This looks sick. I was going to download it but for $10 I am more willing to attempt asking Claude to implement something like it, than to purchase.

I would be more willing to purchase if it was open source and I could build from source to try it first.

It's kinda funny how frontier LLMs change the game when it comes to software. If it becomes so good to make whatever little utility you want, why would I pay 10 dollars when an AI subscription is 20 bucks and I can build way more in a month for that $20? Especially since it's very likely people on show HN have simply used AI anyway, so why would I pay for your prompts?
AI is great at getting you 80% there. But you have to finish the remaining 80% yourself.
I don't really recommend it. If the software is a one-time purchase, there's no need to rewrite it with an LLM. Rewriting the tokens could cost more than just $10.
* full price tokens, yes

Not the subsidized subs

I'd much rather spend $10 than have to sit at a prompt every day babysitting the thing, after working all day sitting at a prompt babysitting other things
