A very important note indeed, thanks Claude. An absurd gem of a sentence to come out of my leetcode grind.

I'll keep an eye on the Chrome review status and post again once I can officially publish. Going off of reddit I'd guess it will only take ~3 days, given the minimal permissions my extension requires.

Submitted v1 of 'Steam Review TL;DR' to the Chrome Web Store for review last night 🍻 Just 1 week from idea to MVP, which is unheard of for me. First time I've leant into agentic coding quite heavily and I can really see the potential

Started drafting up the #Chrome Web Store page and realised there are quite a lot of assets I'll need to pull together. Most of the text is done. Nothing interesting to show today. Thinking I'll probably only sort out screenshots before launch and flesh it out more later
#buildinpublic day 6

With that I think I'm more or less ready to call this the #mvp put it out into the world. Will spend today doing some final polishing and start researching the steps to get this added to the #chrome web store.

Also added the refresh summary button. Very simple solution but honestly the best one I think. Further tuning the and context was giving diminishing returns and it produces a decent summary more often than not in my humble opinion.

Updated the popup to show a simple status depending on whether a #steam store page is detected. The icon also dynamically changes between the colour and monochrome version.

The Prompt API  |  AI on Chrome  |  Chrome for Developers Discover the infinite possibilities of the Prompt API.

There is actually a Prompt API as well, which I originally overlooked because I thought it was experimental, but its actually supported in #chrome 138 for extensions specifically, so this might be the way forward.
developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/prom...

one of the more annoying quirks is the LLM seems determined to always caveat the positives with negatives and vice versa. The context is very weak and isn't adhered to in the same way you would expect from the likes of a system prompt
#google #chrome

Placement and styling feels more natural now. This is one of the better summaries, but the built in AI often goes rogue and selectively ignores the context. I'll add a refresh summary button to give an escape hatch; tuning the prompt doesn't seem to be enough

More solid progress yesterday. Injecting content directly into the HTML now. Need to finetune the styling and placement but this is now much closer to what I pictured. Also took advantage of streaming, so you see the response generate in real time.
#buildinpublic day 3
#steam #videogames

Very minimal setup working. Steam reviews are successfully being retrieved and summarised in to 3 positive / 3 negative bullets. Quality & tone of the summarisation is a bit awkward but still very impressed. Shown in the popup for now, but aim is to inject into the html content

#buildinpublic day 2

staggering progress already, working hello world tutorial. Locking in to see how far I can get tonight

it has actually been done before, but using the OpenAI API, meaning you need to configure and put in your own API key. Although this is relatively straightforward and inexpensive, I can see this friction being a huge turn off to a lot of potential users. So I think this has potential

Since I learnt about Chrome's Built-in AI, I knew I wanted to build something with it. Never done anything with web extensions, but it's also something that has intrigued me for a while.
The idea is super simple: summarise steam reviews on a game's store page

Feels good to address the breaking bug in my #opensource jigsaw puzzle factory library PyJig. Had an external dependency on inkscape which was clunky and was no longer compatible with more recent versions of inkscape

Small development, literally switching around the order of my display port leads has seemed to solve all the remaining quirks I had on #fedora hah. I'd already figured this out once, but I lost the 50-50 when plugging in my cables this time round and completely forgot it mattered

props to @tomayac.com & @alexandrascript.com for the great docs on this

Woah chrome has a built-in localLLM you can use, with APIs for translation, summarisation, writing etc. Pretty old news apparently, but I guess I'm living under a rock. Ideas brewing for potential free extensions ⚗️

Considered #nobara but heard mixed things and its obviously not officially supported, so I figured #fedora would be a safer bet for stability. My gaming requirements are minimal and steam seemed to work with the basic setup

Moved to #fedora now. And even that took a couple hours before figuring out that I needed to add x11 and use that instead of the default wayland (possibly needed to disable wifi too? that might've just been a coincidence). Anyway, I couldn't say it "just works" which is the dream, but it was close

Choosing a #nvidia graphics card in blissful ignorance back before #linux was even on my radar continues to haunt me. Even if the basics work, there's ALWAYS something that comes out of the woodwork just when I think I've restored my setup to how I like it.

Shame, because when it was working, it felt great to use. But I could just tell that issue would've driven me insane and thought it better to nip it in the bud. Yast will be missed for sure

BIOS update, #NVIDIA drivers the normal way, the hard way, disabling bluetooth, nvidia settings, KDE settings. If it was mentioned, I tried it. Not one addressed the issue. I think the BIOS update might've actually introduced new quirks I hadn't seen before hah

After a few days fighting #openSUSE, I give up. Ended up being 3 clean installs and several hours of tinkering, scouring the wiki and forums, I couldn't get past this issue where everything falls apart whenever you resume from sleep mode (screen black, buggy and slow graphics if it did show) #linux
