I just built this Chat UI, its satisfying to build something and still feels a bit like magic to hook it up to an LLM to get replies back. Playing around with language learning again, i know this has been done to death. I plan to add ways to translate / add words to vocabulary #buildinpublic

Managed to finally deploy my personal website today! Finally.
Playing around now with making a simple Go board in JS, with the goal of being able to potentially put it into a PWA to use on my phone - also thinking of potentially hooking it up to engines speaking GTP via a websocket bridge 🤔

Ok, this is not so bad, its a bit easier to write OCaml if I write it like F# (duh) using pipelines, before for some reason I had it in my head I had to write recursive functions to do anything useful...
So this is day3 part 1 of #adventofcode not got time to do part 2 in the middle of the day

Just finishing up a redesign of my website, i'm pretty happy with how this has come out, I used Windsurf to help me build it. Its probably turned out to be the best design I've ever managed on my own (ignore the Astro dev toolbars) and Astro has been a delight to work with. Also responsive!

Another one! Adding sorting and filtering (filtering still WIP) and a slight UI tweak

Converted my lil' app to use an Ecto schema for languages now so they're stored in the database and queried. Not a lot, but it turns out i'm tired! Glad I finally managed to do this though as it unlocks a lot. PS: Windsurf IDE is awesome so far.

A bit of iterating on UI, looking at filters and I think a filter bar is the way to go. Did a couple of other "small" things:
* Implement proper pagination
* Make flash messages fade out after a short time as it was annoying me
Was a good look into Hooks. UI is hard!

Playing around with the new UI still, but having trouble with #PhoenixLiveView streams. When i click edit and then cancel, all my words disappear and I have to reload. I suspect its some interaction between my mount function and the "apply_action" function the view was generated with #ElixirLang

Well, its not very sexy yet, done a bit of customising with flowbite, but basically have the core of a simple app to log words done, i've gotten to this point before, but i'm purposefully trying to keep my approach really simple to keep myself motivated now so no normalising etc! #buildinpublic

Been playing around with Phoenix framework again and it’s feeling good, I think I’ll just move back to using it as I miss Elixir a lot. Nothing concrete to post today as my wife has been sick, hopefully tomorrow I can dedicate some time!
I can share a dog pic as we’re dog sitting though!
