I feel strongly that I want an in-IDE pair-programming assistant, but so far I've had at least one or more blocking issues with many of the currently available open source options.

NeoAI is great - for example - I've had it working well on multiple machines before - but today after a Neovim / Astronvim update I'm getting errors about my quotas (which are fine) back from the plugin - and I don't really have time to debug that because I need to get some work done :/

This post is, indeed, intentionally hyperbolic.

It's a reflection on the fact that making all of these mistakes with my own stuff allows me to make better choices at work - and provides a constant canary project where the stakes are lower, but it's actually hosted...so it strikes a good balance of continued learning and experimentation for me.

It's also an experiment in firing blog posts sooner - keeping them "living" in the sense that I can always update them quickly later. Some of the contrived examples I chose didn't really hit their mark, for example, so I'll probably revise them later.

Thanks for the feedback :)

I'm still noodling on a somewhat similar project with treespree.io but had some of the same concerns raised in your thread that I still need to think through.

I think one of the core value adds of these approaches is that they convert people who are inactive out of fear or uncertainty into people who are at least starting to do something and possibly discuss the issues with people they are close to.

Still not sure how to best ensure ongoing engagement for the long haul.

All the best to you guys though - really want to see your project succeed.

It sounds like you'd prefer a straight donation approach?

My concern is stickiness and commitment. I don't want people to show up once, chip in $6 and then disappear forever.

I want people to get engaged longterm and evangelize the platform / cause amongst their own contacts.

I'm open to better approaches for getting more people onboard and active.

Thanks again

I didn't include this in my write up but I figured out a few tricks for generating as many Twitter accounts as you want (their current safeguards against this are not very strong).

I think adding some components that auto generated accounts in addition to something like lambda would make this theoretically limitless in the number of accounts it could run.

I'll leave it for those who have interest in working that out.

Though I haven't built a turn-based game with it myself yet, I know others have and it would basically save you time and allow you to focus on the logic that makes your game unique.

@deificx - Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into this.

@TheSisb2 - Thanks. Glad you'll find it useful.

Gets a few articles through it every day - not making any money yet.

Need to invest the time to get more traffic, tighten the conversion process, clean up email marketing component, etc.

I think it has potential as a lead gen for other products.

Pivot!!

We're still US only right, sorry! We'd have to start geolocating tweets to provide support for other countries.

We're currently operating within the limits.

Best,
