This looks like a static website that could be served for free from Cloudflare Pages or Vercel, with a nearly unlimited quota. And still... It's been hugged to death, which is ironic, considering it's a software engineering website :).
I think:
1) Like you said, people are buying hope.
2) People cannot fathom this degree of improbability. So, the fact that it's at least possible overrides the near-impossibility of it.
3) There is some aspect of entertainment and social-interaction to it. It's a bit like watching sports. Who you're cheering for is irrelevant, and whoever wins doesn't change your life in any way, but still, we watch it.
For now it only supports insights with Anthropic Claude 3.7 and there are some must have features that are missing, but I've got a prototype in a weekend and I'm proud of it :)
Im an experienced software engineer in the late stage of building an AI-based language learning app for English learners and I’d really be up to partner up with someone that understands about the language learning business.
I am positively surprised to see this as the top comment. For subjective topics, people have a bias to believe in what they would like to be reality, discarding all negative evidence.
I am all for the freedom of WFH, I see many positive aspects to it, if given the choice I will pick “flexible”, but it’s crystal clear to me that, when people are not working in particularly exciting projects, productivity will take a hit. Creative brainstorm is worse remotely and it’s easier for people to isolate themselves socially.
I stopped using DO App Services for Node when their Node version fell far behind LTS to the point that my dependencies stopped working. I migrated to Heroku.
As a React developer, I tried, as much as I could, to like React Native, but in the end, every minute i spent with it was a waste of time. Every single day, something would go wrong and drive my attention away from my app. One day, I would do something that looks good in a platform but bad in another. Another day, Expo builds would fail for some bizarre reason. But like someone else mentioned, the package hell is real. You update one package and another package will fail in the most cryptic way possible. Stay away from React Native. This project is a mistake.
In the other hand, I had one of the best experiences in my life with Flutter. Everything is extremely well designed. 100% of the problems I had with Flutter dev, weren’t in Flutter itself. For example, sometimes I needed some magic out-of-flutter configuration to make Firebase authentication to work on iOS. Sometimes Java runtime problems would prevent the Android emulator to run. But with flutter itself, I had the best experience. It’s a god sent.
I'm a bit confused. Following the React tutorials https://markdoc.io/docs/render#react I was able to render my own react components on custom tags, which I wanted. Nice! But I'm not being able to define how to render my own components for Markdown tags like paragraph or heading :(
OMG. I was just about to start my own Markdown parser because I needed custom elements and I was finding too hard to work with existing "customizable" Markdown parsers.
Also, I needed a React renderer for React-Native and I was also about to write my own.
By the looks of it, I will be able to just use Markdoc.
Hey. I've been working on this project for almost 600 hours now. I've posted about this before but there were some blocking bugs. I'm posting it again now as I've reached the first stable release. 1 minute demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKfc_RTBU6A. We're on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/aboutdevs. Feedback is really welcome!
