Just want to say the interactive widgets being actually hooked up to an LLM was very fun.
To continue bashing on gmail/gemini, the worst offender in my opinion is the giant "Summarize this email" button, sitting on top of a one-liner email like "Got it, thanks". How much more can you possibly summarize that email?
Thank you! @LewisJEllis and I wrote a little framework for "vibe writing" that allows for writing in markdown and adding vibe-coded react components. It's a lot of fun to use!
Can we all quickly move to a point in time where vibe-code is not a word
I kinda appreciate the fact that vibe as a word is usually a good signal I have no interest in the adjacent content.

What would be better? AI-hack? Claude-bodge? I agree that it's a cringey term but cringey work deserves a cringey term right?
My websites have this too with MDX, it's awesome. Reminds me of the old Bret Victor interactive tutorials back around when YC Research was funding HCI experiments
MDX is awesome. Incredibly convenient tooling.

Very nice example of an actually usefully interactive essay.
It is indeed a working demo, hitting
in the OpenAI API format, and it responds to any prompt without filtering. Free tokens, anyone?
More seriously, I think the reason companies don't want to expose the system prompt is because they want to keep some of the magic alive. Once most people understand that the universal interface to AI is text prompts, then all that will remain is the models themselves.
That's right. llm.koomen.dev is a cloudflare worker that forwards requests to openai. I was a little worried about getting DDOSed but so far that hasn't been an issue, and the tokens are ridiculously cheap.
Blog author seems smart (despite questionable ideas about how much real world users would want to interact with any of his elaborate feature concepts), you hope he's actually just got a bunch of responses cached and you're getting a random one each time from that endpoint... and that freely sent content doesn't actually hit OpenAI's APIs.
I tested it with some prompts, it does answer properly. My guess is it just forwards the queries with a key with a cap, and when the cap is reached it will stop responding...
It's like the memes where people in the future will just grunt and gesticulate at the computer instead.
Loved those! How are those created?
I used that button in Outlook once and the summary was longer than the original email
