I made an OS tool does something similar—but for entire ReactJS components with TailwindCSS: https://react.gitwit.dev/

(You need to sign in, then you have unlimited generations.)

Source code: https://github.com/gitwitorg/gitwit-server

It's still in beta and pretty buggy, but happy for feedback as well!


Awesome!


Thanks, James! We should record a video on code interpreter when you're around!


I never know where to find up-to-date template repositories!


Nice. I've used Cheerio for this in the past: https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio?tab=readme-ov-file#sele...


Congrats—That is awesome! Curious, how long did it take you to get your first customer?


It happened very soon after launch actually, maybe a few days. Because the name essentially is a search term, people were able to find it right away


Nice. I found it a little confusing that vx.dev (the domain) doesn't work.


yes you are right, the domain is a little expensive and already sold out:)


you absolutely cannot be naming your company after a domain name you do not own. Terrible choice


Maybe vvx.dev? Naming your service a domain you don't own is going to be confusing and possibly result in legal headaches. Not worth it


Or just vxdev or vx-dev or VxDev or something that doesn't look like a domain name.


I mean it's not like you can name your company Microsoftcom so I'm not sure these are any better. If someone owns vx.dev and they bought it before this thing was published they don't have to try very hard to make a case for infringement.


It's not like the letters "VX" are now permanently claimed and unavailable for any software-related product.

This might depend on things like whether the name of the domain owner is "Vx Dev", or "VX Systems Inc" and they happen to have a cute .dev TLD.


If your product takes off, it for sure won't get cheaper


sounds like you need to rebrand immediately


As an engineer but not a climate scientist, it is really difficult to make sense of these models. They come in at least three levels of complexity, where simpler ones are used to verify the output of the more complex ones.

If you want to try, Hector is a great one to start with: https://github.com/JGCRI/hector

I wrote a little blog post with an overview of some of the open source models: https://possibleplanets.com/2022/05/06/how-to-forecast-the-c...


What's the closest thing to ShipFast that's free/OS?

You still would need to add Stripe but there are so many examples publicly available that it should be straight forward


I use this as a subscription Stripe starter: https://github.com/vercel/nextjs-subscription-payments/tree/...

Still quite a bit of customisation to do, but was a good starter.


Cool. I've been reading about analog computers recently, and here's a little history:

1936: Water integrator, used in USSR until the '80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_integrator

1940s: Torpedo Data Computer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_Data_Computer

1949: MONIAC, another water integrator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Machine

1960s: Scanimate, of which there are still a couple in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanimate

Modern day: Slime molds, other biocomputers, and domino computer: https://youtu.be/OpLU__bhu2w

And of course, quantum computers.

I love the care that goes into the presentation in these old videos.

Slow, with plenty of breaks to let your brain catch up, usually filled with a nice graphical example to keep your bring churning. Plenty of “why” explanation, in the beginning. Authoritative, but not condescending. Just the right amount of jargon.


There are also pneumatic computers. Here is the recent article: https://cacm.acm.org/news/275366-pneumatic-computing-gains-a..., but I remember (around 30 years ago) mentions of them in the field of nuclear reactors…


A very nice and funny demonstration of the Moniac. https://youtu.be/gkNaZJmii28?si=7SHd3R3xBFxc86HS


Quantum computing isn't an analog computer. It's not digital either but it's definitely not analog. It has this thing called qubits.


Analog and digital quantum computing are distinct things https://www.quera.com/glossary/analog-quantum-computing


Here's one from the 1960s used to determine the power coefficient of reactivity for a sodium-cooled graphite moderated reactor in Nebraska.

anabrid, the computer behind THAT was funded by the German govt's DARPA:

This is awesome.


thank you
