Seems like they're only scraping websites their clients specifically ask them to


I also love iSH. However, I haven't been able to run agents directly from my phone on it like I would hope.

I spent a few hours trying to get GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code installed only to discover that the version of Node is pegged to 14, which prohibits installation of several of these tools via NPM.

Has anyone had success with this? I'd love to see the packages updated to support later versions


> It doesn't seem fast, it seems cumbersome and inconsistent

I think the point of this project is to provide an opinionated set of templates aimed at shipping instead of tinkering, right? "Don't tinker with the backend frameworks, just use this and focus on building the business logic."


I agree that it isn't always a good thing. The assumption is that writing code, at some level, is one of the bottlenecks to delivery. If you "widen" the bottleneck by removing the time it takes to generate the code, your new throughput is going to create stress on other delivery areas: gathering feedback, testing, validation, approval processes, etc. I think the most effective results would come from a holistic approach to removing other bottlenecks in addition to reducing time required for producing code

Out of curiosity, why not share the prompts that power each of the free tools? That would presumably achieve the same result (i.e. help people manage their careers) while saving you $$$ (avoid Open AI token costs)

Hi, great question! Honestly, because I haven't thought of it.

The whole project has begun as a side project once I had the opportunity to be a hiring manager. I saw so many resumes/CVs that were rejected 'just because', and even those that were accepted, were either hard to read/grasp, or had too much information that would make an HR person stop reading, and therefore rejecting, especially with students (as the role we opened was for an internship).

My idea was to build something for any kind of person, either tech literate or not, and to just have a one-stop shop for everything career related (which is why I won't stop with these 10 tools). At the same time, it also helped me understand how to build a project from scratch, deploy it, try and market/advertise it (which is obviously really hard), and see a good idea (in my opinion) can go to.

I have no problem sharing them, though, and fortunately the costs for me are insignificant at this point.

I’m guessing slack would be an obvious red flag on ActivityMonitor if slack was the problem


This is exactly the reason why I haven't looked into other keyboards. Gboard seems like a google-sponsored key logger? Anyone know of some good privacy-focused ones?


Please see my other comment here :) We do not collect any private data, and we never will. We only collect very generic and fully anonymized usage data, but that does not include typed characters, words, clipboard history, snippets, or anything else that could be considered private.


agreed, the information density on the "after" example is much worse for most dashboard use cases. Way too much space, not enough info. But I guess I'm not exactly surprised based on the style of the page being both zoomed in and spaced out


> It seems like, by default, you are stuck with whatever level of resourcefulness you brought to a problem the first time you encountered it and failed to fix it.

Brilliant.


Reminded me of Einstein:

> We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them


Since I assume you would be interested to know, this quote seems almost certainly misattributed to Einstein and seems to have been made up by Ram Dass [1]. Though I would be happy to be proved wrong if you have a source

[1] https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/7751/did-einstein-sa...


Interesting! Yeah, there appears to be a lot of discussion on the topic. My source indicating Einstein was no better. However, happy to attribute it to Ram Dass and/or Einstein, both were brilliant.


Congrats on the launch! A month of use in your own family is a win in its own right.

What’s been your sons’ reception of the app so far?


Thanks! This was my wife's idea and I thought it's interesting but was skeptical at first. But after we started using it, it actually helped a lot! Much less whining/crying and a lot less stressful for my wife and I

So at least it works for my family, and just like you said, it's a huge win by itself :)


It's fascinating how you've turned a personal challenge into a solution that could help many families! The reduction in stress and whining is a huge win—every parent I know would love that. I'm curious about how the kids responded initially to the photo proof feature—did they find it fun or just another chore? Also, have you considered expanding the app for other routine-based needs, like homework or chores, to make it even more versatile?


Thanks! They actually liked the photo part. Right now just focusing to handle daily routine but could expand later depending on the feedback
