Oooh yes just one long connected sandwich would be amazing. You could do that with outpainting in theory but there would be some load time. Maybe for v2 lol.

I wasn't expecting this level of critique, but dammit you're right. I removed the puppy one. I'm keeping Biden though: tallsandwiches.com/biden

People keep mentioning that one.. he's just nestled snugly back in the toppings! I'll probably remove it.

Weekend project made entirely with AI. Used cursor.so to write all the code on top of a fresh Next.js project. ChatGPT for the about page copy. Generated the images with Lexica.art. I hope you enjoy these tall sandwiches.

The value is the network and it's hard to get a person's entire network to move over at once. You're right that most people don't care about "decentralization", but they really care about not losing access to their account, avoiding hate/bullying, and many other things. A Mastodon type decentralized platform where you join the server that best aligns best with your interests/needs is one way to solve this. More friction though, so not sure on what will win out.

Brilliant! I spent so long looking for a screen recording app that could simply follow the mouse and zoom automatically. Thought of building this myself. Good job executing on it so well. Will probably be a customer soon :)

I built something that I wanted and knew I would have paid for: https://divjoy.com ($5-10k/month)

If I was looking for a side hustle now I'd 100% be playing with GPT-3/ChatGPT and building small tools. There's a good chance your first few experiments won't catch on, but that you'll end up being in the right place at the right time, see an opportunity, and already have the code/knowledge to get an MVP out quickly.

A few years ago I was frustrated with how difficult it was to setup a solid React.js stack with auth, payments, etc so I built a codebase generator at https://divjoy.com

It does around $5-10k a month. Fairly passive. A few hours of support a week. Was full-time on it for the first few years, but decided to join a company recently and keep growing this on the side.

Using the phone analogy, Siri is a string with two cups on either end.

Show HN: Chrome extension that adds ChatGPT to every website

makeee — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:04:30 +0000

Hey HN, this weekend I made an extension that adds ChatGPT functionality to every website. Right click in any text area, click "Ask ChatGPT", and it responds in the same text area. I've been using it to write tweets and revise copy in notion docs. The crazy part was that ChatGPT taught me how to make Chrome extensions and wrote ~60% of the code.

It's fully-open source. Link and demo in my comment below.

How is this censorship? They are a company and can do business with whoever they please. They are drawing the line at imminent threats to human life. The site has already led to the deaths of multiple people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms#Suicides_of_harassm...

Doesn't imply any task, just a wide variety of tasks. 10 years at most.

Yeah honestly I'd work on the distribution channel first. My twitter following and https://usehooks.com (which I sold awhile back) was instrumental in the beginning.

I run https://divjoy.com, a react codebase generator. Essentially a boilerplate you can customize before exporting your code. It's been a nice business for me over the past few years. As always, the challenge is marketing and differentiating yourself from the numerous free options. Good luck!

makeee — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 15:28:21 +0000

I made http://divjoy.com, which lets you assemble blocks into a multi-page web app and then export as a React/Node codebase. Works best if you want the backend in Node, but you can swap out for your own API.

New comment by makeee in "Ask HN: Where and how do you find your early adoptors?"

makeee — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 06:15:10 +0000

Found early adopters for https://divjoy.com by tweeting out some screenshots of the private beta to my ~1k or so followers at the time and asking if anyone wanted early access. Also started writing some short blog posts about React.js (related to my product) and tweeted those out as well + cross-promoted from the blog to my product.

You're going to need to get 1000+ people to hit your site to get 100 beta users so just try to get some exposure in any relevant community you can. Asking for advice is a great way to share your product without coming off as too spammy, so I'd update your post with a link to your product ASAP!

Would you consider an artist who sells a series of limited edition prints to be morally bankrupt? How is doing this via the blockchain any different (besides catering to a customer base who prefers a digital format)?

Charge more! My product[1] was originally free, then $49, then after a year I started to bump up the price more aggressively. It's now $249 and I probably should have started with that. Devs either aren't willing to pay for boilerplate code (happy with open-source options) or $249 is nothing to them if it saves a week of dev time. Last year I hit my goal of $100k in revenue :)
