> There are tools you can buy that let you do this kind of inspection manually, but they are designed for humans.

You should try my SnipCSS Claude Code plugin. It still uses MCP as skill (haven't converted to CLI yet), but it does exactly what you want for reproducing designs in Tailwind/CSS at AI speeds.

I've had that problem with my free Chrome extension: (bring your own fal.ai key)

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-slop-canvas/dogg...

To be honest it doesn't take long to add a new model/params. It's evaluating the models to see if they're even worth including that takes the most time.

No mention of ChatGPT? Anyone else have this problem:

Go to ChatGPT.com while logged in, start typing right away, 8 words into typing it clears the text in the form. Why?

How can you avoid the guy doing PR?

Saw retweets of him saying Codex is way better than Claude Code on X. Then saw those retweets in ads on Reddit. This was 3 days before the announcement he was joining OpenAI. Whole series of events including the podcast tour seems contrived and setup by OpenAI.

Not sure about success - but I vibe-coded a Chrome extension that uses your fal.ai API key to create/edit AI images/videos in a visual workflow:

I think it's decent complexity for something where I didn't even write one line of code. (all Claude Code)

Everything should be Tailwind because all code is written by LLMs these days.

If you need a converter for a normal HTML/CSS component, my free extension SnipCSS is the best Tailwind converter. I haven't seen anything else come close.

It’s additional features that are related.

For example making a computer use agent… Made the plan, implementation was good, now I want to add a new tool for the agent, but I want to discuss best way to implement this tool first.

Clearing context means Claude forgets everything about what was just built.

Asking to discuss this new tool in plan mode makes Claude rewrite entire spec for some reason.

As workaround, I tell Claude “looks good, delete the plan” before doing anything. I liked the old way where once you exit plan mode the plan is done, and next plan mode is new plan with existing context.

At least Google models like Nano Banana Pro release Day 1 on https://fal.ai

I made a free Chrome extension that uses Fal api key if you want a UI instead of code

Will that change also allow paying upfront ($250 or whatever) to bump up a tier?

I want to release a service using computer-use but am worried about 429 quota errors if I have actual users.

My workflow is transformed. If yours isn’t you’re missing out.

Days that I’d normally feel overwhelmed from requests by management are just Claude Code and chill days now.

Sir! Elon has responded to our pressure tactic. Your interview seems to have had an effect. "Well - what did he say?" It's better if you see for yourself.

GIF reply "why are you gae" (this was his actual response btw)

This is great, but I wouldn't consider a food to be "clean" just from this testing.

At a minimum it needs glyphosate testing. I suspect the avocado oil has no plastics but high glyphosate, it's one of the many reasons I only use high-quality olive oil and coconut oil in cooking.

Are you making an API?

I wouldn’t be using it for game dev - I want spritesheets of custom characters for a 2D animation maker agent.

Before everyone caught up:

    We are in a race to make a new God, and the company that wins the race will have omnipotent power beyond our comprehension.

After everyone else caught up:

    The models come and go, some are SOTA in evals and some not.  What matters is our platform and market share.

I recently looked at source for Cline because I’m making my own coding agent and they use tools without using tools.

See how they request the agent to use xml to call tools: https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/sy...

And also: https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/Cline.ts

You didn't list the most important reason:

- Assume LLMs will be more intelligent and cheaper, and the cost of switching to a new LLM model is non-existent. How does improving the custom/heuristic compare in that future?

Same as last year - still making between $500 and $1k on SnipCSS. Didn't work on it for 6 months, but recently added Tailwind conversion:

I'd try it out if you allowed paying $50 for some credits instead of requiring subscription.

Even if that version is limited to only editing public Github repos. $500 to see how well it works is too much.

Yeah that's been around for a while - I used node-canvas to generate frames to render to mp4 for my HTML canvas animation site:

Looks like it would have been a lot easier if this existed back then. (haven't worked on the site for 5+ years)

I am the maker of SnipCSS. https://www.snipcss.com

Just like with other tools such as yt-dlp, the user is required to use it responsibly. As long as you don't copy text/images/svg, the only issue is going to be "trade dress" infringement since CSS styles are not copyrightable. (not a lawyer so this isn't legal advice)

Strange that this post made it to HN because I'm also releasing a Tailwind conversion this week. https://x.com/SnipCSS/status/1853586090164420639 I believe mine will be much better based on the blog post about this tool.
