🧐 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.
🏒 Lucian Marin We are all brain washed to be experts in a single domain. You need college in order to do that. The problem with this approach is that it's creating disfunctional members of society. You go to a doctor and he tells you he only knows medicine and he can't give you any life advice. Steve Jobs died because he didn't know medicine and nobody told him if he is an expert in one domain he should try to be an expert in multiple domains in order to be a more complete human being. The right aproach is once you handle a domain of expertise, you should try to master as many domains as possible. AI is enabling us to be polymaths.
Zero Edge Yes. AI does elegantly link multiple domains and sometimes comes out with novel solutions due to having that ability. Was surprised when it helped me track down a computer crash by it knowing some oddities involving my specific motherboard, cpu combo in addition to bios settings. No computer tech would have had this info or even thought to look. That said human to human. The skill is knowing who to trust and how much to trust them, less knowing everything because that is not possible.
👽 Paul Webb No Fusion is an excellent iOS camera app that doesn't do the sharpening that default iPhone camera does.
🛄 Andres Navarro Si que tenia abandonado este espacio, pero bueno, muchas veces las ocupaciones nos rebasan en el tiempo, sin duda es cuando aprecias que el tiempo es lo mas valioso que hay. El ano sigue avanzando con mas complicaciones que otros anos, pero librandolas con la ayuda de Dios, por lo pronto a conservar la paciencia y que todo siga avanzando
🛄 Andres Navarro Fuimos a una consulta inicial para la cirugia de nariz de Tatita, mis ojos siguen avanzando, borroso el izquierdo, hernia con molestias, sigo usando aca esta aplicacion viendo aun una aplicacion mas especifica, estoy leyendo 2 libros, el club de las 5 am y el alquimista, juego domino 30 minutos diarios y asi van las cosas, va todo bien solo preocupado por mi trabajo ya que la empresa no esta muy estable y tambien preocupado por las molestias de mi hernia
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni Good luck, friend! And God bless you.
🏒 Lucian Marin What browser are you using?
😎 Frank Rosello I'm on KaiOS so it's Firefox based
🏒 Lucian Marin I will show how much each person donated to Subreply. Every little money will turn your account into a premium one. I need $100 for hosting, $50 for two domains and another $100 for iOS developer account each year. I would also like a Codex, Claude Code or Gemini CLI subscription to turn my vision of a social network into reality. Donate at paypal.com/donate/...
🏒 Lucian Marin I'm thinking about doing a prompt manager for AI.
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni I don't understand the need for a prompt manager but I've seen other people interested in that. I suppose the hardest part is integrating the prompt manager with the hosting system (windows, iOS, Linux etc).
🏒 Lucian Marin Yes. Then patch as well.
Dennis I think i'm giving the ios app a try...
🏒 Lucian Marin The API is working, see subreply.com/api. I added all GET endpoints using Gemini CLI. Now I need to find iOS and Android developers to build native apps.
Dennis Nice work. Are you adding post endpoints for messages and posts as well?
👽 Paul Webb Pretty sweet
🦥 Ilman Fattah what about using PWA.
🤷 Tom Hyndman get to work, we need features! Do you have any JS SPA experience?
🏒 Lucian Marin We need an API before JS SPA. I tried to vibe code something with Gemini CLI (github.com/lucianm...). Having the API ready for iOS and Android apps is a priority.
👽 Paul Webb I quite like it the concept ands immediately installed the developer beta on my phone. It clearly wasn't considered in many places but I expect that from a beta.
🏒 Lucian Marin They toned down liquid glass effect in iOS 26 beta 3. Apple should remove it entirely.
🙍🏻‍♂️ Vasanth V. Apple will allow sideloading apps with iOS 17 techcrunch.com/202...
🏒 Lucian Marin If they allow alternative browsers then I might buy an iPad Mini after all.
Zero Edge After "the plugin" reveal it is pretty clear OpenAI's vision is to be a monopoly (or duopoly like IOS) where every business on earth will have to create a "plugin" to have functionality with their website/system. This plugin will likely cost the business money to list. So they are expecting us to replace a decentralized internet with a centralized one controlled by a single entity. Imo this won't work. One large company with leverage can simply say they won't make a plugin for "x LLM" instead we only support "y LLM" and then OpenAI will have the fun lesson of learning that betting it all on a monopoly is a stupid strategy.
🏒 Lucian Marin ChatGPT doesn't even have mobile apps and the site always asks me to login.
😀 Tom I appreciate the offer. I'm not sure I really have any specific questions at this time. I first thought about them years ago, and it's just been an on-and-off curiousity since then. There is a local float center, so I supose I just need to try it at least once. I like the idea of medition, and I thought it could be used for relaxation, though I'm not sure at this point. I used to sauna for a while when I had the opportunity, and that was pretty relaxing. I guess I have a question: do you think it could be used for relaxing (any for the body besides just the mind)?
Derek Sivers Probably different for everyone. I'm a very relaxed guy, so when friends tell me that accupuncture or massage or hot stones or various other things work for them, I always try it out of curiosity, for the life experience. But really nothing has been super-relaxing to me... EXCEPT: going back and forth between super-hot and super-cold pools a few times - each one staying in as long as I can stand it. Now THAT melts me. Everything else has been just "eh". sive.rs/sauna
👨🏻‍💻 Dylan Taylor Wow this site renders _so beautifully_ on mobile
🏒 Lucian Marin You can use it as an app if you add it to home screen from Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android.
