🎉 Time for a small micro-celebration! 47 days (!!!) after being publicly listed on Chrome Web Store, my extension finally got its first organic user. I don't have any analytics for churn, so in my head they will stick around forever. And ever. #buildinpublic

Using cloud based LLMs with real-time billing is giving me more anxiety than dropping 2k on a mini-PC capable of running local models.

Looking at how much RAM prices have gone up past few years it's crazy. Better ROI than stocks!

What's the monthly spend of cloud-AIs before it becomes more economical to get 2k hardware to run local LLMs?

Got $18USD of AI credits left in my Zed trial that expires in a few days. Time to vibe code the my next project and see how far I get with it.

My Chrome extension received the Featured badge yesterday. Let's see if will have any positive impact on organic impressions & installs. At the very least now two screenshots are displayed side-by-side, so there's more things to try with the store listing itself. #buildinpublic

Started working on the settings page for Chatbot Chronicles to allow managing the auto-detected assistant connections. Still need to implement all the actions & modals, but I'm pretty satisfied with how it's looking. #buildinpublic

Thinking of changing my extension focus from pure search, into more search-powered organization. Think smart folders, but for LLM chats across providers. #buildInPublic

Another great talk from the Zed's AI engineering series -
AI's 70% problem w/ Addy Osmani
In this episode, we sat down with Addy Osmani from Google's Chrome Developer Experience team to explore what he calls the "70% problem" in AI coding: the gap between what AI can generate quickly and what it takes to ship production-ready code.
We covered:

Developers: I have this problem so I'll spend 3 months building something instead of Googling for an already existing solution.
Also developers: I built this awesome thing, but nobody seems to want it? Why is that!?

As a techy, I'm pretty oblivious to normal people pain-points, and whatever problems I personally have seem to be exclusive to me. So the advice - build something to solve your own problems - is utterly useless. #buildinpublic

I've seen people claim they use LLMs for trading. How does that even work? Y'all just letting the AI roll the dice or what?

Part of me hopes that my extension will remain userless - it'll be that much easier to just nuke it all once the experiment is over. If there's even a few users, it'll be so much harder to pull the plug. #buildinpublic

I just had this realization.. the fact I'm struggling to attract users currently is actually a perfect setup for learning. Which is my main goal out of this project. And if I manage to pull this off, everything else will be so much easier going forward. #buildInPublic
