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 :)

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

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

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

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.

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 :)

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

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

Feed it feature requests, it turns them into detailed requirements, generates architecture plan, then creates the feature following rails conventions. Is able to understand your existing rails code. I have a plan to make it smart of rails gems and their usage too :)

So my paternity leave side project is building a desktop app for 1) people who know Ruby on Rails and like to use it for building apps 2) have app ideas they want to build 3) but are time poor and can’t be writing code for hours with all their other responsibilities

I don't feel like people are realizing how many human habits and rituals are irrelevant now because of AI. I mean no offense to this product: producthunt.com/posts/coverl… But this doesn't make cover letters easier for applicants...it makes them pointless for employers to ask for

Why the fuck is it still so hard to buy a raspberry pi for a reasonable price?

Alright I bought a decent domain for a “pay some money and get a high quality event stream” company. I’ll likely never do anything with this, but god damn does the world need this.

Someone needs to combine AI writing assistance (gpt3) with a real time fact checker of some sort and then it’s game over.

Wow, was just looking for a tool to make a LUMAScape (market map) easily...found what I thought looked great at CBInsights and then saw pricing...looks like it's about $100k/year? Probably a good product opportunity there. Or indication the market-size is small but rich.
