Family, I am badly off. Financially, I haven't been able to see my way since February. All I can do is ask that you send any opportunities for performance my way. I honestly don't want to discuss my full circumstances online... but I do need all the blessings & assistance.

@Baconbrix @maxast Just saw this on YouTube. Looks awesome!! Gonna give it a whirl today. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Introducing Expo Agent Build truly native iOS and Android apps from a prompt. Anything from React to SwiftUI to Jetpack Compose. Compile and deploy for Apple, Android, and the web right from the browser!

hey Twitter 👋, its been a while. I took a break from building apps, I fell in love, moved into a new house, been doing lots of carpentry and drywall lol. Life is awesome. Feeling to code again, I see we are playing with lobsters and claws now?

@burkov Serious question. So right now through OpenClaw/Telegram I can get it to check emails, send emails add tasks to Todoist save links to Instapaper and all sorts of productivity automations between the various apps. What other tool can do this?

I didn't want to comment on OpenClaw. Usually, when there's so much noise in the media, it's some ordinary stuff just hyped well. So I took time to learn how it works thanks to open source. I was right. OpenClaw is 2% of ordinary stuff and 98% of hype. To put it very shortly, in case you were wondering, there are two things in it: 1. You can chat with an LLM via a text messenger. Not anything new. 2. The LLM can use tools that run on your computer. Not anything new either. Most of the "magic" mentioned in the media is about its ability to use the browser. But it's not *its* ability. It's Playwright's ability. Playwright is a library made by Microsoft which allows you to programmatically run a browser. It uses a built-in vision model made by Microsoft that converts the browser's screen into a textual description for LLMs. Again, Microsoft has built Playwright exactly for what OpenClaw is using it. So, OpenClaw's typical workflow: 1. The user types in a text messenger "Buy me a flashlight on Amazon." 2. OpenClaw blindly dispatches this message to an LLM which has access to some tools, including Playwright. 3. The LLM, trained not by OpenClaw folks, decides that Playwright is the right tool (of course it is) and Amazon is the URL to navigate to. 4. Playwright, built not by OpenClaw folks, runs the browser, which navigates to Amazon, and returns the textual description of what Amazon's home page looks like. 5. OpenClaw blindly returns to the LLM this textual description. 6. The LLM (again without any help from OpenClaw) decides that one should type "flashlight" into the search field and press Search, so it calls the Playwright tool with the search parameters. 7. OpenClaw calls Playwright because the LLM told it to and types "flashlight" and then presses Search (it's all part of what Playwright does out of the box). ... In the end of this LLM-controlled scenario, the order is submitted. OpenClaw just listened to what the LLM told it to do via tool calls. I tried hard, and I haven't found anything else worth mentioning in the source code. There's also a part that keeps "memories" about past conversations, but it's all basic stuff. These memories are stored in text files and grep (controlled by LLMs trained to use grep, and trained not by OpenClaw folks) is used to search in them. It's a nice hobby project, just like Cursor or Perplexity are nice hobby projects, but there's nothing there to look for, except for the hype and 2% of unoriginal plumbing code.

My entire cursor bill...

@measure_plan lol, yeah, if you skip to the end and turn on sound you'll hear it pop 🤣

@aaronbesson that’s awesome. Can the balloons pop??

@measure_plan okay how about burpees to save balloons 🎈?

@seraleev they copied the entire onboarding, everything

Creating is hard. Copying is easy But come on - at least change the icon

hey @Nike your website is broken. Cannot scroll

Enjoying running again 🏃🏽‍♂️

@ChardPeters The driver and user apps are done. After getting strung along a few times I gave up on trying to get investors for this and other local services like this.

@aaronbesson I know it’s a concept eh, but please if y’all launching another rideshare service. Put emphasis on rider verification, our safety is as important as theirs. Can’t be getting robbed and being told we have no info of the account holder cause it was a burner number they used 🫣

Might be time to launch trinishuttle.com 🤔

@loftwah yup

If you're the only one working on a project do you just push to main?

Spent a little time working on the onboarding and I was wondering.. how about completing an exercise for a free month subscription @adamlyttleapps? Have you tried gamified onboarding?

@stardappa With construction costs at $1000-1500/sqft these days. It’s the kinda the same unless you really cutting costs.

Whooooo are the persons buying these Townhouses for 1.7m??? What is even the market for homes these days … boy lemme ask my father to build behind the house eh

Took a break to trim some trees that were touching the house and blocking our view

@workslikejenga Wonder if they’ll make it through review. I’ve had apps rejected for no log out or delete account buttons.

I was beta Testing an app There is no logout button. What is this strategy?

@mariosaputra Sleep is a cheat code. Iykyk

What is it with people's obsession over sleep? If you're not working on something that keeps you up until dawn, maybe it's just not interesting enough

I generated all the exercise vids in this app using different models on @replicate and got some mixed results (prob do a thread on this sometime). Getting consistent movements, proper form is very difficult. Used maybe $100 trying to get an AI vid for Bicycle kick crunches 😂 still trying.

I’ve been working on a little gamified fitness app to trick myself into working out more in my spare time (which has been limited recently)
