   My worry was more about random failures on Open AI side (I'm building something with it). Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a blog post on how you are handling the quoting issues. Are you planning on sticking with Open AI or is

   > We call the OpenAI API - they don't always answer these days :-( Yikes. That's worrying. Is this rate limiting or API timeouts that need some retry logic wrapped around?

   With pay-per-use services propping up around AI, I'm sensing that asking users to sign up before trial will become inevitable. 1. Is this a HN only phenomenon or is there a significant drop-off in general because of the signup requirem

   This is neat. Congrats on the launch. Having a python repl next to spread sheet will be handy for a lot of user cases.

   I made an infinite canvas specialized editor for poets because I was frustrated with the painful workflow for submitting poetry to magazines: https://koodpad.com/venba .

    Thank you, 'the next to nothing' bit is very helpful. I'd like to have a decent runway and a decent protection for my wallet just in case the MVP takes off in terms of user growth but not in terms of revenue growth.

    +1. If you don't care about the business aspects, you can team up with someone who likes that. 7-8 years of experience is perfect as you are young enough to risk a startup, experienced enough to take it through.

    It was very very popular. I think all the flak it receives now is because of its pervasive usage in the past. We all overreacted and over corrected. It is definitely a very legible font with a lot of accessibility and warmth.

    Emphasis is on "enforcement" than limits and we've applied it to all limits. In general, we (child + parents) agree on some limits. Sometimes they are broken, we discuss and adjust or re-iterate. It does take more time initi

    Suggestion based on our parenting results, YMMV: 1. Enforced limits are adversarial. 2. Conversations around how the internet/devices etc are fantastic while fraught with a million pitfalls may seem too much for a 9yo to handle, but yo
