But yeah, marketing site looks like a marketing site. I'm realizing now that a lot of my app's internal design/flair is missing from the marketing page -- so I appreciate your looking/commenting

When I shared this I wasn't thinking about the marketing site -- I meant to show the product itself. Given the feedback here I no longer think it's a good representative as-is, especially with the generic SVGs / rounded cards

I didn't intend for this to be about the marketing page -- what you say is true of just about every marketing page. They're prevalent because they are good at distilling information without overwhelming the user. But I agree I can do better and will work on this more, I really appreciate getting this feedback

Most people look at pool chemistry/maintenance as painfully overwhelming, so for everyone to say this looks boring or mundane is a bit validating. No one has (yet!) said they don't understand the product, it's purpose, or it's value :)

I built this frontend with Sonnet 4.5 last Fall and I’m about to “launch” it

I used only prompts, but those prompts included ChatGPT’s research on Memphis design ;)

Using codex for front end design is like asking the valedictorian mega nerd to paint your portrait. Gemini and Claude are both artists.

I'm at $6.2k over the last 30 days from my $200 codex subscription

I don’t have any extensions installed and I’m basically leaving it open, idle, as a note scratch space. I do have projects open with many files but not many actual files are open

Anyway idk

I was responding to a comment about the security implications of letting the infotainment system interact with the vehicle controls, and I referenced an incident where someone compromised a car via that.

I have no idea how CarPlay would compromise your phone given apples sandbox but whomever finds it is gonna have a multimillion dollar payday since iOS jailbreaks are quite valuable.

Does that just not matter in modern society? I’m an asshole for expecting the product I pay for on day 1 to be the same on day 8 and 29 of a 30-days subscription?

They announced 2x tokens with months of notice. This announced this with no notice.

Me as an individual making a go solo is not the same as thousands of funded businesses having free credits, subsidized plans and bottomless AI budgets.

For a short period this was a massive equalizer. Now it’s a tool for those who can afford it. That’s a big shift.

Why is it that a person cannot express their own circumstances or opinions on this site without it turning into an argument? It’s so deflating.

Just spitballing.

In that sense your analogy is kinda good. I totally agree the current situation is like getting my solo start up funded and subsidized … but with only like 4 months runway now that the prices are skyrocketing, vs ~2+ for a typical YC venture

I can also imagine that with SF living expenses that there are a lot of people without a big safety net

I don’t really mean for this to be related to any one person. The general population doesn’t have a choice but to sign terms and get the severance , in general, in America

Then I realized I was an idiot and this was magic.

But it now seems more like an introductory offer to use the API, as opposed to an alternative product / way to use their API product.

I thought it would get increasingly expensive, like say the $200 plan becomes $400.

Switching these plans to API metering doesn’t feel like it’s a separate product anymore?

I had my hopes up to switch to local but my first few passes didn’t pan out with that so far. But I’m optimistic it’ll land soon.

I think I need to lower my ambitions too. I got my hopes up since AI can do everything but how long it takes to do it right can really drag on
