Has anyone played with coderabbit? If so, I'm curious what the experience has been like.

Not live yet, but how does it look?

27.07.2025 00:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0New app idea:
- Scan receipts to itemized lists
- Track prices over time
- Budget help
- Ask AI about items
- Expiry alerts (Thanks for this idea @inpecular.bsky.social!)
Demo: smartcart.coffeecodechill.com
Thoughts?
I made a demo of a Duolingo clone for Code: zaksabeast.github.io/CodeLingo/
I'm wondering if I should build this out further.
I feel the benefits are mostly in the signals:
I use type errors when renaming or removing properties to know what code to update. If `obj?.a` is always valid, I lose those signals.
New devs might use `?` as a crutch when property access fails.
Typos like `obj?.a` vs `obj?.A` won’t be caught.
Top app ideas so far:
• Budget-by-Force: slow release of funds over time
• Simple Day: a todo list where you can only commit to 3 items per day, and they must be done to keep a streak
• Duolingo for software dev: learning, building a GH portfolio, and interview prep
Are any of these worth building?
I made a new Discord to track app ideas: discord.gg/nwMcqyf8Xs
Come join! Even if you don't have ideas, discussing others' ideas is helpful and fun!
I'd like to expand outside of Pokemon. It's fun, but not as fulfilling as it used to be.
I'm looking for app ideas - big or small, difficult or easy.
Anyone have any?
ICYMI, new research shows how to make Platinum Starter RNG way more consistent!

I’ve briefly touched on this in past videos, but the question comes up a lot, so I wanted to get the word out!
Hey! I haven't put it on the site yet, but you can grab it here: github.com/zaksabeast/A...
If you use this, don't enable "3ds Mode" on the site. You'll still want to soft reset after the first timer goes off, but otherwise it's like NDS RNG.

Pinging @sorendog.bsky.social to see this since they played a big role making the starter tool too!
New video's up!
You're one step away from getting shiny starters in HGSS. If you used the Cute Charm method, this is what comes next. Enjoy!

The new Cute Charm ID tool is ready!
I've been shocked at how much this increases shiny odds.

Testing a new 3ds setting for the cute charm tool. Seems to work well with TwilightMenu. This won't be in the initial release later today, but expect it soon.
