This is the kind of pettiness I'm here for lol

Me adding random commas, to my sentences

Rumors of the death of SaaS have been greatly exaggerated No, AI isn't going to bring about the apocalypse of SaaS.

People are saying that AI coding is going to kill all SaaS. I don't think so!

GitHub - LBognanni/fasttab: A lightning fast Alt+Tab switcher for X11 A lightning fast Alt+Tab switcher for X11. Contribute to LBognanni/fasttab development by creating an account on GitHub.

I wrote this post partially in reaction to being able to scratch my own itch with FastTab, my very own custom task switcher for X11

Building for an audience of one: starting and finishing side projects with AI My Plasma task switcher was a second too slow, so I built - and shipped - my own in Zig, without actually knowing Zig, using AI tools.

I had some weird 2d canvas issues with #Firefox on #Linux, where Firefox would always render a blank canvas.

#Zen browser worked out of the box, so comparing flags led me to enable `layers.acceleration.force-enabled` and `gfx.webrender.all`.

That fixed it 🎉

It took a reeally long time on and off but here is my _once Windows only_ clock app running on Linux! Partial transparency and everything 🥹

Windows Forms =>
@avaloniaui.net

System.Drawing => SkiaSharp

Still a bunch of things to port over, but getting something on screen feels great!

The only thing I don't like is how opaque the limits are, if one of their hyper productive ai aided teams could vibe up a progress bar with how much usage you have left it would be nice

This was inevitable, at some point even the AI companies must become profitable.
I predict they'll continue to increase their prices, lower their limits, or both.
It will be interesting to see if vibe coding will still be viable then!

windows usually look like this in continental Europe

Wow, I had no idea. A Roslyn analyser sounds like a great idea!

The way tech companies are pushing AI features you'd think they were at least slightly profitable!

finally got a visual novel style dialog thingy working for cutscenes 🍿

I'm using three.js!

Literally the reason I stopped using ChatGPT for Claude. I can expense a year of Claude in advance, but ChatGPT wants me to ask my manager every month 😐

A bit late for #screenshotsaturday, but here's an update on my tower defense prototype :)

#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsunday

How do other indie devs deploy their web apps? I use a single VPS and Docker swarm but would be interested to see what the #indiedev hive mind thinks!
#buildinpublic

this article has some decent suggestions phiresky.github.io/blog/2020/sq...

If you haven't already done so, try enabling WAL mode

now to add the actual towers 😅

I used to dread this type of news, but since I switched to Linux full time I can only thank Microsoft for the free marketing

you can try it out at lbognanni.github.io/clipboard-to...

screenshot of the clipboard to data-url tool. it shows an image being pasted and its string representation in data:image/png format

Every other tool out there wanted a file upload, so I had Cursor build me a simple tool to transform an image from my clipboard into its data:uri version.
It took only one prompt!

The unnamed president lost an arm to the golden panels of the cyberytuck 🫡

I think you're underselling it, relying on people to follow the docs and get auth right was a big ask before the era of vibe coding, but now... I'm kinda terrified!

We just need to write a perfect specification that explains exactly how we want the software to be like! Oh wait...

Live Preview - Visual Studio Marketplace Extension for Visual Studio Code - Hosts a local server in your workspace for you to preview your webpages on.

I use microsoft's live preview, it splits the vscode window and adds a preview tab instead of relying on an external browser

Probably not my wisest decision, but I really enjoyed spending a day writing this animation in pure #css for email-webhook.com
