After playing Octopath Traveler II, I was really inspired by its art style and decided to create my own pixel drawing app from scratch. It's still in the early stages, but it already supports basic drawing, undo/redo, and a clean UI focused on pixel-perfect design.

I plan to add frame-by-frame animation support in the next version.

You're welcome to try it out and share your thoughts! If you like the project, a on GitHub would mean a lot to me.

I really like the idea of making lil apps that run & restart automatically on a group of machines (maybe just 1)

Has anyone learned about Kubernetes for fun & do you recommend it?

LLMs have got darn good with writing code. Vibe coding (stupid term imo) or not, most people are getting assistance for writing code. I concur that writing code is not the most important thing in B2B but it surely makes hell of a difference for technical product.

For example, take a company that does contract management software. Common functionality is upload document, eSign, validate signature, and chain of record, integration with other tools where documents might be hosted.

When I reach out to people to validate ideas like this, I basically get no people to respond. They already have a solution or they are not interested. Michael Siebel talks about finding people whose hair are on fire and people who are early adopters for startups. I dont have network such as YC or others.

How do you validate ideas and get started for situation like this? Where do you find people to talk to that are early adopters and might be willing to give you feedback or their money?

Curious to know how has your outlook has changed with advent of LLMs?

I've been thinking about this over the past few days - If AI is as capable as people here claim - enough to replace junior or intermediate developers - could it be used to maintain semi-abandoned open-source projects?

There is a fair number of abandoned OSS with 1 or 2 major issues that prevent them from continuing to work and isn't too difficult to fix - just requires time. If users pooled context (issues, code, docs) and tokens, I'm inclined to believe an AI agent could resolve them.

Here's an example: hydroxide [0] is a ProtonMail to IMAP/SMTP bridge that no longer works due to upstream API changes [1]. Working implementations are available, just in a different language [2]. All an AI would have to do is reference the current implementation and the alternative implementation, then migrate over to the new API format. Perhaps use an mitmproxy MCP to verify that the requests made are identical. Overall, not a very difficult problem and I can probably do it myself given a few days.

Human engineering hours are quite expensive though and for such a low value task, I would assume an AI agent would be more cost effective.

Is anyone working on a similar problem/premise?
