No one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do.
I wish I could use rust more in the real world but everything is web based😓
Product update: you can now add images to messages in chat spaces. This thread has an example.
Below is my ClarityText thread on this announcement. 1) Just click the thread URL to see data sources (without needing to login). 2) But join my chat space, Alphabet - Learn from the business, to get notifications for my future messages. claritytext.com/space/ks7e6hd1…
This was a fun feature to implement on the backend engineering side of things. I got to learn the LexoRank algorithm which allows us to you efficiently re-order channels without re-indexing on every update!
Product update: You can now re-order channels in a chat space. In the channel settings, you can drag channels around in the list:

The new feature to add titles for threads are important for my startup, ClarityText. A key selling point is to make it easy to run a public chat space. --> And then turn that chat space into an SEO-optimized knowledge base.
Product update: You can now add titles to threads And they are optional to add.

Product update: you can now invite people to a chat space without a (random character) join code. Just share a URL to make an invite.
Working on a user contacts feature at @ClarityTextCom 🏗️ This will be similar to a friends list on most apps, with the ability to see when a user is online.
Product update: A space owner can configure a space to allow anyone to view messages without logging in. (The visitor would still need to login in order to author a message.)
if you're a vibe coder rolling your own auth, there's no way in hell i'm signing up for your platform.
the urge to nuke and rewrite the codebase vs updating old react components :(
Are there any LLM’s that were only trained on “good” code and not millions of lines of random repositories?
Watching "Alien" for the first time tonight and these 1979 graphics look gnarly!
The use case for ClarityText is for a professional product or expertise to run an online, chat-based community. So, it’s more like a professionalized Discord than it is like Slack. For a small business, I think a few important selling points is 1) lots of configuration options…
Google ranking / SEO is annoying. I find it strange they allow other company's to false advertise like this.

Next.js is the Arch Linux of the web, on the bleeding edge and always breaking🤣
Its so easy to break your typescript mono-repo with one bad tsconfig valueT! Think about what happens when you compile two packages in different version of js and try to import them in web bundler🥲
I swear, 90% of software development would be easier if libraries had great error messages and traces. The amount of time lost to simple bugs with impossible-to-understand error messages is insane!
We are all just 0s and 1s pretending to have free will.
