- This looks great! I'm not a guitar enthusiast myself, but the design and color tone look very slick.
Congratulations on the launch after a year of work, and I wish you all the best with it!
Just out of curiosity, how much time did it take you to get app store approval from Apple and Google in 2025?
- I bought into that idea a month or two ago, that more control and detailed instructions would deliver a clean result. That just led me down a rabbit hole of endless prompt re-runs and optimization loops. Many time I thought I had the final, perfect prompt, the next iteration slightly worsened the output. And sometimes the output was the same.
The last 20-30% of precision is brutal. The time and tokens we burn trying to perfect a prompt is simply not an optimal use of engineering hours. The problem is simple: Companies prioritize profit over the optimal solution, and the initial sales pitch was about replacement then it changed now its all about speed. I'm not making a case against AI or LLMs; I'm saying the current workflow, a path of least resistance means we are inevitably progressing toward more technical debt and cleanup at our hands.
- Probably valid sunk cost fallacy, but it makes me wonder what will happen to the applications and systems being built on top of LLMs? If we face limitations or setbacks, will these innovations survive, or could we see a backlash against all thinking machines, reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's cautionary tales?
- This is fantastic, the leaderboard is really nice! It reminds me of Paper Planes.
- On the B2B2C section, my mind immediately went to OAuth. For a developer like Bob giving his end users access to a service, wouldn't a standard OAuth flow where his users grant permission to his app would be the more conventional and secure solution?
It feels like that model handles key management, delegation, and revocation in a well-established way.
What am I missing here that makes this a better fit?
- On their Reddit post [0], the creator mentioned that it took them '600 prompts'!! I’d love to see how they managed to organize their prompts! This is actually impressively well done. I think what is holding it together is a good music and documentary-style background voice-over. There are so many uncanny stills in the video, but the well placed music makes you overlook that.

- Yeah, I had a similar frustrating time. Not a personal ban, but trying to help a friend verify their business for the WhatsApp API.
We followed the process twice, really carefully. Both times Facebook failed to verify the business. No clear reason why.
We posted everything on their developer forum hoping for help, but got nothing back. Just silence!! Many people were facing the same issue like us.
Ended up having to give up and tell my friend I couldn't help. Honestly, the fear of getting banned mysel if I kept pushing stopped me from trying it one more time.
these platforms are difficult to deal with when things go wrong.
