danielandrews43··on SaaS RFP – post and bid on SaaS in public
I was upset at how much I pay for b2b saas when I was only using a handful of features. Not quite things I would vibe code either.

I realized how annoying it was to shop around for new SaaS where everyone has different functionality. The goal with this is to apple to apples with a public RFP process where other people can see as well and publicly bid.

Is this just literally bleeding money?

https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing puts input token pricing at $3/M tokens. Assuming this was ALL input, that's over $2400 in API for $40/month

danielandrews43··on Ask HN: Extract text and translate on every PR
That's cool! We used machine translate to hindi for this which made it super obvious what was english / not as it was different character set (but made it hard to navigate)

Looking for something to help with DX though here, not QA

danielandrews43··on A Coffee Table Book on Programming Languages
Hey everyone, Daniel from the kickstarter here! After learning several programming languages, and looking into many more, I thought about the shared experience all programmers have of getting a program to run for the first time. Whether it's your first time programming or the first time using a new language or framework, pretty much all first interactions begin with a "Hello, World!" command. I decided to turn this into an art piece, and the coffee table book was born. Would love to answer any questions people have!
