It would be amazing if Microsoft open sourced Windows and make it mobile.

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/...

It seems LLMs are good only at translating from one programming language to another, from one framework to another when inputs and outputs are so well defined. It helped me translate HTML views to API endpoints for Subreply, helped me translate vanilla JavaScript to React, PHP note taking to Python for my personal website. Everything else is slopware at best. You have to manually rewrite what LLMs produce to achieve high quality maintainable code. I had to delete at least 4 projects that were produced only with LLMs because for every new prompt the code will become even more sloppy and unmaintainable.

I thought you loved them. Aren't most of your apps AI coded or AI assisted coded?
🏒 Lucian Marin
No. I used it to create Nostr web client which I will delete.

I'm back to code by myself. LLMs produce only crappy code.

I figured out how to rank stories on news.lucianmarin.com. I check similarity ratio between a title and all other titles in the last 48 hours.

What would be the role of AI in this news site?
🏒 Lucian Marin
No AI, just a site to track AI progress. Elon Musk wanted to do a news site before buying Twitter. I offered to do it. news.lucianmarin.com is the result.

I will probably have to charge one time fee of $500 for each new account that want to use Subreply. Free for read-only. I don't think I can have an income in AI era. Good times are over.

I'm glad you said "new account". 😎
👨🏻💻 Moroni
That is something I'm interested in. What AI news websites/apps are you taking inspiration from?
🏒 Lucian Marin
It will be similar to Hacker News since they ban AI stories.

I'm thinking about doing an AI news site at ai.lucianmarin.com. Just need to fork Subreply, remove followers, add support for title with or without a link, improve character limitation. Keep private messages and everything else.

I predicted prompt based AI ten years ago (lucianmarin.github...). Even Subreply was built with this idea in mind, to teach a model how humans reply to each other.

United States of the World. Why limit yourself to America?

Checkout Subnostr web client at nostr.lucianmarin.com.

Subnostr web client is already working better than nostter.app. Just one day of vibe coding with Gemini 3 and a bit of debugging with Grok from opencode. AI is like the internet in the early days. I can't wait for my daily Gemeni CLI usage to reset so I can continue.
