My (briefly viral) personal take: https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io
- a huge chunk of my traffic comes from people who believe this is a real project, because AI tool catalogues keep hallucinating pitches for my AI PRODUCT
- this almost won an award but I lost to a site with 3d rotating sandwiches
- the silver lining: I met a guy who pivoted from startups to making beef jerky. We are a small, exclusive community known to some as the meatverse.
I also made https://butter.sonnet.io https://butter.sonnet.io and people offered to pay me for it.
Perhaps I should monetise my Medieval Content Farm with those native ads in blackletter: https://tidings.potato.horse https://tidings.potato.horse
- tony_cannistra 3y agoGreat projects, amazing work. I'm mostly here though to say thanks for the reminder about `.horse`, which I haven't seen since my friends and I would go on domain-buying blitzes and host static pages with repeating backgrounds of random images on them, in college.
- rpastuszak 3y agohehe do not underestimate the power of edibles and rash decisions! In all seriousness though, I like splitting my projects between two domains: .sonnet.io for the more serious stuff .potato.horse for anything that I might not want to put on my CV. (it's a good tradeoff between keeping one domain for everything and buying vanity domains en masse - which I used to be guilty of)
- eru 3y ago> Perhaps I should monetise my Medieval Content Farm with those native ads in blackletter: https://tidings.potato.horse https://tidings.potato.horse I wanted to like that, but their font is fake. They don't even use the proper ſ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s
- rpastuszak 3y agoThank you for that comment. I'm a bit of a typography nerd (and uſed to tranſlate manuſcripts, albeit in middle-Perſian, not Latin) and I DID conſider using it. β≠ß, right?
- eru 3y agoAgreed. It's a shame that the state of ligatures for Fraktur and similar is so abysmal, even for TeX. Or at least it was the last time I checked.
- art-not 3y agoI think this is an incredibly interesting piece of art. I want to see more websites like this. Thank you for making it, I really enjoyed it
- btown 3y agoIronically, Butter is both really really cool and exactly what generative AI is sustainably good for: reading large amounts of text (in this case video transcripts) for you, the user, and extracting structured or unstructured insights that lead to a more enriched experience. I, too, would pay for it! https://github.com/paprikka/butter/blob/main/src/watcher/detector.ts#L10-L33 https://github.com/paprikka/butter/blob/main/src/watcher/det... But, to OP's point (and possibly meat-gpt's point?) - any app that asks you, the user, to provide it with a whole bunch of unstructured text in real time just to get going... is annoying at best, and disconnected from our primal brains' urges to point at cool things and see cool things change, and share those cool things with real meat-space people. AI is great when it can facilitate less typing, less reading, less irrelevant ad-watching, and more time spent seeing relevant things to say "ooooooh" about. (Also, thank you for making me want banana bread!)
- sandinmyjoints 3y agoI, too, was sick of being asked to write prompts, so I made https://nicer.email/ https://nicer.email/
- com2kid 3y ago> - this almost won an award but I lost to a site with 3d rotating sandwiches meat-gpt is awesome, but now I want to see what won out over it, have a link by chance?
- rpastuszak 3y agohttps://rotatingsandwiches.com https://rotatingsandwiches.com glorious and so forward-looking.
- tangjurine 3y agoSandwich site?
- rpastuszak 3y agonot even one sandwich, but many: https://rotatingsandwiches.com https://rotatingsandwiches.com
- ben_w 3y ago> https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io/ https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io/ Now I'm nostalgic for the early 2000s :)
- rpastuszak 3y agocheck out mmm.page I also post about this sort of stuff occasionally in my TIL notes: untested.sonnet.io (see the note titled "40" and 41).
- llbeansandrice 3y agoDoes butter work on FF? Love these sites!
- rpastuszak 3y agoIIRC it was FF compatible, but I haven't tried using it with FF. Also, it's buggy and doesn't always work. I could be waaaay better with some fine-tuning. Still feels magical when it works.
- ddj231 3y agoLoving your UIs for these projects, they have a nice minimal aesthetic. What's your tech stack if you don't mind me asking, seems Svelte for frontend?
