When I'm using genai to write some code for me, I lose the internal mental state of what my code is doing.

As such, when I do have to debug problems myself, or dream up ideas of improvements, I no longer can do this properly due to lack of internal mental state.

Wonder how people who have used genai coding successfully get around this?

Focus on one side project and one side project only - I think the concept of trying to create 12 products in 12 months is probably counterproductive (for me)

the latter is definitely the long term vision. Today we do capture the elements, but do some sort of 'automated' (tree traversal) to produce the video. Would definitely love to give future users even more fine grained control

thanks for raising this, there is currently nothing in the nav bar, but seems that hamburger menu is still there, I'll remove it :)

https://minidemo.app

Been working on a way to turn websites into animated demo videos, with clicks and transitions etc.

Hoping that it'll help with producing landing page videos or marketing videos without needing after effects

I have this exact problem! About a year ago I built https://fetcher.page which fetches updates for me every 10 minutes or so, filters the ones I've already seen, and then notifies me of new updates.

It's not perfect, but at least I thought reopen 5 websites like 50 times a day.

I rebranded it as a social listening platform a couple months ago, but one can still use it for its initial purpose. Let me know if you find this useful, can grant free access.

> Think of it as a plumbing problem. Your primary people flow is between cheap rent and good jobs.

That's an interesting idea. Just thinking out loud, I wonder how one affects the other. I.e cheap rent -> create better transport links -> increased rent -> etc etc.

I know this is true with tube stations raising the cost of certain areas in London.

Makes me all the more in awe of London's bus network despite the occasional tardiness.

I've not played Cities, but interested to know the usual stumbling blocks to build such a system. Too large a city to cover, and too expensive to cover extensively?

Slightly tangential, but here's a viz of how sprawled out London's bus network is https://youtu.be/xAnCD_Czwxw?t=648. Quite amazing how well the bus system works.

Shameless plug: I created a web extension that scrapes from twitter UI directly to a single page. That's one way to get around the api... https://fetcher.page

Extensions were the only way to help me fix my habit of constantly rebrowsing websites. It was chronic at one point.

I've been using auradb, not exactly SQLite-like but good way for me to get started for free.
