It’ll take a week max, it’s just 5 tasks 🪦

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

ok got my @stripe checkout and confetti ready🎉

when does black friday start?...oh

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

yay my first @rive_app animation used in an app – the @LetterHQ logo brought to life as a loader ✨

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

Ah can’t believe a week just went, I been doing @LetterHQ mobile,

 iOS gets a bit quirky, I switch to an in-line editor toolbar for when Safari changes the viewport…

🚧✅ apply to send

affordable sending @LetterHQ 😄 #buildinprivate

What do you think of Mascots for apps?

Asking on @IndieHackers 👉 https://t.co/Dd4xbCeRpX

🦦 because @LetterHQ used to be called EmailOtter , I was thinking of bringing an otter back as a lil mascot

Here is another look with a grid layout card (articles from @creativeboom feed 👀)

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

✔️monday... worked on this 'Content Assist' interaction for @LetterHQ - bit more intuitive to import articles:

- select article from feed ☰
- show import btn *within* feed
- show a tooltip to prompt user (if no card selected)

works nicely with the AI too:

✅ refactor side panel

Yet another of the pointless lil things I change that stop me shipping this new @LetterHQ AI version lol

gave @d__raptis @BrandBirdApp a shot for shareable social pic🕺👇

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

AI is writing....

✔ Accept
✨ Try again

Just added that last lil accept/retry menu... next to get this online and send to early user list

probs be a few days, but DM me to try it too

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

🧑🏽‍🔬 Got the prompt box working for user selection

💬 AI now writes in a suggestion box (instead of overwriting selected text)

Next step is to add options to accept or reject the suggestion and then insert the new text...

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

okay, now hooked this up for the newsletter intro, and it is just so much cooler!

With streaming, it even keeps the formatting 😍...sorry I'm an excited nerd!

🎉 Hey everyone! We've seen a surge in purchases for the exciting new AI features being shared here.

These aren't yet availble - we're gonna hook you all up with a coupon for the new AI Letter - it's a totally new app.

Early customers, you're in for a treat! Stay tuned!

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

How cool is this? 🤩 I got AI text streaming working in @LetterHQ, thanks to @steventey's https://t.co/Z1UHcs5Uq1 example!

@vercel's `useCompletion` hook does a lot of heavy lifting for the stream, plus provides a bunch of helper functions 👉 https://t.co/kmasbAkH0B

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

✅ just added animated scrambled text placeholder for when the AI request is sent

I'm using @nextjs, so next I wanna try @vercel `OpenAIStream` to animate the AI text onto the editor!

check out the Vercel AI SDK, they make it so easy: https://t.co/lbf7GyQViD

📝✨ @LetterHQ AI generating a full newsletter intro in a click!

Even tho I've built this, as someone who's crafted hundreds of intros by hand, I feel it lacks soul and human insight

Editing still needs human touch..check it out tho, AI summary of each article in a newsletter👇

[graeme @graeme_fulton]

🚧 now got the AI option in the section menu too..a bit rough but look it's pretty good:
