Also noticed this for a while and thought it was weird. Sometimes I‘m also briefly seeing the badge flash on the settings during startup.

Yep I used that in university for generative art. It was a lot of fun and actually got me into coding unlike many failed attempts before that.

I came from Nextnews which was great (but works only with nextcloud)

I made that app! Glad you liked it and I wish I had more time for it.

Account is new and vaguely crypto related. I‘d say yes.

For an app that made you 300$ / month to begin with

Thanks, I hate it

LLMs often fail at the simplest tasks. Just this week I had it fail multiple times where the solution ended up being incredibly simple and yet it couldn’t figure it out. LLMs also seem to „think“ any problem can be solved with more code, thereby making the project much harder to maintain.

LLMs won’t replace programmers anytime soon but I can see sketchy companies taking programming projects by scamming their clients through selling them work generated by LLMs. I‘ve heard multiple accounts of this already happening and similar things happened with no code solutions before.

I‘m one of them. I already only used Windows for gaming and seeing where this OS is going, made me try Linux again and this time might be the first time I might stick with it, thanks to Bazzite.

Games run incredibly well and compatibility is surprisingly good at this point. The only exception are games with invasive anti-cheat like the new Battlefield. But I guess it’s just a pro that I won’t buy a game that essentially has malware included with it.

There are plenty of good Jellyfin players too. I‘m currently using Discrete and I‘m quite happy with it.

Which app are you using? When I got started I just looked at the „All“ feed in voyager and then subscribed to communities that I liked. There are also communities to promote communities like /c/newcommunities@lemmy.world

I started by going from full time employment to part time employment / part time freelance. When I had too much to do with the freelance job plus a few clients ready for new projects, I quit my job and went full time freelance. That’s the safest way if you don’t wanna risk your savings.

So far it’s working out quite well. I got a steady stream of work from about 10 clients and some odd projects without follow-up work every now and then.

It can be stressful sometimes but once you manage to be more selective with projects, it’s all right.

Reminds me of people who described themselves as „no code developers“ before the whole AI hype when they were using stuff like webflow. This job title always bothered me and made me think they were afraid of code or something since making a similar site with a good CMS is not complicated and scales much better and I couldn’t see why you would wanna go full no-code.

I‘m using a hosted Nextcloud instance from Hetzner and I have no idea what this is running on either. There’s a significant number of people who didn’t set up their Nextcloud instance, so people not knowing what it’s running on isn’t too surprising.

Is there anything that generates half-way decent UIs? All I‘ve used was pretty much trash.

Bro can you fix my broken vibe coded app?

The reason people use Electron in the first place is that they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

While Flutter can technically do that, the web apps it outputs are atrocious with poor usability and accessibility. It’s drawing the whole UI on a canvas element which causes all kinds of issues.

I didn’t try out a Tauri app on linux yet, I just know that it’s generally supported. What doesn’t work (well) as of now?

For anyone considering Electron: take a look at Tauri. It’s another way to build cross-platform apps with web tech. It will use the OS‘s web rendering engine instead of shipping Chromium which results in much smaller binaries and faster startup times and less RAM usage. You can also write native code in Rust. It’s like Electron but good.

What works best for me is the web version on desktop with an ad blocker. Runs relatively smoothly, no annoying ads.

Not really. Had one of those. Quality is meh and typing doesn’t feel nearly as good
