I’m on the firmware portion of that project right now, which is less fun, but yes.

It’s not like we gate keep people making impressionist art or any other style by making sure their personal politics align with Claude Monet.

What are we even talking about here.

If you dislike the idea of AI art generally I’m more receptive to that argument. But just this one style not ok? Gtfo

There is so much interesting tech lore that I will never use, but love reading about.

What do you think is the best technical primer on AT proto?

It’s still just black magic to me and everything I read is super vague.

I feel like the play is to create a “studio” and you have a domain and email for that studio. That would encompass all your side projects. So it’s not a personal email, but you don’t need new ones all the time.

I would do like 2.99 per pet. And then some people could buy multiple. Super fun idea by the way.

Bumping this because I’m also curious. I need to replace some charts using a deprecated library at work.

Chart.js looks well maintained.

I personally like making custom charts for the flexibility but that is a niche skill that my coworkers might not be able to maintain.

There is definitely a space for these little micro tools.

I hit up css grid builders, gradient builders, regex builders etc pretty frequently.
