What right exactly? I don't think there's a human right for access to all IP addresses.

Maybe you should create an app that people want.

From Google it looks like PairCare is to do with period tracking. There are already a plethora of apps that do this, a large number of which are free. I'm almost certain it is also a part of the Apple Health stack.

You're an unknown entering into a very large market with a vibe coded SaaS - This isn't going to work.

It's 2026, instead of code it should be common prompts people use for their agents.

Just for stock market. It can't free type offers but has a few different limits (MINI = 1000, MED = 2500, MAX = 7000). Just for day trading with speculation. Up around 21% but also fully prepared to check it and be sitting at $0 due to my vibe coding.

Not a problem for me (Unlimited data plan, 1000/40).

The website is around PC Gaming - users with the top of the line machines and fast internet. I don't see a problem with websites catering to their audience?

Why should I get a worse lower quality website full of text and nothing visual because somebody else has limited data?

OpenAI continue to send mixed messaging.

"Our AI can do anything a human can do, better, faster, cheaper" -> Buys a product instead of asking their AI to just make it.

Really doesn't give me confidence in your product!!!!

We're in the process of migrating our entire code base over to this new language (One of the big 4 banks) - Keen to add early adopters to our resumes : - )

New comment by dankwizard in "Claude is an Electron App because we've lost native"

dankwizard — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 22:22:31 +0000

With today's processors and speeds, there really is no difference in performance of these Electron apps vs Native and anyone disagreeing just dislikes the JS ecosystem

I went the opposite and deleted Claude and replaced it with OpenAI - The money the US Military will bring in is going to elevate ChatGPT to levels the others cannot match

I would leave something about the article but I can't get over the horrendous layout of this website. Why is the article using only 20-30% of the horizontal space?

Why is the left pane similar posts wrapping after 2 or 3 words?

Shocking. I'd pay $1.00 to load this article and have it look decent.

Just do what we all do to dodge this, have the Account management and purchasing abilities sit inside an embedded browser window that opens up from a button push in the app. Yes it adds a little barrier but with Apple Pay it is a very small barrier and the juice is worth the squeeze.

Not sure why poeple don't just put the phone down? We really are the most sheltered gentle generation. Oh no, this app is taking up my time, we need to BAN IT.

I get your sentiment but a lot of people on this forum forget that a lot of us are just working for the paycheck - I don't owe my company anything.

Do I know the code base like the back of my hand? Nope. Can I confidently talk to how certain functions work? Not a chance.

Can I deploy what the business wants? Yep. Can I throw error logs into LLMs and work out the cause of issues? Mostly.

I get some of you may want to go above and beyond for your company and truly create something beautiful but then guess what - That codebase is theirs. They aren't your family. Get paid and move on

Me, my team, and colleagues also in software dev are all vibe coding. It's so much faster.

New comment by dankwizard in "Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?"

dankwizard — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 04:50:09 +0000

Depends on your definition of works. I've shipped several subscription apps to iPhones/Androids that between them have thousands of users. Is the code good? Probably not. Are there glitches? You bet. But getting them onto the app store took less than a day's work and good money is coming in.

I was sick of my AI hallucinating, so I added in the system prompts "Do not hallucinate". Just a quick glimpse into my prompt engineering mind
