i'd not heard of Slowly; googled, etc.

how sort of perversely lovely (i say it in an admiring manner), to meet in a gloriously old-fashioned manner on such a modern platform!

love it.

i would love to know more about this.

i live in the largest city on the west coast of the USA and the only stores i've found where i can press keyboards is Office Depot and the like, and at least in the stores that i have visited, they have not had mechanicals.

even when Frys was around, i don't remember them having keyboards out and about.

is it just me or was the scrollbar purposefully hidden on this site? in chrome on windows, i found it very jarring and user-hostile to NOT know how far along i was in reading the article.

i make a judgement call early on: is this worth my time? my whole article calculation algo was thrown off by this.

do not like.

this is exactly the same as people who drive their car into a river because google maps told them to.

i have been recently quite enamoured with using both the ChatGPT mobile app (specifically the Codex part) and the Github mobile app, along with Codex. with an appropriate workflow, i've been able to deploy features to some [simple] customer-facing apps while on the go. it's very liberating!

GP's setup sounds like the logical extension to what i'm doing. not just code, but sessions within servers? are sysadmins letting openclawd out and about on their boxes these days?

thank you for this reply! i've got 6x CASIO watches and have struggled to the time on them synced for over a decade. a quick [small] purchase later and every single one of my CASIOs are synced. i'm so happy. its the little things that matter. thanks again.

this is great, and right up my alley. i built a customer support chatbot using a google sheet for our CS folks to input & structure their question/answer pairs. that is auto xformed into markdown and fed into the bot for context. it works fairly well considering how simple it was to do. i'm really intrigued as to what promptrepo can add to that. will definitely give it some R&D time!
