Show HN: Built This in 3 Hours Using Bolt (No React Knowledge)

9 points by kanishkdan98 2y ago

It's blowing my mind that I could build an app from scratch in 3 hours and deploy it with the click of a button - without writing a single line of code myself CacheNotes is a browser-based note-taking app that saves your notes, threads, and AI conversations securely in your browser's local storage 100% free. No login required. You get, - simple, minimal note taking app in your browser - no login required - you can connect your claude api key for the ai integration - visualise notes and twitter threads Check it out! Would love some feedback :)

That's gonna cause people to lose their notes when their browser clears local storage. It's not meant for persistent data. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to be so negative. It's cool that AI can build so much these days. But that just jumped out to me.

  Yep true, it's not mean for persistent data. I just wanted a simple, minimal note-taking software that didn't require logging in. Though if there's any interest from folks, I could probably add a google sign in plus a backend service to store data (apart from the local storage)

What does it mean to visualize a Twitter thread? Seems like it's just a few text input boxes?
- kanishkdan98 2y ago
  yeah exactly that, I wanted a simple visualisation of how my twitter thread would look like it before posting it. The AI helps on the side with the writing part in the same window.

What's Bolt? A search claims a ride sharing service, a Disney movie, and some shopping thing.

  https://bolt.new/ https://bolt.new/ "Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web apps." according to them.

    I prompted Bolt with a very simple task that I've spent years of my life developing (a specific scenario only possible via browser automation). Bolt invented a plausible, but fictitious, API on the third party to call.

If I used your app and found a bug, who would write the code to fix it? If I wanted an authoritative answer about some technical aspect of the system before I decided to use/pay for it, who would be able to answer it?

  1) I would / the AI would, in bolt you can directly edit the codebase 2) Building an app from scratch with AI was just a cool fun experiment, I'll never charge for using this

  The hero we need will write a tampermonkey firefox script that'll hide any HN post that contains the following keywords: - in X Hours - With no knowledge - no code - AI, Sonnet, GPT This is what happens when the barrier to writing applications is zero, and the levee hasn't even BEGUN to breach yet.

  Hahah sorry. It was just meant to be a cool, fun experiment with AI.
