I think these types of projects are really great for developers to exercise their end-to-end skills -- developing all pieces of the product. Kudos for launching it!

As someone who's done this before, the value is all in that experience and finding those gaps that you didn't know existed.

One important gap I originally didn't know about was needing a market for my product idea. I thought just because I had a clever idea that it would sell! Turns out that's not the case most of the time.

And in this case, I don't think there's a market for no-code solutions that simultaneously require HTTP API integration (that's not no-code, that's low-code), when there is a really simple low-code solution that doesn't require a network round-trip.

Again, kudos on completing the exercise of releasing something! It's a step most developers don't take, and absolutely worth the experience no matter where it goes.

Ha, thanks for letting me know! I hope it's not causing too many problems out there :-)

Interesting. Wayne Rosing (Silicon Valley pioneer and early engineering lead at Google) has been working on a global telescope project for a long time now also.

I've found the most useful prompt tip is to add to the end of every prompt:

"Ask questions for clarification as needed."

Claude will then present a list of questions I answer, either directly, or sometimes those prompt more thought or questions from myself.

Either way, that statement helps escape the assumption that I just want some slop reaching the goal in the quickest way possible.

Not surprising at all; people always say sex/porn has brought most of the advances of Internet technology (at least in the earlier days).

Not always true. Sometimes customers hate the vendor, but there is no viable alternative.

Just remove a couple pain points and you can create a shift.
