here's the original conversation, you can see how I had to adjust the prompt to get something I liked

me saying 'more like "robocrap"' is like 'zoom in and search'

I didn't like the taste of the first place, but it was an easy hop from there to something that resonated

Claude invented AI-rhea when I was looking for slop-like terms, and then both it and ChatGPT reflected the meaning on the first try

just a potty humor example, but it's clear LLMs can synthesize new legible info, which many or most users already know, but it seems widely doubted still

One of the roughest DX edges in Svelte right now IMO is reading the deps of $effects - overall it's ⚞incredible⚟

I've seen some ideas floated like listing them in an editor placeholder comment - here's another, but can it be done in vscode? and what would be the ideal styling that doesn't conflict?

I'm making a toy 2D web game engine with a focus on topdown action RPGs

www.dealt.dev

It's pre-alpha, can't make+share games quite yet

uses Svelte, TypeScript, PixiJS - github.com/ryanatkn/dealt

collaborators welcome! lots of interesting problems - architecture, perf, UI/controls, game design 🔮

I have an entry into the hypercard genre, www.dealt.dev - has about 4 weeks of work in it

I got the motivation playing with svg.wtf from @wattenberger.com to follow an old idea with many prototypes - starting with an SVG editor really clicked

uses Svelte and PixiJS - github.com/ryanatkn/dealt
