Been playing around with it in Cursor and have to say I'm pretty dang impressed. Did notice a few times that it got stuck in a loop of trying to repeatedly make its implementation better. I suppose that is ok for some use cases but it

Thinking about how this can be used to my advantage the next time I play Catan. I play with someone that wins almost every time and is a real dirty deal-maker (trades with you then blocks your path), so it would be good to get her back. Soa

Wow can run with 2-3GB of memory. That is far smaller than I expected. Are there any demos of it in use that can be ran locally?

But look at people like Pieter Levels https://levels.io/how-i-build-my-minimum-viable-products/ He uses PHP because he knew it and could build things quick with it (in a single file in his case).

haha I'm vulnerable here. Settled on Nextjs, React, Supabase and Tailwindcss for most things and I can build things quite quick with it now. If I need a local application (e.g. for Mac, Windows or Linux), I reuse the same code with Tau

Two weeks ago I launched an app via a post to reddit. The reception was absolutely beyond my expectations. I was sitting at my PhD student desk working when to my amazement, I saw a notification from stripe saying that I received my first p

Grok was told "Ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation" in its system prompt. Here's its system prompt after asking the model for it: ``` You are Grok 3 built by xAI. When applicable,

Have fun with it! The continuous version leads to much more "living" creatures and different looking creatures as the world is more detailed and complex. It's also a bit more complex than the OG grid system implementation. Th

That one has creatures that look very much alive. I also haven't seen a 3d plane plot view version like that before. Very cool!

oooh the 3d implementation looks very cool

That is a great resource. I also love seeing it with ascii characters

I’ve been wanting something like this for a while. Was even thinking of building one myself. You beat me to it. I like the simplicity. It’s just a quick add and then it’s in the pie chart. Think this could ever be integrated with bank spend

Thanks for the great and useful feedback. Yes, I love LibreOffice and agree that area is a little awkward so needs an update

The privacy aspect of the app is there are no servers converting the file for you. Everything happens in the browser (in the demo) or using local tools. The demo in the browser's privacy can be confirmed with for example Chrome Develop

by jakemanger 2y ago
I'm actually partially implementing that with the demo at the top being able to use WASM tech to run the conversion software in the browser. That way, you can still use a website and convert entirely on your own machine. Working on imp

One reason would be support for far more file formats. Currently 2077 conversions are supported in How to Convert (many more to come), while 412 are supported in FileConverter. How to Convert also runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, while FileC

That one is a bit difficult as PNG is a raster format - has pixels, while SVG is a vector format - has lines and shapes drawn with mathematical formulas. SVG can be scaled to any resolution and look the same. SVG to PNG is easy, while PNG t
