But that doesn't always pay the bill, as OP mentioned, he has "adult responsibilities".

That’s fair, but the likelihood you’ll have a better time monetizing something you love is much higher, both in willingness and ability imo.

This thing is super cool! One other use case I can think of, is to use it to check reliability of the fonts that I chose in my designs, only if the option to choose a custom font was given.

Will definitely work on that feature. Thanks for checking it out

this game is a rage bait! Try solving on a mobile device. I don't think an elderly person would ever be able to get through this!

Even when I successfully draw a path from green to red, not touching anything it says "Sorry that's not quite right"

Was impossible for me to solve, too, on mobile.

Same. I think an AI would have an easier time than me.

I managed once to complete the maze, but then it went into "checking" and a spinner forever.

New "impossible game" just dropped

Is it a one shot AI generated site?

Far from it haha

Some features took a longggg time to do, such as table extraction, text editing, and (surprisingly) preserving positioning of elements (text, images etc.) when rotating the page in the downloaded file - PDF specification has a different orientation system than the web, so this was very intricate to get correct.

A lot of PDF editors have tools that all work independently, meaning you have to use each tool separately. My decision to add all the features I did while keeping it in one editor was because I felt that was a better user experience, but I means that all features become intertwined, which added a ton of complexity managing that.


I think so. Just go to the homepage, all of the thumbnails are AI generated with clickbaity titles.


Is this writeup AI generated?


Reminds me of zig's on stack fixedBufferAllocator


Looks cool tho!


Considering the rate of improvement of these LLMs, wait for a month or two and then you may not even need an os, let alone some obsecure piece of software (shell).


Except the models don’t actually compute anything other than text generation. The entire way they interact with computers is through the shell or other api layers on the OS

everytime I see this as the ultimate conclusion for all of these kind of hype posts
