I think @tedgioia would like what @stuff_io is doing for books (specifically the https://t.co/mX08aoErKw arm).

Many of the (valid) ebook criticisms addressed in
https://t.co/YRjlrKNGXk, https://t.co/mX08aoErKw solves for, giving digital books their own shot at a glorious future.

Congratulations to the entire @stuff_io team for this massive milestone. Mint + Print brings together the digital and analog worlds and is the most excited I've been since the OG Gute!

[Book.io @book_io]

Going to turn on Mint & Print soon. The first title is Frankenstein... do you have one?

If so, show off your cover!

Barbells take intention—no, they demand it.

That intentionality builds discipline and results that last a lifetime.

@marclou Or:
• 1% diet, exercise, good sleep
• 99% sticking to the 1%!

Something > Nothing 🫡

@p_millerd Ah, she was so close. Yes, it's a waste to be paying for offices that no one goes to. But why is the answer making people go to those offices and not getting rid of (or downsizing) the offices that no one goes to!?!? Why is an empty house no less of a waste?

My first Vibe-Coded/Composed app, Meal Mentor: https://t.co/Lh3rcF6oG3

Add a picture or description of your meal or a recipe and get feedback based on the goals you select (+protein, +fiber, -calories, etc.)!

The deployment was a fight, but I finally got my first vibe-coded app live on the interwebs. The app itself broke when resolving the issues, so still a fight I suppose. But, I'm proud of it.

Thanks for this @rileybrown_ai https://t.co/sz2hdGMXuJ. You're a real one 🤝

@chrissyinspace Big yay. I'm pretty sure that is either a or THE main premise of AppSumo and though it's been a good while, I'd previously snagged some pretty neat tools/apps from there that I otherwise wouldn't have.

[Ev @EvanTCook]

Next Up:

Account creation/login + some type of database integration.

(Significantly) improve the feedback prompt.

Explore other models to see which works best for this application.

Add more goal options.

Design updates, will keep it simple but right now it's a bit boring.

More tech notes:

-Modified one of the path files in the template to create the initial tech specs

-Composer Agent mode in Cursor did all of the work

-Uses Google Gemini API, not sure which model.

-Deployed via Vercel from Github.

Alright, I think I got most of the initial issues resolved.

If this helps anyone:

For long error messages, I added these as text files in Cursor versus pasting in Chat - seemed to handle better.

Not sure the threshold, but new Composer sessions really seem to help.

If you struggle w/ feeling stuck and stagnant, physically or otherwise:

-Pick up a barbell.
-Squat, Bench, Deadlift; 3 sets of 5 reps each
-Repeat in 2 days, up the weight used by 5lbs

In a month, you'll be +50lbs stronger for each.

Stuck and stagnant, you are no more.

@BitValentine @rileybrown_ai Thanks for that @BitValentine 🙂

@thedankoe I agree with you, Dan. It’s the broad sweeping statement of the OP that gets me. That type of distillation via AI has its place, but a world that is solely reading for insights and implementation sounds bleak.
