Damn dark mode is annoying! Didn't expect it to take so long to add in or create so much complexity in the app 😅 #buildinginpublic

Bugs that I made in Scarlett Panda yesterday while rushing through some frontend changes: - Broke the logout button and trapped everyone in the app - Dark mode missed a couple of pages - Dark mode status flickered when logging in #buildinginpublic

Finished my freelance work quickly because I was excited to get back to another #buildinginpublic day for Scarlett Panda. Today we're refactoring the story generating backend. But first, cleaning up a few bugs I created yesterday while rushing through the frontend changes...

Last change's of the day for Scarlett Panda are live: -LLMs bumped to GPT-4o-2024-11-20 for the "creative improvements" -Storybooks (premium stories with 15 min generation) have more consistency -Some clean up of the code ahead of a big refactor in the story generation logic tomorrow

Oh my god - I just realised that Scarlett Panda was still using Dall-E 3 for one of the content types 😅 Not only embarrassingly behind the times, but also expensive. Thankfully only ~1,000 generations in the last couple of months so not too bad.

Change 2... Finally a dark mode for Scarlett Panda. This took embarrassingly long to add given that we make bedtime stories 🙈 Also embarrassingly long to align all the colours between themes.

Get ready for a big #BuildInPublic day for Scarlett Panda 🐼 I wrapped up a bunch of freelance projects to carve some time this week to fix a bunch of things on Scarlett Panda that have been neglected for toooo long. Firstly: Black Friday offer....

Any fellow sci-fi book nerds on here? I’ve just finished the 2nd Three Body Problem book (Dark Forest) and looking for a recommendation for another book before I jump into the 3rd

It gives me a headache to think about how JavaScript-focused developers build apps without something like Jupyter Notebook for Python 🤯

Anyone have decent headphones that can last > 1 day or work while charging? I've been using AirPods for a while but having to take them out to charge 3 times per day is so annoying

Me when Cursor can't solve a bug after 3 attempts and I have to open the file and have a go myself

When you have too much paid work to do before you can get to your unpaid work 😴

We had a client misread their contract, assume meetings are free, and rack up a big bill with a bunch of unneeded catch ups - now they're disputing their invoice. What would you do?

An actual country has an “efficiency” department with 2 heads named after a meme. Reality is a sitcom and the writers are actually funny 😂
