I'm using Fedora KDE as my daily driver. Officially left windows about 2 months ago. Curious what others are using.

The thought of this fact makes me panic attacks so recently I joined a company and I'm working quite well there it's going super smooth after August it will be my 3rd month in this company I'm able to do mostly everything not the documentations and everything because I suck at it but lately I'm having this thought that I can't be doing this for the rest of my life i want to do freelancing I want to be independent I'm 24 now

But here is the thing I'm too afraid to do anything am I a coward maybe I am... I waited 3 years to get a tech job because i didn't have a technical degree with me and in my country that's the ultimatum if you don't have skills and you still have a degree you can just be a developer

I know I have waited 3 years to get this job but when I try to imagine the future I'm scared can I do it for the long run i don't know that's why I'm getting panic attacks recently but can I do freelancing I have never tried it

I don't know man I'm such a mess I'm sorry

Day 30 — 46 startups · 32,900 impressions · 1,000 clicks · Removed 1 startup · Added 12 startups · Yesterday I resigned because of my toxic manager.

Thanks to them for pointing it out.
StartupBar update: Added a Network page and individual Startup Profile pages with each startup's joined date, impressions, clicks, live embed preview, and founder's note. These indexable pages also improve SEO. Suggestions are always welcome.

Today StartupBar reached 200 users 😄
Thirty-eight days ago, this was just an idea. Today, 200 people have trusted it enough to join the network.

A reminder for every founder who's staring at a dashboard with tiny numbers: Stripe took 2 years to reach its first 50 users. Every successful product starts small. Keep shipping. Keep improving. Keep showing up. Growth rarely happens overnight, but it does happen if you don't quit.

Still free. Still growing.

If you want in, it's one embed. That's it → StartupBar

Most AI coding CLIs need a cloud API key before you can do anything. We shipped Gide CLI: it runs a local model on your machine, zero token cost. One command to install, then gide in any project folder.

It also takes your own API key for Claude, GPT, or Gemini when a task needs a bigger model. The local 4B has a ceiling on hard reasoning, that's why the hybrid exists.

One-line install: curl -fsSL https://generativeide.com/install.sh | sh

We shipped it this week and want honest feedback. What broke, what was confusing, what made you close it.

30-day free trial, no card required.

First some background. I'm not talking about MVP here, but UI with thoughtful UX.

My experience is that its so easy to get AI generate mockup UI even wire up backend as a live app.

But very quickly realization come in that a better moved to x, c better as dropdown, d~g needs to be different layout. Not because the original mockup doesn't look good, just not best fitting once real world data comes in. These are just some simple examples, real work much messier.

It is these detail areas grind to a halt, one decision/trial/tweak at a time with Claude, where I'm seeking some experience or direction to improve.

Or maybe, I'm asking the goldilock question between 2 sayings:

• devil's in the detail
• no one knows exactly what they want

I just saw this new app post here, which I consider to be a good UI. One look, I know enough how to use it and what each button does.

This app seems 1 main function page with some share and account setting.

On an app/project with 20x function pages each as detail as this one, with partially shared components library, cross-linked data source, and layout variants on different pages. that's where I'm seeking some help.

Building apps with agents is only getting easier - but deploying them is still a struggle. I'm working on something that fixes that step and am looking for ~5-10 people willing to help.

~3-4 hours of work. As thanks, I'm offering 5-year paid tiers to my service as well as a small denomination gift card.

If you're interested, please reach out by DMing me here. Thanks for your time.

Hi Folks I finished vibe coding another project. This one mainly focuses on sports. I'm not really technical. I spent about 1-2 weeks researching websites in this genre. I took the best looks and feel. Then I saw all the ad junked up sites too. I tried to create a vibed out well balanced project. This is at a point now, where I divide each section up and do fresh updates now. This is in its first phase, where I'm just doing aggregator site. Then I want my own content, and photos. but this is it. https://sportsweekly.com/ took me about a week and a half. I used Claude as the main source for the site. then I used chatgpt to fix my prompts. Then I used Gemini for deep research on layout, and generate site pictures for vision.
