The idea of Neuz is simple: ask Claude to interview you about your interests to get a prompt that you run as a scheduled routine to generate a custom news feed. Then Claude pushes the JSON to the Neuz dashboard, which you can host privately on a VPS, homelab, your laptop, or RPi. Make it available only locally, on your network, or share it on the Internet.
The interview part is organized via the AskUserQuestion Claude tool; the resulting prompt can be fine-tuned and extended manually as you go. You can use a local or cloud Claude routine, or even with an open-weight model if it supports web search and scheduled tasks.
I completely get the point, and it's a shame. Apple is bad because it doesn't clearly announce this kind of limitation for third-party hardware and software before selling their phones. And I don't think Pebble or Garmin will either. Why not just limit your market to a platform that fits well? That would be the fairest solution for a customer.
Thank you for sharing the book, Brett! I definitely need to revisit the SDK which I had from its early versions, but unfortunately it was always lacking something. That was years ago tho.

I was never saying making anything with any technology is easy.
Developing with plain Rails and a minimum of gems is linearly difficult while developing with a set of DSL/generators like Avo can lead to a complexity spike from 1 to 11 in no time. And the worst thing — at a random stage of development.
From the business perspective of view, I really like it: it's a perfect example of a micro-project and I wish you the most of luck.

So much this.
I really can't understand all the excitement above, unless you're starting a new proof of concept daily (but then, the price looks ridiculous) and you're ready for the "buy now - pay later" way of development. If "move fast break things" is still the thing in 2022, then it makes more sense to just draft an MVP in html/js with something like Firestore as a backend?
Basically, what you are reading here is the marketing bs. Shopify would better invest in MRI silently. TruffleRuby? Don't be shy; just call it ShopifyRuby — the board sure like it.
