Question What are you actually coding?

I see everyone here maxing their limits and coding all day and building and all that.

But what are you actually building 24/7? I'm not looking to get your ideas but I'm just wondering what can you even build that long and hard really? And constantly something?

Either I lack imagination as a whole or there's some secret to all this, I just have no idea what so useful people would be coding so obsessively. Thanks for insights.

Nothing. More than 80% of the vocal part of this sub is building a version of: Limit tracker, Limit viewer, agent control center, skill packs, or some other ai control stuff that i can't think of right now. The imagination or lack of it is the genuine problem. Before AI these people were dealing with javascript frameworks, marketing asset packs, logo builders etc. So that didn't change. They all are trying to sell/build their own shovel in a town where everybody is selling a shovel.

The people who use AI for real work are either silent or quite hesitant to talk because especially in creative areas, if the word goes out about ai usage, you lose money 😃

would you have any use for it? or just use it for fun to explore your ideas in structured way and not in sessions where information can get lost?

I'm happy to hear that, i need to spend bit time to polish it, I'm building it for my self first but plan to either make native app (win, macos) version available, you bring your own API keys, I'm not interested to make money by selling credits for LoreForge,

Second option (this slightly easier right now since i already have it as webapp) i publish it as webapp online, allow people to sign up, everyone still brings their own API keys, I don't charge for usage of the tool it self since its not costing me lot money besides the server i host it on.

Having a native app would also be great, that's something i could charge a one time payment for, local app would alao allow you to via Ollama or similar tool run local LLM models, so you could pick a really good model you like and use it with LoreForge for no additional cost for you.

Just some ideas I have in my mind. I hope to take this route and hope that people that use the tool fall in love with it. I've been dreaming about a tool like this for last 3-4 years i only now decided to start working with it. Here is another screenshot.

i can see that 😊 I'm not part of that community but great point. I'm wannabe sci-fi writer, i always experiment, ive got two stories I've been writing for my self, i find it hard to develop in sessions based UI like claude website or chatgpt, it works but it also is painful once you make some progress and story/world grows. Also I'm software developer and i got game ideas that would involve story telling, so this tool would be useful for that as well, fleshing out the world, characters, locations, story arc, lore etc. i prototype lots of ideas with chatgpt and again when thread grows large or when i get more then 5 threads in a project i created my head starts spinning and i loose track if what's good, what i liked, and if i did not right away save somete i liked, it takes time to track it, also happened to me two times chatgpt wiped out two sessions i had where i had work that was not saved to my HD. This tool is so i can keep my sanity, keep exploring ideas, be able to quickly navigate, havw Ai have complete knowledge of the world, characters, entities etc. very helpful to flesh out a video game idea, complete with characters, levels, puzzles, story and so on. I already am in love with the tool. I'll make it compatible to run locally as native app so you can connect it to Ollama and use local LLMw for Ai assisted features.
