Side projects and smaller companies normally ship code directly. The moment you get access to capital or design resources, this feature would come in handy.

I need this feature particularly to build an automation script to make social media posts on figma, based on card designs for my product. :P

@babumoshaaye it's not even the last airbender

@Abhishekwebin Recongized this as an issue when using 3rd party api providers with OpenCode, specifically with Chutes.

But on the Opencode Go plan, you're pretty sorted! Never had it break for any model, at any time.

AI has created a whole class of people who think the model is never wrong.

Any bad feedback about a model's capabilities is called a 'skill issue' with the prompt you used.

I use Lenskart quite a bit, but their product consistency is absolute garbage, and I keep going back only because their pricing is the best.

You can order two red frames from them at the same time and still see how different their finishing is. When I pointed it out to their customer care, they told me, "It passed QC, sir," as if that were an excuse for one frame being noticeably lighter than the other.

It has not been a zero-declines experience for me. There were plenty of places (restaurants and train stations) where transactions failed on tap as well as POS insert.

When it worked, it worked perfectly. When it didn't, I found myself angering a large queue behind me while I took out my other zero forex card.

Their app support couldn't even help me figure out why the transaction failed when it did. Guess no log on their end.

This laptop is 10k cheaper on Swiggy Instamart than on Amazon and Flipkart.

Just a reminder of where quick commerce is right now.

My Lumio 7 television randomly shut off mid-YouTube video after being on for barely an hour, after 7 days of inactivity/being powered off.

Now worried about service post warranty period expiring. :/

[Mani @megabored]

In 11 months of using my Lumio 7, the power supply board conked out.

Cry.

@ganeshsonawane Letting me club offers to use my Frido wallet to pay for a Frido Wallet is a fun opportunity Ngl

[Mani @megabored]

@ganeshsonawane Wouldn't mind paying for it if I could combine cart offers with frido wallet gyftr topups 😋

Is this normal 😭

We successfully completed yet another season of "pick-your-own-pay" at Frappe. People gave themselves an overall hike of ~18% with the ratio of average pay to top pay being 1:2.

Frappe itself has grown by more than 40% to a revenue of $5M (₹45cr) with ~10% profit. Everyone in the company gets the same rights as the CEO to pick their pay. It sounds crazy, but happy to report that barring a few hiccups, it seems to be going okay.

@Railway @vite_js @tan_stack @vrzgc That's an insane performance improvement on the platform as well.

I'm expecting bugs, but loving this already.

@francisco_m001 @PlanetScale Too bad they shut down in 2025 🙃
