LLMs are good at boilerplate thanks to repetition in the training data. What makes Svelte great (imo!) is how little boilerplate there is. I worry there’s an unsolvable tension between tools that feel great to use by hand vs feel great to use with LLMs. The latter being mostly busywork

Thanks! It's inspired by 0x10c, teenage me couldn't let go of the fact that they never finished the game, so now that I know a little more I'll just make my own version :)

Ended up pushing it here: spesscomputer.nsarrazin.com

It's just a proof of concept at this stage but I'm already amazed it's possible to do this in a browser, godot is pretty wild. Need to add support for interrupts on the 6502 side of things and uuh *just* make a fun game out of it.

thanks! i'm still thinking about how hard to make it, should players figure out orbital parameters from first principles using stuff like star/horizon sensors or do I "cheat" a little and directly expose velocity for example ? don't want it to be overwhelming but not too easy either

It's open-source here: github.com/nsarrazin/sp...

It runs entirely in the browser so I'll be publishing it soon, it's absolutely not ready for release but it's been a fun learning experience.

I still need to figure out how to make a fun game out of this, not sure what the gameplay loop could be.

Unfortunately the communities best suited to create such feeds are being alienated from the platform 🫠

Yeah I feel like custom feeds could really solve this, seems like there is a lot of untapped potential in building open recommendation systems that are transparent and customizable. Most feeds I've seen are really basic heuristics and miss out on discoverability

As someone building for the self hosting crowd, the main benefit is the assurance that my app will work across all kind of setups. I'd be open to support alternatives but I genuinely don't know any 😅 What would be your ideal distribution method for full stack apps?

This felt like a good use case for reasoning models (better ability to detect its own mistakes especially around things like letter manipulations which are naturally challenging for LLMs) and indeed:

So mastermind is wordle but only for one possible combination

Remember those .io games which were "multiplayer" but were actually just bots? Everyone could feel like they were winning regardless of their skill level!

Social networks are 0-sum game for attention but this will make sure you get replies & likes from fake people to keep you hooked & posting.

Day 17 — until today, intellisense would often fail when you were in the middle of writing components, because Svelte's parser crashed on syntax errors.

We just fixed that. Install svelte@latest, make sure your extensions are up to date, and feel the wind in your hair as you write your components

Naturally it makes me want to move some of the logic away from my components to .svelte.ts classes...

I'm not sure if that's going to be more maintainable long term: having logic, layout and styling into a component was a big plus for Svelte imo. I guess I just need to experiment with it more?
