I paid the next 3 months of hosting then I will probably shut down Subreply for good.
Cole Hudson
Damn, I just remembered my account too. Well, thanks for your efforts Lucian.

I wish I could chime in and help. If it's the latter, thank you so much for making the web worthwhile 🫶

Oh wow! Welp, gg on the run. It's been fun checking back in every now and then.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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
🍊 Lucian Marin
Have you tried the new searchbrowser.app?

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.

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.
🍊 Lucian Marin
Yes. We need apps for iOS and Android.

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.

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.

Any company who has "force reset password" as a fail safe after typing the incorrect password too many times is a company with lazy programmers.

What do you think is the best option?

Every single idea that I have. Replying from Subreply native app on macOS.
🍊 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.

@netopwibby If you remember Moss experiment from Dribbble, now it's live and interactive thanks to AI. moss.lucianmarin.com

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

Changed Subreply branding from purple to Shaolin orange similar to Hacker News and Reddit.
👽 Paul Webb
It's powerful
