Thanks for the great work!

Even though I delegate more and more to coding agents I've stayed with Svelte(kit) for any project where I can choose. It's always been a breeze to work with coming from an Angular background and (imho) the average quality of the resulting code (quality of training samples I guess) is just better than with most other frameworks I've seen.

I totally agree with you bundle size and performance matter and I look forward to working with remote functions.

All this to say: Congrats on the release!

Just kicking off a subagent does this automatically...?

My main conversation is usually with an orchestrator that hands off work to various (usually cheaper) subagents to plan / review / etc. It has instructions to find the correct model for each task and not to do too much itself so a multi-phase plan automatically gets a fresh subagent for each phase.

Not OP but will definitely have a look.

I have some older projects that use beads (I still run an old version without dolt that's imho pretty good overall) but lately with Fable also have a few newer projects where I just have the agent write docs and keep a worklog with the what/why/decisions etc. (I think I read it here on HN somewhere and figured I'd give that a try.)

The latter seems to work pretty well for now (slightly better than beads) but I'm always looking for ways to improve it. This could be an interesting replacement.

I have a Claude Code hook that calls codex for a code review on commit time (Codex is set to Astra Medium) and it's been pretty good in general. It sometimes hits the 5hr limit but most of the time it provides really good feedback and because it's a completely different model it's mostly complementary to what Fable/Opus do themselves. IMHO it's been $20 well spent.

...but the few times I've tried to use codex for a moderately difficult task it burned through its limit extremely quickly.

Not OP but the way I read it...

Electrician: "Okay, so my services start at $100/hr"

<nobody bats an eye>

Electrician: "... for when my assistant can handle things."

Replace Electrician by whatever skilled professional you prefer.

Just taking one of your prompts and adding

> N.B. Make sure all the important information pops out (is visible at first glance) like an expert designer would, the information is more important than the design.

Already have me a much better result with the 'Arts & Crafts style', but N=1 so YMMV

I do recognize your use case and think it is a better solution than a WhatsApp status update. However (at least in my friend group) the friction of getting people to install yet another app is also very high.

Having said that, once there's an Android version too I'm definitely going to try if I can get a bunch of friends to try it.

Not the person who wrote that reply but their reply immediately clicked for me.

Here in Europe basically everyone uses WhatsApp. So you might as well just place a WhatsApp status update writing something like "We're doing X this afternoon? Wanna join? We'll leave from [location] at [time.]" and basically everybody in your contacts can see that update.

It's not perfect (different privacy model, a lot more people can see the update unless you have a very curated contacts list) but no friction of getting people to install another app.

Edit: Also no notification for status update, so slightly different model that could solve the same need.

If you don't care much for display quality (or are willing to pay significantly more than what you'd be paying for a TV) that's doable.

I've tried finding a monitor big enough and with a decent panel for anywhere near the price of a TV... it's nearly impossible.

Then I tried finding 'dumb TVs' with at least somewhat decent panels... also almost impossible.

In the end I just bought a decent Philips TV with a good panel and 'Android TV' and chose to never connect it to WiFi and activate that (run it in dumb mode.)

It had enough HDMI ports to hook up everything I want and was the best option available. Would I have preferred a 'dumb screen' with a bunch of HDMI ports and no TV tuner at all? Yes.

I feel so incredibly lucky I chose to overdo it a bit on RAM when I upgraded last year... though I remember deliberating to go for 192GB (it's 96GB now) but motherboard support was somewhat more complicated and it felt like a waste of 300 euros...

Not a diagram but the section on page 9 regarding who's considered the manufacturer is relevant here. For generic packaging that's the manufacturer of the packaging.

Under definitions (page 9) there's a big section > 6) Who is the ‘manufacturer’ of branded packaging? NEW! And it starts off this blurb: > According to the PPWR (Article 3(1), point (12)), if a packaging does not bear a name or trademark, the manufacturer will be the natural or legal person who manufactures packaging or packaged products. Seems pretty obvious to me the generic bubble envelope example from the blogpost doesn't make sense because that is generic packaging where the manufacturer has to handle this.

Edit: The farmer example is a bit bad imho because produce is not like the products in the blogpost and 'under its own trademark' applies to the product packaging (e.g. custom Apple carton frames etc.), best to focus on the more applicable sections imho.

Yeah, I remember seeing both kind of machines. IIRC For the competitive scene string setters were (are?) a no-go but we installed plenty string-setters on holiday parks because they're just more economical.

I remember some classmates interned working on new / different firmware for the machines you're talking about though. Fun project for an internship!

Back when I was in school I interned at a company installing bowling lanes / machines. Even back then it was fairly simple technology, no cameras or speed measurement yet, just some inputs from the machine as to what pin-cords had been pulled out (i.e. what pins fell down) translated to some simple animations. I remember the screens being just a simple VIA motherboard running DOS + their software from a compact flash card.

Sounds like a great project to work on given how cheap both hard- and software is becoming. Wishing you all the best!

N.b. The forces in the machines can easily break hardware so be sure to move it away from the machine if possible, and otherwise protect it appropriately.
