@ifarafontov @spoobsV1 In all fairness, not too bad for just one promt. Even has shout, compass and a dragon. Making games with AI is a lot harder than it might seem at first

The app I have been working on for some time is very soon ready for testing! Sign up for free if you want to be among the first to use it.

It's an AI-based journaling app that helps you actually reach your goals, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

[Reflectify @Reflectifyapp]

We're making great progress these days, and aiming to have our app live in the app store by the last week of November. Sign up here if you want to become a tester 😊 https://t.co/CFiGVg6PSg

@iannuttall Using Replit mainly, plus Figma Make for designs. Using Lovable more and more again after recent upgrades, and Devin from time to time. Devin is expensive, but also among the best I have seen.

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@jasonlk @Replit Other things that seem easy, but isn't:
Getting Replit to successfully do minor style/design tweaks by proper cascading instead of resorting to !important statements and following insctructions🥲

I have been baffled by seemingly difficult things being easy, and vice versa.

I've tried all (61 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs

[Emergent, CodeRabbit, Anything, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Figma Make, Cline & more]

The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@johnrushx @Replit I'm mainly using Replit for my complex app. Not a developer, but quite technical and know html+css and understand dynamic programming. Using Devin for complex help, Figma make for design. Any other tools on your azm list you recommend adding to my stack? :)

@foxinsidethebox Bulder privat og Folio bedrift. Har dessverre fortsatt DNB selv, men jobber meg mot å gå til Bulder. Bruker allerede Folio, som er laaangt bedre enn DNB for bedrift.

Litt usikker på hvordan de er på utenlandsbetalinger da, men de tar ihvertfall ikke betalt for å betale dem.

@jasonlk We might also eventually see LLM's built on Mojo, which is a superset of python, supposedly up to 10 000% more efficient than vanilla python. If this happens, the game might change overnight.

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@jasonlk I expect there will be someone capable of maximizing the benefit of cheaper models by utilizing a more clever setup, somehow.

As in, finding a way to split and fork context and using several smaller models in unison. Perhaps.

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@norsats @Wattoshiapp Fett! Rart ingen har innovert noe særlig på strøm på lenge. Gleder meg til å teste 😁

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@MetaGunny @jasonlk A jr dev requires a salary, sleep, breaks, food, vacation and has rights and stuff.
They may actually stop using !important statements when being told, and not add a ton of debugging tools instead of fixing the problem and so on. But there are workarounds for this

[Preben Frenning @Preben_Frenning]

@aivanlogic Looking forward to testing this! But given that context is king in the age of AI, you'll need to provide as much in both to see the impact.
