This is a fun article and approach. Subscription apps often have to target a wide userbase. However, most users only need a small subset of the entire feature set, and would be better served by a tailored version. This means that vibecoded

Nicely done! This is an excellent experience, both visually and gameplay wise. The only thing that felt a bit weird was being able to change the word to the same word, if the slid word had the same letter twice.

Does anyone have any use-cases for long-running, interesting tasks that do not require perfect accuracy? Seems like this would be the sweet spot for running local models on low-powered hardware.

Fun! Well done. I created a loop in the drum mode, and then wanted to add a melodic track to it, so I clicked the melodic button. This erased my drum pattern instead - would be good if they could play over each other, and would not be erase

Thank you! :) If you click the three dots on the left top side of the letters area, you can shift all tiles in a direction.

Ideally. Companies may also be hesitant to invest in expanding production capacity if they assume this is a bubble though.

Another thing to try could be to rank people in realtime instead of the one-off submission approach. I do this in https://spaceword.org (create tight crosswords using 21 letters), and I think it's quite motivating to see ho

https://spaceword.org - a daily word game inspired by banana grams, where you need to arrange 21 letters in a tight square. Has around 400 daily active players. I'm pretty familiar with the underlying stack, which helped a

I think about 4x for greenfield development. For example, I implemented this motion controlled game from scratch in 5 days: https://motionparty.net For this kind of no expectations, for fun development I find AI makes it much ea

A couple of daily word games. https://squareword.org is the biggest one.

I can mirror everyone singing praise to pocketbase here. Once you grasp the concepts (which map pretty closely to SQL concepts, with rules for row-based security), it is by far the easiest way IMO to create a maintainable, robust backend wi

Interesting that the Matrix picked the 90s as it's world to lock humanity into as well... Prescient?

Been continuing to work on my daily puzzle game: https://videopuzzle.org Yesterday was the one year anniversary, meaning there are 365 videos to unscramble. :)

The key to technology like this is how quickly it can get to say 99.5%. Not convinced it will be an easy path!

Hey! I would encourage you to try our Claude code instead, which is also part of your subscription. It's a CLI that takes care of many of the issues you encountered, as it works directly on the code files in a directory. No more copy p

True... It would be very interesting to make a comparison of various open models based on token generation speed on these platforms. Presumably starting st some size the larger accessible RAM wins out over raw speed but low VRAM? Although I

In case anyone is looking for alternatives, my 2-dimensional daily word game (5x5 letters, five words down, five across) is free: https://squareword.org . Not exactly the same as you reveal words with wordle style guesses instea

Also very confused at this... It told me "I'm unable to create images of specific individuals in different settings." I wish it would at least say somewhere which model we are using at the moment.

I find that when I start reading a book that I enjoy, it is easily the most gripping form of entertainment, and I can barely put the book down. But, it also takes more effort to get started, so I rarely get into that zone and end up scrolli

Fun analysis! I run https://squareword.org , which has 5x5 letters featuring words both down and across. Guesses are applied to the horizontal words, but the vertical words can be used as support, a bit like in Sudoku. I wonder h

This is hilarious in hindsight... I wonder what kind of beliefs we hold that will seem equally funny to the people in 200 years. ;)

Hi! I just launched Explainle ( https://explainle.org ), my latest word game. Every day, you have to explain 5 words without using forbidden words. An LLM tries to guess which word you are referring to. The fewer attempts you need

I have a kindle 4 from 2011, still runs like a champ and holds multiple weeks of charge. I have had zero issues. I wish all gadgets were like this.

Glad you like it! :) And thank you for your comments, super interesting! Excellent point about the rarity of the perfect arrangement. Perhaps I should throw in a few lettersets that do have a solution, I am intrigued to see if people would

Fair enough! :) I'll look into adding a practice mode.

There is a weekly mode with 63 letters, thinking of adding a monthly mode as well. Or would you prefer puzzles that are always open?

Interesting - a lot of problems I face seem to fit into this general framework, and I feel like I keep reinventing the wheel. How is conlict resolution handled?
