The fees are not the only barrier.
I agree, the review process can be painful where your app gets rejected for guidelines that aren’t necessary for other platforms like web.

30% fees are mental.
Most of my clients don't even bother/care and their competition doesn't bother/care either.
The fees are 15% as part of the small business program.

Youssef here from Wondercraft! We're sorry for the almost one year hiatus we took from HNR, but we're bringing it back.
It's still the same exact format as previously but the tech we're using has gotten a lot more advanced.
Let us know how you want the format to evolve and we'll work on it!
Thanks for bringing it back! Do you mind sharing what caused the hiatus?

The last web archive if the site went down for you too.

The site is blocked in some countries, could be why it appears down for some.

Author here, was a bit surprised to see this here. I thought there needed to be a good zero-JS LLM site for computer people, and we thought it would be fun to add various other protocols. The short domain hack of "ch.at" was exciting because it felt like the natural domain for such a service.
It has not been expensive to operate so far. If it ever changes we can think about rate limiting it.
We used GPT4o because it seemed like a decent general default model. Considering adding an openrouter interface to a smorgasbord of additional LLMS.
One day, on a plane with WiFi before paying, I noticed that DNS queries were still allowed and thought it would be nice to chat with an LLM over it.
We are not logging anything but OpenAI must be...
Do you mind if I know how much you paid for the domain, brilliant find.
What do you mean? I've been patiently waiting for the death of Xcode for a long time. Do you think it's near?
No idea what the user meant, Xcode is releasing IDE AI this year
I see a picture of what looks like ublock origin, the non lite version. Does that mean Orion will continue to support manifest V2 to allow ublock origin to exist?

It’s impossible for you to have a Google Domains graveyard. As of 10 July 2024, all domains were migrated to squarespace. https://domains.google/
When you have 100+ tables and 100k+ loc you’re incapable of the context needed to write features without bugs which is why we have tests. LLMs are capable of like 5% of the context you are:
Full context > human context capacity > LLM context capacity.
We should all be able to agree on this and it should settle the debates around the efficacy of vibe coding.
We’ve gone from tiny context windows to 1 million tokens in a couple of years. At this rate LLMs will exceed human context and grow to have full context.

The parent commenter had agents with personalities before the release of the agents feature in Claude Code, that's why I was asking.
Prompt it to behave in a certain way?
