Building a new open-source project and want to make it inclusive for everyone.

So, what's your go-to method for understanding a new codebase: reading the code itself, or do you rely on the docs? Let me know! 👇 #buildInPublic

@ClashofClans Yo, WTF is going on 😭

Day 4-ish building Vayl https://t.co/evpaOcA7qo🧵
Big update: I have decided to drop the project. Just finished some core functionality but Manifest V3 limitations made one of the core functionality practically impossible which is the web tracker ranking...

everything feels slow when you are so close

Day 3 building tracker blocker

skipped some days busy with work stuff.

my frontend skills = gone 💀 claude saved my UI from looking like 2005 mySpace.

changed the extension name from PrivacyGuard to Vayl (cooler name)

manifest V3 still sucks.

More soon.

🛡️ PrivacyGuard Day 2 #BuildInPublic

Skipped some days (consistency is hard)

Built a converter for EasyList filtering rules → Manifest V3. Way more complex than expected!

Thanks Chrome for making my life hard 😤

Small wins count though

Starting something new just because it sounds cool 🤷‍♂️
Building PrivacyGuard - blocks trackers, ranks websites, and translates privacy policies with AI.
Day 1. Expecting bugs, 3am coding, and lots of "why did I start this?" moments.
But that's the fun part, right?

there is really no benefit in making your code complex, making your code base descriptive and simple to understand is truly a flex

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@skawfade the word AI

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@yu_solopreneur no one cares, except the guy that would eventually maintain the sloppy code base

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

switching from windows to linux feels like leaving a abusive relationship

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@wote_dev bro are you trying to flex your app has 10 users?

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@_devJNS Just as riding in a plane doesn't qualify you to fly one, vibe coding doesn't make you a real programmer.

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

Every time I ask AI a question, I feel like I'm pushing humanity one step closer to AI supremacy.

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

The whole AI domination narrative feels like online chatter rather than something happening in reality.

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

I'm facing a design decision about whether to implement eventual consistency to improve code readability. Should I create objects that strongly mirror database tables for strong consistency, or opt for eventual consistency instead? What are the trade-offs?

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@the_ohmiiee when i realized it is the only way to stay consitent

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@RyanCurcio3 yeah, they just trying to cover their ass

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

Anytime i see someone i followed for a follow back posts a tweet and still hasn't followed back

[emma @_jstaRegularGuy]

@joyful_indie @bartthebuilder_ hey, that might work
