A very important note indeed, thanks Claude. An absurd gem of a sentence to come out of my leetcode grind.

Submitted v1 of 'Steam Review TL;DR' to the Chrome Web Store for review last night 🍻 Just 1 week from idea to MVP, which is unheard of for me. First time I've leant into agentic coding quite heavily and I can really see the potential

Started drafting up the #Chrome Web Store page and realised there are quite a lot of assets I'll need to pull together. Most of the text is done. Nothing interesting to show today. Thinking I'll probably only sort out screenshots before launch and flesh it out more later

Updated the popup to show a simple status depending on whether a #steam store page is detected. The icon also dynamically changes between the colour and monochrome version.

Placement and styling feels more natural now. This is one of the better summaries, but the built in AI often goes rogue and selectively ignores the context. I'll add a refresh summary button to give an escape hatch; tuning the prompt doesn't seem to be enough

More solid progress yesterday. Injecting content directly into the HTML now. Need to finetune the styling and placement but this is now much closer to what I pictured. Also took advantage of streaming, so you see the response generate in real time.

Very minimal setup working. Steam reviews are successfully being retrieved and summarised in to 3 positive / 3 negative bullets. Quality & tone of the summarisation is a bit awkward but still very impressed. Shown in the popup for now, but aim is to inject into the html content

Since I learnt about Chrome's Built-in AI, I knew I wanted to build something with it. Never done anything with web extensions, but it's also something that has intrigued me for a while.
The idea is super simple: summarise steam reviews on a game's store page

Feels good to address the breaking bug in my #opensource jigsaw puzzle factory library PyJig. Had an external dependency on inkscape which was clunky and was no longer compatible with more recent versions of inkscape

Woah chrome has a built-in localLLM you can use, with APIs for translation, summarisation, writing etc. Pretty old news apparently, but I guess I'm living under a rock. Ideas brewing for potential free extensions ⚗️

After a few days fighting #openSUSE, I give up. Ended up being 3 clean installs and several hours of tinkering, scouring the wiki and forums, I couldn't get past this issue where everything falls apart whenever you resume from sleep mode (screen black, buggy and slow graphics if it did show) #linux

Dabbled with sound effects for the first time as an indie hacker and it's wild how the right sound can completely transform an otherwise mundane action into an irrationally satisfying experience.

Demonstrating optimal productivity by abandoning my main project to build a productivity timer app 👨‍🍳🤌 No regrets. It's free and open source, check it out below
