I am the maker of SnipCSS. https://www.snipcss.com Just like with other tools such as yt-dlp, the user is required to use it responsibly. As long as you don't copy text/images/svg, the only issue is going to be &

I can't believe this demo hasn't been deleted yet: https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1790089521985466587 Giggly, flirty AI voice demos were already weird, but now it's even creepier knowing the back

I must be an outlier - I'm in my 40s and haven't listened to former favorites like Radiohead forever. Darkwave, Phonk, Witchhouse, Glitch Hop, KPop, and a lot of electronic music that crosses genres are what I listen to now.

That's extremely disappointing. They have time to build a Visual Studio Extension that competes with Cursor, but don't have time to release an API that would enable hundreds of new extensions/workflows. Only reason I pay for

Solo or small team devs who hate modern tooling. Good example is levelsio guy: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1750175827197567165 I'm also in that camp and still use jQuery. My current SaaS is an extens

I'm in Chicago - I pay for a personal office at a coworking space ($500 / mon) To justify doing that I live in a dorm-type situation where I have shared bathroom and kitchen and only my large bedroom is private. ($800 / mon)

If you've been over there lately, it's more like they're converting a zombie-apocalypse mall into a Googler campus. It was already dirty and decaying pre-pandemic, but now it looks exactly like something out of 'The Last

Not exciting enough for a new consumer device. OpenAI needs to leapfrog into robotics, that’s the only hardware that makes sense.

It just intercepts any files of "text/css" mime types appends them all together while also including the content of <style> tags. If anyone wants something more specific that gets a section's CSS and all associated

Oh man, this comment hits too close to home. Spent 2+ years building my developer tool extension SnipCSS as a side project and I still only make $1K MRR. You want to write 100k lines of code and make $1k / month? Sell a developer tool

Cloudflare doesn’t like my VPN so I get a lot of their challenges. Now whenever I see one I just close the tab. Let’s say you run a SaaS using Cloudflare. You may be extremely happy you block 10000 bot requests for every false positive tha

15 years? No one will do webdev with a keyboard by then. You'll be arranging UI blocks in augmented reality IDE completely powered by AI. AI will use WASM and upon request it will gladly convert to your language/framework of choi

I made a Chrome extension called SnipCSS that is made for not-good-at-ui devs. Instead of using a framework, I just rip other sections of website designs I like using my tool. The paid version even scopes the snippet and gets all responsiv

Doesn't sound like a very promising company if your own developers rather use a different framework than dogfood their own. Isn't that kind of admitting defeat?

I agree it needs AI, but I was thinking it could be kept simple. You put features, ideal customers and the benefits on a board, then AI devises copy/messaging you could put in different places (on a landing page, in a social media pos

Sounds similar to when Google said: As a news website you don't NEED to use AMP. You'll just never appear in Google's news carousel, and won't be at the top of the news search results anymore. Sorry :( Way too risky

How is everyone else's MV3 upgrade going? I have 3 extensions and each one has multiple feature-breaking changes that will take hundreds of hours to implement less than ideal work arounds. I guess I'll focus on SnipCSS ( https:&#

I agree. I decided my chrome extension (Productivity Owl) should only store data locally because I didn't like the idea of managers abusing it. The owl is enough of an asshole to simulate a real boss for me.
