[Matt Gale @mdgale]

@jakecastilloooo These stories do not get old! Keep them coming, they make my day to read

@aarondfrancis This is the winning pattern for me too
I’ve been spinning up so many little tools to help make tweaks like this

@DanKulkov it wasn't saas that made the money, it was all the shitposts we made a long the way

Launch!
I've never built an app outside of scripts or little tools that have really scratched an itch I've had. I can do so many design iterations so quickly with claude, I feel like I can be much more expressive and build things that feel fun.

@tobi Whoa whoa whoa
Counting to 29 every 4 years creates a lot of edge cases!

[Matt Gale @mdgale]

I just had to explain to claude (opus) how I'd center a div after several iterations of it failing

I still have a job! I can't really say I want it though.

(I know that's not a derby- I'm just doing design iterations. Get a life you nerd.)

I have tried for YEARS to find a place and I've finally got one

I found a project in 2022/23 on HN that emulated the different kinds of foil effects from the Pokemon CTG via css. I LOVE the effects- so I'm using them to highlight rivalry matches!

[Matt Gale @mdgale]

A match win should be a celebration of that team, so I wanted to use their colours to bring that home

A lot of team's colours feature red prominently, but just flat red looks...negative?

Gave it some dimensionality and animations, and it makes the celebration way clearer

@leenyburger kk!
When I did something similar to this, to used `agents add` and set up an agent for each role, and ran em each on their own heartbeats. That way they all have their own soul/identity/etc

[Matt Gale @mdgale]

@HassanTahir__ @leenyburger incredible tip, 10/10
