I run the Bear Blog platform. The discover feed on Bear has become a social hub and community space for many. There’s something quite charming about slower interconnectivity via RSS, email, and replying via posts.

It’s well worth checking out: https://bearblog.dev/discover/

I just did this recently! Here’s what worked for me and had me modelling fairly complex parts in a few hours:

- Watch a few tutorial videos on your tool of choice (I was using OnShape) to get an understanding of what is possible - Set up a Grok project with the prompt being something along the lines of “You are mentoring me in using OnShape. Respond briefly and concisely.”

I have the two windows side by side and whenever I don’t know how to do something I ask Grok and it points me in the right direction.

I literally just published a post on this and how it affects Bear Blog.

Neat project! I’ve seen a few analytics tools starting to use SQLite over Clickhouse. It’s great for small to medium sized projects, and can potentially scale (but I haven’t tested it over 200k hits per month).

I rolled out a similar project a few months ago using Django + SQLite.
