claude Code to do my design these days without every having to touch Figma. All I need is a lightweight image editor that can crop and optimise some vectors and bitmaps now and again. I'd like if I had a lightweight design system that syncs designs with my code and the code with my design but I don't really need it. It looks like you are building something like this. Your MCP should be more usable with the new Claude Opus model and their new advanced tool use https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/advanced-tool-use but it would be useful to package that functionality into a tool that can call servers without needing MCP. Then I would give it to my Claude Code design subagent without worrying about it polluting my context window. I took the time to write this because I really like what you are trying to do and your new Open Nitrate business model is wonderful. I wish you lots of luck.

You can make your website run fast as well with https://astro.build - it strips the Javascript and uses HTML until js is needed. You can get 300ms page loads for outcrop.app with Astro on Cloudflare Pages. Good luck with the project. I requested early access - You should use the response to the form submit requesting access better - I mean somebody who added their email expressed a lot of intent - why end the conversation with a toast notification? I hope life is going well in Dublin.

This is so cool. Good luck with your venture.

Maybe you could use your software to help them support other frameworks

You don't need a course ... just build something with Claude Code and Shadcn UI

Some parents of infants would be able to find a way to feed their children safely.

They used to be open source but closed around the same time they made a partnership with Open AI. Wonderful product though.

You just don't understand that AI becoming smarter than humans

Do you want free email for multiple addresses on multiple domains with all the features of a Gmail? Just setup Cloudflare to manage your email, create rules to forward to regular Gmail accounts, which you can configure to send email from your domains. 100% free.

n8n is a very practical way to build them.

Langchain abstracts too much and you can't really see what's going on or control the flow of data with real precision. They are fixing that though and now you have much better visibility into what's being inferred. I think Langchain is pretty useful though, especially if you want to integrate with something quickly.
