Ok it took a bit longer than expected, but the new order management component is now coded up and working! So gratifying to see it go from concept to design to actually working!

#buildinpublic

Just finished a big refractor to improve speed. Website feels really fast now thanks to caching improvement.

#buildinpublic

Wow. It's funny, I feel like usually you hear these stories but it's the other way around. What was causing those long latencies?

Hey

My design process is:

1) Google AI Studio - quick prompt to describe the component I want. Gemini 3 makes really modern-looking UI

2) Mock it up w/ Figma
2.5) tweek/tweek/tweek

3) Code it

Design for the new order management component is complete. I've found that being able to visualize your design before you code it is a 10x hack.

Yea I feel the same way. It's hard to find the balance of MVP vs quality. I def fear people being turned off by bad UI.

Working on order management redesign. I think its coming out good.

I was thinking of setting up an iron condor with some skew to the downside.

Sounds good! I'll let you know when I'm ready.

I stared dofooding my own app (options trading theta-logic.com) and realized it was missing a few things. But super excited to be at the point that things are generally working. #buildinpublic #optionstrading

Fixing bugs

Yea I just did the same thing.

I used to, now I've moved mostly to antigravity

What's the thing that takes the wind out of your sails the most? Mine is when my wife says she doesn't care about my side project and wants me to stop working on it.

#buildinpublic

Me too

Just a sneak peek of the video I'm working on #buildinpublic
I'm super proud of this UI I built! Its the best way to trade options.

Still working on editing product intro video. Using Davinci Resolve. Tonight, I found eleven labs - it can do really good ai text to speech. This is gonna be a lifesaver for me. #buildinpublic

Hot tip: If you are vibe coding you need to get disciplined with git. Force yourself to do regular commits as you go. Everytime you get to a point something is working, commit. You will thank me later. Actually come to think of it 🤔 this applies universally, AI or not.

Yup same here. For me my side project time is pretty much after the kids go to bed. So pretty much same productivity weekend or non-weekend

Just get a super cheap Android. You can find plenty of them for like...$20

theta-logic.com

It's a stock trading platform specifically designed for option traders

#buildinpublic

Yea about the same for me, except I run my own email server...which I do not recommend cuz its such a pain in the ass

Tonight I'm putting a script for a demo video together. This kind of stuff does not come naturally to me but I'm motivated to show people what I've been working on. Also doing this script has reminded me of how awesome this thing is. #buildinpublic

Yea I've heard of this happening. Be careful with the YOLO agent mode. I have my settings set to always ask before running console commands.

Why? Cuz Dioxus brings #rustdev to the web in true to Rust form ⚡compiles to wasm 💕 reactive-ish UI. Of course it's not for the faint of heart. But if you are already into Rust, you know you already know.

I wanna talk about the tech stack for theta-logic.com

👌Dioxus v0.6 - an amazing #rust UI frontend!
⚡ Some homemade UI stuff made with HTML canvas
🚀 MariaDB

First of all Dioxus is amazing! I think it's really the piece of tech that enabled this whole project.

Launchplan:
#buildinpublic

1 Make a YouTube video demo

2 ask people to add their email to my beta list

3 ... Um need your help here...what next?

Ok I'm gonna try this #buildinpublic thing. I'm not much for social media, but I'm gonna find out what it's all about. I've been spending my free time building theta-logic.com and finally have a working prototype.
