Blur-Daddy now blurs faces in videos 👻

No tracking yet, so detection runs every frame. You can see blurred faces in distance flickering as a result and memory usage is quite high still. Still, milestone 2 complete!

Interviewer: “How’s Blur Daddy coming along?”

Me: “Now he doesn’t just blur faces, he caresses the pixels with soft, gentle transitions.”

Interviewer: “Promoted on the spot.”

-----------------------

Update: Blur looks much nicer now

Introducing Blur Daddy: https://t.co/agh50EkXiy

[Ash @AshBuildsHere]

Interviewer: “What did you build?”

Me: “Blur Daddy. Because sometimes you just need someone to take control… of your pixels.”

Interviewer: “You’re hired”

Cursor already enables thousands of these micro-improvements to a dev's life. Yes you can hover on Partial and Omit to get what they are, but Cursor goes beyond simple definitions. Perfect for picking up new things. This one's simple though. #buildinpublic

I detest doing the same thing twice. Replaying 30 minutes of a game cuz I forgot to save felt agonizing as a kid. I avoid that in coding by committing frequently. Did a single thing? Commit. That’s it.

Gotta switch to https://t.co/YVB5WPZiIX and python then! Why not?

I wanted to build ChecklistBanner™️ in a couple of hours.

Simple stack:
1. Google sheets: keep ur checklist
2. Cloudflare workers: merge text on image
3. Github repo: share code to customize

Cloudflare workers was NOT the best choice since it doesn't have full node compatibility.

DON’T CHECK MY PROFILE HEADER.

seriously, don’t. it’s empty. no header. no creativity.
why? cuz I have NO IDEA what to put there...

but definitely don’t create a tool where I can click a button to update it with a checklist. that would be overkill.

Folks, top or bottom? I have two sets of images I used in these waitlist versions for https://t.co/d9utDzUhGc, but not sure which looks better! #buildinpublic

I often think of this or similar numbers. Can you solve a problem for 4k people?

[vidy @vidythatte]

reminder: you need about ~4k people paying $20/mo to hit 1mm ARR

@RonnyBruknapp Hope I get enough interest to launch soon! Of course, let me know if you have any feedback on this!

[Ash @AshBuildsHere]

What do you think? First version of GameSwapp waitlist is almost ready.

@samm_duc thanks! trying out a few tools now:
ilus .ai
Midjourney
Dall-e through ChatGPT
Ideogram .ai

Might be a skill issue lol

AI images look pretty good until you want to use them professionally and take a closer look! They mostly suck and are unusable.

Any suggestions for creating high quality website assets? Looking for a good 2d flat illustration AI text to image.

@samm_duc thanks! botcellar will be the easiest way to build [Telegram] bots! No code, swappable AI back-ends.

gameswapp will solve a problem for board-gamers. everyone has games they're not playing anymore and a wishlist. I'll match them to swap and give life to unused games!

[Ash @AshBuildsHere]

Bought two new domains today! gamesw[.app] and botcellar[.com]

Shit gets real the moment you buy the domains. Time to build some waitlists...

7-Day #AirHop Mini-Game Challenge: Complete 🛫🛬🎯

Play here: https://t.co/lyqP5If34L

Leaderboard integration took too long and optimization had to be skipped but who cares?!

Main goal was to ship something in a week and learn about Telegram bots and mini-games in the process ✅
