Someone replied with "survival mode" which is a great way to phrase it.

Maybe a few different modes? How many can you get out of 18, how long can you last (unlimited), and just a chilled relaxed mode.

I just want to chill... I have plenty of stress in my life already.

Yep, instead of feeling like a fun puzzle the timer just adds unnecessary pressure and gets me really annoyed.

I think a big part is the misperception that it’s “easier” and less effort to run stuff through LLM than to design an effective deterministic process.

Would love to know how you’ve managed to counter this as the drive to throw everything at LLMs is driving me insane.

Amongst lots of little tools, fed up of scribbling down my son’s football (soccer) scores in the Notes app, I cobbled together a little web app instead:

Other parents on the team love it. The live sharing is pretty handy when some aren’t able to watch the game.

I’m not surprised with fuel at like £1.80/L and electricity as low as 3.5p/kwh

Makes EVs quite appealing.

Wondered about doing the same. Don’t suppose you have a repo or anything?

Yes, predictably…

Interesting tweet on the topic here: https://xcancel.com/SamjLondon/status/2021084532187775244

> ... the agreement restricts the supply of court data to news agencies and journalists only.

> However, a cursory review of the Courtsdesk website indicates that this same data is also being supplied to other third parties — including members of @InvestigatorsUK — who pay a fee for access.

> Those users could, in turn, deploy the information in live or prospective legal proceedings, something the agreement expressly prohibits.

I was hoping this might be a syntax or very very lightweight markup that could feed LLM generation of UI rather than just roll the dice to see what UI gets generated every time.

A tiny web app for busy weeknight cooking.

You tap in what ingredients you’ve got, add a time limit + a couple of preferences, and it gives you 3 genuinely doable dinner ideas with step-by-step recipes (no “manage your pantry”, no endless scrolling).

It’s early, but people seem to like the “use up what you’ve got” angle. Feedback very welcome.

You articulated my frustrations much better than I did.

Given more time, money and determination, I’d love have properly challenged the court system/law around this.

Alas, I didn’t and just got slammed with points and a fine. I’m still bitter about it all these years later.

Perhaps, though I’m fairly confident that given enough thought we could fairly quickly come up with a much better process; and without the risk of convicting individuals because of unsent or undelivered post.

Correct. Obligation is on the individual to prove receipt by the Police (in the event they claim you didn't respond).

It's a ludicrous system – I've experienced it first hand.

If for some reason the letter isn't delivered (or indeed sent), the original offence is scrapped and a new offence issued for Failure to provide information.

Frustratingly, there is no obligation on the Police to provide proof of posting, and per the law, it is deemed received once sent.

Try proving you didn't receive something...

I’m building https://tradeyhq.com/

It’s a super simple job management app for busy tradespeople to keep track of jobs.

The main use case is time pressed tradespeople who do most of their admin in the evenings.

The app makes capturing leads incredibly easy and quick. Lots of scope for extending functionality in the future in various directions.

(Not launched yet, squashing bugs and refining a few bits and pieces)

I was trying to work this out the other day and ended up building a thing because I couldn’t find anything similar from the energy companies: https://energybillcalculator.sensecall.co.uk/
