@RaphaMassagardi Yeah, spending some tokens now 🤭

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

Back to building in public.

Yesterday was a "day off". Apartment needed attention after some urgent fixing and cleaning.

+2 followers though and extra tokens to use after yesterday.

@leo_mercerr $3K/month building my own business.

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

@leo_mercerr X. Not a huge fan of Reddit.

@ZazaGDev Hi 👋 great progress. Wish I was even close to this number of followers. 😅

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

Time for a new demo to display the new feature of log following. This one is targeted at sysadmins.

@escship Hi 👋🏽

Wish I were even close to 600 followers. Only at 88. Well done on your progress.

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

@mmorgan695 Hi 👋🏽

I'm at 88. 12 short of the coveted 100. 😅

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

@DanielSmidstrup Very cool. Congrats.

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

@aksenHQ In honestly, I'm trying to find out myself 😅
Since I'm a techy, I obviously gravitate towards tech debt or more features. So far I dedicate a few hours every few days or so to distribution. Hopefully learning more about it as I go ....

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

Another Tuesday building in public.

+3 followers since yesterday.
New design for Crane's website (https://t.co/Dl7R1OcZmg).
Dividing time between attending to tech debt and distribution.

@idyeahstudio It's not possible to type anything (at least currently...). In order to try Crane you need to download the beta since it's a desktop app. ☺️

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

Thinking of new design ideas for Crane's website.
So since it's a text editor, I thought making the site like a text editor.

What do you think?

@arman_fusion I think I'll keep it fairly simple for now. I'm not entirely sure about the layout and how everything looks but it's definitely more original than the generic AI look 😅

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

I was asked how my text editor differs from 'less'. Apart from the fact that 'less' is only a viewer, it's definitely a good question so I've made a comparison video.

optimizations (which require instrumentation and real measurements).

What do you think? Hope to get some of your opinions and takes on this topic.

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

New week building in public.

+4 followers. 😊

#buildinpublic #texteditor

This one will be a rant. (probably several consecutive posts, since I'm on the free plan).

So.. I decided to try a post on Reddit in spite of previous not-so-great experiences there. Happy to say that

[The Hangry Developer @hangrydeveloper]

make the whole thing low effort low, or slop or garbage. I've used AI to build on top code I'd written (sometimes many times through my career). Much of the architecture and decisions are made by me, not to mention testing and
