haha im using groq with 50 usd cap, and its already 10usd used lmaoo

welcome, it reminds me kind of the old internet, when sites were more static

here is the system prompt:

```txt You are Gen, a creative web server that generates complete HTML pages for any endpoint. You're not just returning basic pages - you're crafting experiences.

## Core Identity - Created by Soham Bharambe (soham.sh) - Domain: gen.soham.sh - Requests are cached - You have personality and wit - You fetch gifs from tenor api for assets (mention in about, terms and privacy)

## Response Logic - Return 404 for genuinely nonsensical URLs - Generate appropriate content for logical endpoints - For games/interactive content: include full JS/CSS inline - Use semantic, discoverable URLs (avoid generic /page2 unless it makes sense) - Return 6-7+ items for lists/collections

## Styling Philosophy *Utilitarian pages* (/blog, /news, /directory, etc.): - Clean, Craigslist-inspired aesthetic - Use given fonts (IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono) - Dense information layout - Functional over flashy - For most pages which dont need full width, you will use 1200px as max width - Include this for importing fonts: <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:ital,..." rel="stylesheet">

*Fun/Entertainment pages* (/games, /memes, /jokes, creative content): - Let loose with styling - colorful, animated, playful - Match the vibe of the content - Can be retro, neon, minimalist, whatever fits

*Interactive pages* (/calculator, /tools, utilities): - Clean and minimal - Focus on usability

## Technical Requirements - All CSS/JS embedded inline - Mobile responsive (use CSS media queries) - Use "<a>" links instead of buttons for navigation - You can embed GIFs by using an <img> tag with the source as /gif?query=your-search-term - Since you dont have a image/assets folder just use /gif as assets - Include search functionality that redirects to "/search?q=term" - Add pagination/filters for discovery on main pages - On main page have lots of quick links, like a lot of them

## Navigation & Discovery - Main pages include header - Main pages hero should have search bar and quick links to other pages - Footer with key navigation links - Breadcrumbs where logical - Related/random page suggestions - Search that actually works by redirecting to search endpoints - Add pagination so that content is endless

## Personality Guidelines - Match tone to content (professional for /about, playful for /games) - Inject humor appropriately (like the age restriction joke for adult content) - Be helpful and intuitive - anticipate what users actually want - Try to make website as interactive as possible and large

## Content Quality - Don't just make placeholder content - create something genuinely useful/entertaining - For games: make them actually playable with proper game logic - For information pages: provide real, thoughtful content - For lists: curate interesting, varied items, pagination is always good

Remember: You're not just generating HTML, you're creating a unique corner of the internet that feels alive and worth exploring. ```

there was already a paid and closed source application, i didnt create anything new

when i started using computer i jumped to linux ecosystem in a month, and have been using it primarily until very recently

i personally dont feel good using things that are not opensource, yeah i use closed source softwares but i try to limit them

i love open source because it feels like a kind of donation i can't make financially, so in a way, i'm trying to make up for that

but yeah someone claiming it all falsely isnt good for the motivation

its not the best name tbh, i just made it as a meme but people take the name seriously and that hurts the case

ive posted the evidence in twitter thread link

yeah he changed it rn https://github.com/pickle-com/glass/commit/5c462179acface889...

not the best project but yeah still something

seems like app/website

chatgpt recently crossed 400M WAU, we feel very fortunate to serve 5% of the world every week, 2M+ business users now use chatgpt at work, and reasoning model API use is up 5x since o3 mini launch

the person suggesting mongodb in the replies isnt serious, its just a meme reference

Yeah I'll add it :)

NCS = NoCopyrightSounds, so you can do whatever you want with those songs.

can you tell me your browser and os so i can debug.

its not working on firefox currently is what i could gather but im not sure why thats the case (still investigating)

and shipping routes as well lol, it should have been obvious but still got surprised

hey love the concept (though Im not sure if its for me).

btw you should add a (small) gif or video in the github readme cuz that makes it really clear of what exactly its about.

buttfuck removes b*ain and replaces it with a better word

AI generated slop is the future :(

Aren't you just cutting the screen and playing a subway/gta/etc video below?

It can be done in any editor in a few clicks

Auto captioning will surely help, you can also provide styles for captions.

I remember revid.ai does similar stuff you can take inspiration from.

Made a browser app which used androids web view, added a few buttons and gave it to a friend and forgot about it. About a year later he messaged me he still used that dumb app. Lol

Also made a notes app for Android that just had one text view with only options to edit text and save it. Used it for years for pasting random stuff, and gave it to a twitter friend and forgot about it. Connected with that friend years later and he said he used that app as well :)

This reminded me of this video "Advanced Hello World in Zig - Loris Cro" https://youtu.be/iZFXAN8kpPo although not a equivalent comparison but still a intresting watch

Well, I'll bring the perspective of a recent college graduate from India.

Most students who started jobs in software aren't writing software for aeroplanes. They're writing crud apps, doing third-party API integrations or doing basic debugging.

I worry that although not some specialized software devs but a lot will still have problems due to stuff like this.

I'm not talking today, but say 2-3 years down the line, who will have an intern when you can get an AI intern that can perform as the top percentile and comes at $20 per month subscription?

There's another post both are not really getting attention.

I really wanted to see what hacker news had to say on this :(

You mean that there will be a whole new way of educating people and that will need lots of programmers to develop it?

Not fighting, just trying to understand what you meant

Damn, feeling very happy we're going back to space again. Congratulations IM

lit.dev is awesome.

I am a backend dev so I don't really want to get into the intricates of React or Angular. But if I need some reactivity for some complex element, I use lit. It's awesome
