What is VisualDev studio? I could not find it googling

I struggle coming up with names, think of a good one, buy a domain, figure it out it there are unrelated products with that name, ask ChatGPT, give up on ChatGPT, struggle for more name ideas, search and discover they are all taken, almost give up, and repeat this a few times until I get lucky ๐Ÿซ

This is like a secret google cheat code, thanks!

Often times when building out a feature, I will write loose types and then tighten them up when my code has a finalized structure.

Like tightening up all the screws after you build something ๐Ÿ”ฉ

Are you currently producing video? Curious in terms of measured ROI justifying a 30% chunk (which seems like way too much) and also because I'm interested watching ๐Ÿ“บ

Thanks ๐Ÿ™

glitterkit is meant to solve common problems with UI libs:
- lack of style customization
- dependency hell
- component composition difficulties

The platform offers a visual CSS editor for styling React or Svelte components quickly. Happy to answer questions, I appreciate the interest!

My wife always makes fun of me about this ๐Ÿ˜‚
She has seen the monster, it's very real and scary

It can make a difference, especially when refactoring it will catch mistakes.

There is a learning curve. You can also start by keeping the types broad/less safe. As you get more comfortable you can move to narrow/strict types for better safety. TS is unique because it gives you this control.

How did you find this? The only documented query params I can find are these developers.google.com/custom-searc...

I've been exploring alternative pricing models also, I think pay-per-use being the most popular. Stripe offers metered billing, so you could implement a token system.

Other than that, you could go old school with license based software. I guess that would basically be the same as lifetime pricing.

Realized that Aider (or any code assistant) works so much better with Svelte 5 after adding a basic context file copied from Context7. I think Claude probably has the MCP tools for the added context already.

Totally agree, you have to protect your vibes. I could see this as a chrome extension you could use with existing social media apps

๐Ÿ‘ Really useful idea here! Lockers, bike rentals, event access, so many use cases.

Something beautiful happened after being laid off in these crazy times. I realized I am NOT ALIGNED with the 9 to 5, my side projects just became my full time commitment. Starting with glitterkit-ui.com

After 10 years of building someone elseโ€™s dream, I am now building my own. LFG! ๐Ÿš€
