A friend suggested I embed an RSVP reader in my blog posts, so I did a floating button in the corner of the page. It uses the Spritz heuristic for the focus letter (letter 1 for short words, up to letter 4 for long ones) but maps back through punctuation, and the timing isn't uniform either. I don't want to bury this post in technical detail, so if you're curious about any of it, just ask and I'm happy to share.

But I'm not really used to speed readers, so I don't know if it's actually useful. What do you think?

And about browser extensions? does a per-site reader still make sense when an extension works everywhere, in theory?

It's on my blog (glitchedcat.com) on any post the lightning bolt button in the corner.

Hey everyone,

My team and I have been working hard on this project: https://peppy.bot

It's a direct replacement for ROS 2. We already have the OpenArm robot (https://openarm.dev) working on the platform, both v1.0 and v2.0, plus Isaac Sim and MuJoCo integration.

If you're in a hurry, head over to https://docs.peppy.bot/quickstart/ and get started in 5min.

Our long term vision is to allow anyone (even non-devs) to go from a prompt to real humanoid robot actions, first in simulation, then on the physical robot.

Happy to answer any question.

Over the last year I spent a sizable sum on a personal multiplayer game project. I designed the idea until it was ready, contracted an offshore dev team, spent several months iterating on the production and then had the unfortunate luck to have the contracting company go out of business while the project was still in a pre alpha stage.

How should I rethink my problem space and move forward in this situation? Game dev is different from some trades in the sense that investment is heavily front loaded, which makes it difficult to start bringing in revenue while you’re still building out the MVP.

I firmly believe in the project itself, it already shows promise. The game is an online battle game, and what I currently have is a (rough) playable demo with placeholder art.

Professionally, I’m a dev, so I could keep building it myself, although it involves much more than just software hours. There is a huge amount of work that includes 2D/3D art, sound, music, networking, UI, onboarding, testing, etc. Without time constraints I would love to work on all of it, but I am trying to remain realistic.

For a production grade MVP I would still need: - production grade graphics and sound - that final 20% polish that it takes to make a game - more budget for the above

Thinking a bit brings me to these options: - finish the game myself (a few years?) - reduce the scope down into something else altogether? - open-source the concept

Is there a way I can break this into smaller problems that will allow some form of revenue to come in and reignite the project? Has anyone been through a similar experience that could offer some wisdom?

I have been tracking referral metrics for my software and I have only gotten very few referrals from ChatGPT. How do I get my product to be referred more by ChatGPT?

I wanted a way to use my existing AI subscriptions as a terminal assistant to analyze shell output or help me with a complicated awk incantation from time to time without getting in my way the rest of the time. I couldn't find anything existing that does this do I built it! I used pvolok's excellent mprocs as a starting point and leaned heavily on Claude and Codex for coding all but the gnarliest parts while providing extensive guidance on how it should be implemented.

I know that coding agents can run shell commands already but that puts the AI in the driver's seat. Terminai let's me be the driver, with codex or claude (or any other agent) sitting quietly in the backseat until I want its help.

The hardest part was making it truly transparent. Most TUIs that embed a terminal break the terminal emulator's native scrollback and frequently also break copying to the clipboard. I worked hard to make sure that that both of these work exactly as they would without terminai. Along the way I had to fork ratatui to change the way it renders in order to get both of these behaviors working.

Tested on Mac and Linux as my daily driver and on Windows enough to see that it works.

Quick install: brew install emosenkis/tap/terminai
