@peduarte tell me if you find an alternative, everything I try is worse than Arc for productivity. Profiles integrated on the sidebar are the feature I can't renounce
@peduarte i do manual notebook during the workout for no distractions, then take a pic and upload it to @bevel_health just to capture the progression digitaly and track health markers
Coming up with the right abstraction for a component is no easy work. It takes time. Sidebar took me a week of experimenting. Input-group, several days. Field, more than a week.
I build literally hundreds of examples and keep refining until the abstraction is right, the composition reads well, and it "feels good" to write.
Then you see it used in millions of apps and the same abstractions show up in other libraries, it makes all that work worth it.
Keep going.
I wanted to try Opus 4.7 in @cursor_ai to compare it with Claude Code. However, it used up all my 500 requests in two days, doing simple tasks. That’s about 1/50th of what I can do with Claude Code (and resets weekly). I’m quite disappointed.
