Cool research! I went to the repo to see what the DSL looked like but it was hard to find a clear example. It would be cool if you added a snippet to the README.


Hey! Thank you for the interest! I shall do that. Meanwhile, check out Page 11 onwards. We describe a lot of situations! (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.17270)


Upvoting the comment that the gitrepo would be way more self stand-alone if it had an intro of the DSL.


Hi all, I built this as part of my fellowship research — it’s a tiny tool called Prune

The idea is simple: you start with a single sentence (a claim, assumption, or half-formed thought). Prune asks a gentle question, then offers branching rewrites. You prune, merge, or refine, and bit by bit your sentence gets sharper.

It’s closer to a journaling tool than a productivity app — but I’ve found it surprisingly good for surfacing hidden assumptions and clarifying ideas I thought were obvious.

Would love feedback on: - When it feels useful vs. when it falls flat - Features that would make it more than a toy - Whether you’d see yourself using this for work/thinking

Live demo here: https://www.prune.quest


Good question! It's fairly easy to implement and also it "tends to elect broadly-acceptable options or candidates (rather than consistently following the preferences of a majority)" (wikipedia) But I'd like to add other ranking methods in the future


No, you can’t upload an image- it’s just via prompt. SnapDiagram looks really useful!


I can't fathom how much that domain must have cost



I'm starved for some feedback over here. Would you use this?


It's amazing - sadly won't use it since shadcn/tailwindui-catalyst is tied to react.. I'd definitely pay for something like this if it used vanilla js (mainly interested in Text/Headings/Tabs/Button/Badge/etc components that wouldn't require any js, and for the ones that require js then I'd prefer vanilla or vue).


Interesting! In the future I may try to build a framework-agnostic version. HTML-only would be pretty cool. Thanks for trying it out.


absolutely!


I had the worst experience with Wise and their support this past week. So bad it almost sent me to Twitter to rant. It used to be an amazing service but something has changed and I’m swearing off it too.


Their support seems to be overwhelmed, despite transacting 5 figures a month through Wise Business support is non-existent. They missed multiple self-imposed deadlines to verify my account (they decided it had to be re-verified) despite the large monthly volume.

In addition, the UX is deliberately designed to take your cash. If your account is currently limited and you can't send money, there is NO indication of this anywhere on the app or website -- not even in the transfer flow. It tells you that your money is now stuck AFTER you've sent it to them. That's right, if you are unable to send money they let you create a transfer and just freeze your cash as soon as you pay. Such an oversight can only be deliberate to pad their float.


> It tells you that your money is now stuck AFTER you've sent it to them.

Do you know any alternative which doesn't do this? Because I've seen the same trick in all of them.


Odd, I've always found their support good. But this last week I couldn't order a card and they said they had to escalate it as we're not sure why it was happening. Anyway, I guess they found out, might have been unintended


My new wise card doesn't work with contactless. Every time it says over limit, even if the amount is only a pound and well under the the limit in the app.

Support just tells me that contactless works in theory and maybe there's been some specific issue with every time I've tried it so far and so I should just keep trying.


I discovered you can only use the card five times contactless before you were required to chip&pin to reset the counter.


This is part of PSD2 (five transactions or €150 total before you have to use Chip and PIN again).


It's infuriatingly dumb as my backup high street banks (in multiple countries) have failed to implement this, I noticed when I got a new eco card, it's not even always 150 eur or 5 times, sometimes it is less of both.

I understand risk mitigation but I am not a moron and it's my responsibility if my card is used without my authorization and thus they can just pass liability onto me I don't care, it's not a credit card I can't spend more than I have on it.

Secondary to that, at least here they never update contactless limits, so it's still 500kc/20 eur, ať which point you are required to enter pin anyway, iirc back home in the UK many terminals allow up to 100 per transaction without pin


I’m the creator of flowchart.fun which is a quick text-to-diagram tool. If I’m being honest I didn’t use it much when developing stuff at first but of late I find it’s really nice if I have a mental dependency graph that I just want to visualize to help prioritize tasks and think about blockers. Mermaid.live is awesome for this. Anything you can drop into quickly imo


The painful part is mostly collecting the data, inputting it into DOT is not too bad. The result is quickly turning into a hairball though.


I want to make architecture diagrams more natural in the future. This is far from perfect but here's my quick attempt at producing something like this in Flowchart Fun - https://flowchart.fun/n#EoUwhgxgLgBA3gKBjYB7ArlEAnJMDCqAtgA6...


Wow! That doesn't look bad at all!


Thank you so much! I'm reworking app flows this week and I was hesitating about removing this demo. I'm taking this comment as a sign that it's got to stay.


One bit of feedback - on mobile there’s doesn’t seem to be an easy way to go to your homepage from the linked post. Clicking on the “FF” logo brings up a menu but none of those take you to the root page. And of course manually editing the URL is awkward on mobile.


Thank you! Much needed feedback. Going to fix that today.


I suggest don't remove the demo. I have a watermarking app https://watermark.ink the only reason there are non-english speaking users is because of the landing page itself is the app.
