What owners report

  • “[...] Very similar to mine which I embarrassingly have not written about (other than a readme) for the going on 3 years I've been using it daily. [...] Anyway, go forth and build, these type of systems are fast, fun, and teach you a lot (even for a grump using Linux for 20 years like me)”

  • “i have definitely observed a similar pattern in the Big Label Foundation Models… so, i’m glad to see it in this realm too <3”

  • “[...] Ask for it in its final state and prefix with “I want to build a ...” - in other words give the model the reins. [...] With this method I finally made a photo gallery website to thank our guests for coming to our engagement party! [...] To spruce up the photo viewer, I downloaded the readme.md for a component I like (Spotlight.js - thank you devs!) Next, I pasted that readme - plus the 3 or so key code files from the repo - into a Claude conversation and said “please redo the code using the component documented in the attachment”. [...] Pasting code back and forth forces me to read it, which leads to finding more bugs and removing more superfluous bits.) You still have those domains OP! [...]”

  • “I'm a little confused by three statements in your readme: Statement 1: "However, SQL-first migration tools typically lack this separation, leading to potential schema drift. [...] What's the value prop for me as a dev here?”
