This looks cool! I'll check it out. Out of curiosity: I assume you've also used agents to help build this, and on the site you mention working on this for ~6 months. Most one-man projects I see that use ai seem to focus on creating and presenting a concept as soon as possible (to a lot of people I think the main benefit of stuff like vibing is that you really quickly get something that you can have others test out).

On the site you also mention being pretty opinionated about the tools you use / build, which I imagine is part of the reason why you spend more time on this before releasing it. What was your experience using ai to build a larger project with a very specific idea / taste in mind?

I must have authored literally a million lines of C++ over my career, and done many talks about clean coding, etc.. But in this one I quite appropriately wrong almost zero lines by hand!

Surprisingly, I've really enjoyed the experience. I have friends who lament that they probably won't be hand-writing code much more, but although I've always loved the craft of coding, I discovered that a lot of the fun I get is just in the end result, not how I got there.

Why is that, can you elaborate a bit?

Also one question about economics of writing such tools using AI - How much it costs you?

PS: It looks great, I want to try it today :)

Well, once the LLMs are better and faster at writing code than the humans, coding by hand becomes a hobby rather than a job..

I guess personally I spend just over 100/month on LLM subs

Yeah, I guess that will be the future. I'm not sure if its a good thing or not. I hope it will not affect my job position.

Last question, which LLM provider you use and the model?

Mainly claude opus, with some fable for special occasions. And GPT5.6 is also good. But this stuff changes all the time.
