If they say it costs $50 per month, why do you need to make additional payments?

$50 per month is their SaaS solution that let's you make 1000 requests per day. The openrouter cost is the raw API cost if you try to use qwen3-coder via the pay as you go model when using Cline

https://inspo.dev - The idea is a chrome extension that let's you iterate ridiculously fast on frontend web components - click one button, select the element like you're using Chrome's inspect dev tools, press generate, and 60 seconds later, AI has given you ~7-10 new variations on how you could style that component, with the code ready to implement.

Struggling to get the generated iterations to be up to a standard I'm happy with at the moment, but improving every day!

I looked at your video of alternatives and number 5 looked pretty good to me. Though, a better image of the product itself seems like the lowest hanging fruit for improving the landing. :)

For stuff like this, it would be cool if you had a hosted demo of what you clicked through in the video.

A share button is a great idea, thanks!

Hey Charles, annoyed I missed out on the first batch, signed up to the newsletter looking forward to the next one!

I thought your product page could use a slightly nicer UI. - I'm building an app that let's people spin up multiple variations of their pages and easily implement new UIs. - I like to put HN websites through it whilst I'm training it up to see if I can improve them.

here's what my app came up with for your site: https://streamable.com/vbby9q

If you want the html + css, it's here free of charge, I've split each one up with a ## Variation 1/2.. etc.. just let me know what you think - https://pastebin.com/WGNieVmq

As someone who is an artist and also a programmer I find the differences between both very different. I never see programmers crying over A.I. chiming “they stole our code so it’s evil and I’ll never use it and neither should you!” Like the artist seem to do.

I don’t really care if the image gen models are trained on my renders or photos as long as they are open source.

Also I have been making the assets for my game which needs at least 2,000 sprites and honestly it’s very tedious and I’m looking to automate as much of the pipeline as I can so I welcome anything that removes the the tedium and pain from the process.

I think there's a big difference with how designers and programmers can use AI to enhance their work, and how exploited the average person's work has been. A lot of designers publish their work on social media, or it's visible on their websites etc., which AI models have used to train with. But with coding, most people's code only exists in private repos, or is compiled to a format that LLMs cant easily be trained on.

Bitcoin is legal currency for taxes in El Salvador. And someone there will always be someone in el salvador needing to pay taxes.

davidweatherall · 3 years ago

Yes, but Warren Buffer doesn't live in El Salvador, so the only thing he could do with BTC is sell it to someone for USD so the point still stands

davidweatherall commented on Ask HN: Solo Dev Stack of 2022? · Posted by u/jstummbillig

davidweatherall · 3 years ago

My stack relies on Typescript Express apps on Google App Engine. One for the API, and one for the front end.

For database I use Datastore and for storage I use Cloud Storage.

Front end uses an express app that routes the marketing pages to static html pages and then routes everything starting /app to a generic html file that uses React to render everything / sort out routing.

It's quite interesting that a successful HN launch effectively created ~$10m worth of value, as tooljet was able to raise $1.5m+ within a couple of weeks whereas fund raising efforts before were rejected.

jonny_eh · 3 years ago

I'm kinda surprised that a 13 employee layoff at a 90 employee company is newsworthy enough for the NYTimes.

davidweatherall · 3 years ago

> 13 employee layoff at a 90 employee

Let's rephrase that to 14% to sound more impactful
