SaaS startup builder. product manager. engineer. SEO grey beard. web scraper. building and buying content sites like they’re real estate.

@DanielMiessler very cool. I built something relatively similar, but focused on being more of a social news site similar to hacker news/reddit, https://t.co/FT35VA9RyZ the actual RSS monitoring engine is open source here: https://t.co/JPye8gwAeS

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@minhash @alfondotnet Looks fantastic. How do docs get added to the registry?

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@Hi_Mrinal I’m just about to launch a site with a hacker news/reddit type social voting interface where the content is entirely from vetted engineering blogs! I’ll share with you when it launches and make sure to include these in it

@gmickel @RepoPrompt Sign me up

@ryancarson @salesforce @outreach_io What is that a screenshot of? A Ralph loop app of some sort?

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@Dimillian What’d ya use to land on that design/theme? It looks fantastic

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@v_computer This looks fantastic

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@korablev Looks killer would love to try it

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@voidmode @helloiamleonie Wouldn’t your clone instructions risk blowing out the user’s existing git repo?

git clone https://t.co/KjxgX0iwVo your-project
cd your-project
rm -rf .git && git init

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@skirano It would be killer to have a way to have claude-engineer simply tail a logfile for a dev server, vs full blown code execution, so that we could point it at any project's log file and have it react to errors that get logged. Like for a Rails app for example

@ReadwiseReader Great will doc thank you

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@ReadwiseReader I’m struggling with keeping my reading progress synced between an iPad and an android tablet, both running the app, both connected to wifi. I’m reading an epub, and whenever I make progress on one device, the other is stuck where I last left off. Help?

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

Well talk about a major whomp whomp to this process:

Even with a pro account, I hit my Claude Sonnet limit in less than an hour. I guess it’s a good way to make sure I don’t spend 10 straight hours on any given thing :)

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

Might try using Cursor IDE today to see if that simplifies things

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

Alright, goals for today:

1) Get the Product Requirements Generator module fully functional (give the app a feature idea, it iterates on the idea with you, then spits out a full requirements doc)

2) Get a simple landing page online to collect email signups for the future app

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

So far this is at least a very rapid iteration workflow. Ideally I’m not manually copying and pasting code around. Also, while the Artifacts are incredible, they don’t play nice with long source code files. Lots of “// existing code here” in the output which is annoying

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

@adrianthedev Would you mind sharing some of the prompts you were trying to use? (Strip out anything sensitive of course). Also was this in a plain markdown repo or part of a rails or code project?

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

Tools that attempt to automate any coding project inherently lack nuance for the specific project type and have to rely only on the LLM to follow conventions. By narrowing to Rails, I can combine business logic guardrails with the LLM to boost code and project quality

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

My goal is to get it stable enough to use it to recreate @dhh ‘s original blog in under 10 minutes video, but faster, without writing any actual code, and it generates clean rails code following conventions.

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

More to come, I’m hoping to have it end to end functional by this weekend. If you’re a Rails dev interested in trying this out at some point, reply or message me and I’ll reach out. I truly think this tool can reduce handwritten code by 90%+, and avoid arcane code magic too :)

[Darrin @iamdchuk]

Also something worth calling out up front: yes I’m aware of all of the code AI projects, both command line feature builders and vscode extensions and cursor, etc. my theory here is an AI coding tool specialized in a specific opinionated framework will be way more effective
