Yes, I had to start using more fable to not waste all that usage by Sunday and figured I broke it myself.

Even if data centers are the bottleneck, aren't they scarce for everyone in your scenario?

How do the OpenAI models/reasoning effort map to Fast, Standard, Heavy in the add-in?

Seemed a bit off, but I’m no designer. Thanks for the tip.

Definitely not. If you see a mistake please submit feedback. It’s free, let’s keep the quality bar a bit lower

AI tools have made it so cheap to build useful software that there’s no reason to gate it behind sign-ups or paywalls. CalcForAnything (https://calcforanything.com) is 157 free calculators — solar, finance, health, math, home, medical. No accounts, no fees.

Show HN: Vibe-coded game prototypes. Tell me which to work on

chux52 — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 01:04:04 +0000

Building for fun and have 5 game prototypes.

All 5 are unfinished, rough, and 100% vibe-coded. Looking for feedback on if any are worth building further.

If you are tired of submissions like this, just tell me to keep working on digtocore, which is too complicated and buggy.

How does the git part work if you are always fighting github authentication. It's git only, not github?

I hit show my recommendations and it didn't return anything. Not sure if you need to be signed up for that to work or not.

Would definitely try this out, but am Windows only.

Tried to create something like this but the best I got was a bookmarklet to copy the chat text. Ended up just exporting data and using that method for a one time pull.

This looks useful. When I click the voices, am I supposed to hear samples of the voice?

I got an error trying one of the article on the main page: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-new-constitution

This is a great idea. Any plans to take it further than what your page demos?

Show HN: I built an AI coach for introverted leaders

chux52 — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 20:25:56 +0000

I spent 15 years in FP&A and corporate budgeting. For the first 10, I actively avoided management because the path to leadership seemed designed for extroverts. Be more visible. Speak up in meetings. Network at happy hours.

I eventually got promoted anyway, mostly by taking ownership of problems I cared about fixing more than I cared about avoiding meetings. Turns out if you run the meeting, you can keep it organized.

Recently I taught myself to code using AI tools (Cursor + Claude, mostly) and wanted to build something that would have helped my past self. The result is leadquiet.com an AI coaching tool specifically for introverts in leadership roles.

It's text-based (no video calls), focused on energy management and leveraging introvert strengths rather than "overcoming" them, and priced for individuals ($15/mo).

I'm not from tech. I still work full-time in finance. Built this nights and weekends. Would love feedback if you try it.

This was pretty fun. I played the quick game and it was just me? Maybe you need some bots if it is supposed to be multiplayer.

One thing was that being so close to the edge means hard to shoot things that are headed for you.

Love incremental games. LLMs are going to be great to see more of them (whether you used one or not).

I thought this was really well done, but I was a bit thrown to be blocked after 8 turns with the come back tomorrow thing.

Looks promising. Part of something else or just something you wanted to build/share?
