🛸 Lucian Marin The wait is over. We have a native Subreply app for macOS thanks to Gemini 4 Argon. There's no social media app on macOS this smooth, not even the best clients for Mastodon. github.com/lucianm...
👽 Paul Webb This is cool! I do wish the sidebar could be expanded and/or the text and spacing between links was smaller though.
🛸 Lucian Marin Got a new job, so I will keep Subreply up and running.
👽 Paul Webb Oh nice! I read the shutdown post before this one haha. GG
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni Congratulations on the new job! God bless you.
🛸 Lucian Marin DeepSeek V4 Flash found 10 bugs in Subreply code. I fixed those bugs then asked again. Another 10 bugs. Fixed. Then I asked Opus 4.6 and it found 40 bugs from which I fixed 30. Then I asked ChatGPT 5.6 Terra and another 20 bugs from which I fixed 10. I had the impression I write simple and correct code, but AI is insane at this point and getting even more powerful.
Zero Edge I mean if they never turn up how serious can they be? I am sure I have a million bugs in my code but a lot of them are almost impossible circumstances.
👽 Paul Webb People hate LLMs and flame devs for using them, but I love that using LLMs to find bugs teaches you how they come to be in the first place. Net positive IMHO.
🛸 Lucian Marin Gemini 4 Argon helped eliminate 217 SQL queries across all HTML views, API endpoints, hooks, forms, and serializers. A typical logged-in Subreply page load dropped from 8-24 SQL queries down to 1-4 SQL queries.
🐘 Alex Holst Such low response times. I'm seeing 24-30ms.
👽 Paul Webb RIP Sir Patrick Stewart
🛸 Lucian Marin He's immortal. Once assimilated by Borg...
👽 Paul Webb This guy makes all sorts of lil' apps ALL the time. I don't ever think to try my hand at something simple yet useful. sindresorhus.com/s...
🛸 Lucian Marin I'm about to beat him at his own game. I dropped another macOS app: Macnews for news.lucianmarin.com site. I try to make sure my Mac/Web apps have at least one or two reasons to exit. I have an idea about a rain app that tells you if it's gonna rain or not today, but there's plenty of weather apps already on the market.

🛸 Lucian Marin You have no idea. I asked Argon to match 1:1 experience of Subreply on web for Subreply on macOS and it did it. So, basically the API and the native client are bullet proof in days, not months or years.
👽 Paul Webb There's a new browser that aims to be the best parts of Arc and Dia. Only problem is, it chokes on my 1,000+ tabs I currently have in Helium browser ardia.dev
👽 Paul Webb Deno is dead so I made Ende (German for "end"): docs.ende.sh/runtime. Currently pushing up a new version of my database, Disc, to run on Ende as well.
🛸 Lucian Marin I tried Bun on math.lucianmarin.com and it's terrible. It doubled the app size by using unneeded polyfills. Yes, the world needs a better and faster Node.
🧐 Prateek so what's the plan for subreply ? Is it going to continue to exist ?
🛸 Lucian Marin Yes. We need apps for iOS and Android.
Zero Edge Thanks to Matt Mullenweg I am very motivated to move off the WordPress ecosystem as soon as I have time to tackle it. WordPress is nothing special after ai came into the picture.
🛸 Lucian Marin He stole my work, the most popular WordPress theme. Removed the credit and the link back to my website. One of the reasons why I created Subreply.
🛸 Lucian Marin I hate paying bills every month. It will be nice to pay every 3 or 6 months. I don't know who invented monthly bills and salary, but it sucks. I wish I get paid every week.
👽 Paul Webb Preach brother!! Paying bills in this economy feels like getting punched in the face and asking for more.
👀 Kishlu Yamaraja Selva Selva 👀. Hello!
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni What language is that? Sounds like "Salve" in Portuguese, that loosely translated means "Hello".
🛸 Lucian Marin I asked Argon to tune production server for me over SSH using a stress test I created with DeepSeek months ago. It cut memory usage in half from 300MB to 150MB. It improved the stress test too. It even changed my logparser utility to drop old logs - basically doing logrotate without logrotate in Python. Now I started working on all my git repos at once by running the agent in my workspace path. I feel like a code samurai!
👽 Paul Webb This sounds like a good idea, I should do this for my servers.
😌 Ismail What are you building?
🛸 Lucian Marin Every single idea that I have. Replying from Subreply native app on macOS.
🛸 Lucian Marin If you remember Moss experiment from Dribbble, now it's live and interactive thanks to AI. moss.lucianmarin.com
👽 Paul Webb I don't remember but I can't wait to check it out. A few weeks ago I had a chat with Helmut Esslinger about my systemSOFT concept. I think a post-desktop paradigm is needed but naming things is hard. systemsoft.works
