Upgrading the prompt function

One thing I notice a lot about LLM-generated code is how much is over-engineers and prematurely optimizes things. This is why I mostly use generated code to get a rough idea (instead of research), then rewrite it myself.

A closer look at the "Triangle" theme ▲ Get it in 2025.9 Beta 3

What my 5AM looks like. Every day. 7 days a week.

I call this theme... "Triangle"

What the heck Stripe! I can't accept ACH payments because I'm Canadian, even though I have a USD bank account connected? 😵‍💫

Have been cookin' these past two years

Everything must work for small window sizes!!

Yaak made $3071 (+222%) in October - MRR +20% - Active subs +27% I had some very strong marketing wins recently, so we’ll see how it goes once the added 5,000+ trials start to expire in November.

Kinda want to build a browser for Vim nerds. No UI, just hotkeys

You're gonna LOVE this one 🔍

Next release will address the bugs and feedback from 5000+ new users last week 🫶🏼

Alright, you Vim nerds (I'm one of them) get HJKL nav 🎁 Also added a context menu hotkey

No mouse required 🐭

Currently improving the environment colors: - Prompt for color on environment creation - Allow choosing "theme" color or custom color

No better workout than digging a trench 💪 🪏

Yaak is the #1 trending GitHub repo for the second day in a row. ⭐ 3000+ stars in 5 days is nuts

Nice try, Hackerman

I've been waiting for this

Number 1 trending repo for today. How cool is that?

#2 comment. 2000 website visitors, and counting!

It's so easy to set up infra on @railway.com Need an image proxy? Add ➟ Template ➟ Image proxy Need PgBouncer? Add ➟ Template ➟ PgBouncer Way easier than AWS or VPS. $26/mo for all this 🤯

WTF. 🤯 Postman's server's are down and you can't even use desktop app with your local APIs! This is exactly why I made yaak.app. It works offline, is open source, has no telemetry, no VC funding, and even syncs with Git! Give it a try and let me know what you think ✨

Lottery tickets are paying off 👇🏼 Last week, a tweet got 310k views: 🙅🏼 800 followers 📄 3000 website visitors 📦 500 downloads Yesterday, Yaak hit the top TypeScript repos on GitHub: ⭐ 700 stars 👀 2500 repo visitors 📄 1500 website visitors 📦 600 downloads

Okay, polish++ ✨🤯

When you accidentally visit the URL before setting up DNS for a new domain...

IntelliJ is now so full of bugs that I might churn. Is it a coincidence this happened right after they went all in on AI?

Started cross-posting to Threads yesterday. It's now my top referrer 🤯

I cooked 👨🏼‍🍳

Optimizing trees renders in React is such a pain

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

The hardest part

Delayed expansion!

Asked my 2-year-old the color of my hair. "Purple" My Rust experience is showing

Haha, this bug has been live in production for too long

I've done the impossible. I can retire now

While I'm on drag-n-drop, here's the ability to drop a file onto any of the "Select File" buttons ✨

Multi-select coming along nicely! Implementing the custom drag layer to preview the dragged images was a pain. Multi-select with mouse/keyboard is done. Next up is: - Actually hooking up the "drag end" event - Filtering context menus based on selected items

How hard can implementing multi select be? Turns out, very hard. 90% done after two full days. Still a bunch edge cases, namely around dragon-drop and context menus.

Playing with a new way of navigating requests (design not final)

Gotta make sure your click targets (green) are as large as possible

I don't think I can call myself an indie anymore. I'd like to introduce my new cofounder, who has been a tremendous help over these past few months. ChatGPT We're now splitting equity 50/50

Folder icons, yay or nay?

One of the worst parts about making a Tauri app is having to debug using Safari dev tools 🫠

I love putting useful links and details throughout my websites, that only show for admin users. Here, my footer has a link to the admin dashboard, and deploy time.

why do the most creative ideas and output come during extreme procrastination?

Would love a service to transform a screen recording (feature walkthough) into a help doc - Turn transcript into content - Pull screenshots/examples from video

Anything like CleanShot that supports uploading to your own CDN?

I launched a YouTube channel for Yaak yesterday and already got 10 subs! The plan is to do a walkthrough for each changelog, as well as some more timeless feature overviews and supplementary content.

Wow, someone purchased for $50/yr then immediately sponsored... for $20 Per MONTH! Many would yell "RAISE YOUR PRICES" but I love having such an accessible plan: - Pay for commercial use - PPP discount - Perpetual fallback - Run OSS for free Fighting enshittification 🫶🏼
