You already have this problem whenever you are using a library in any programming language. Unless you are extremely strict, vendor it and read line by line what the library does, you are just trusting that the code that you are using works.

And nothing is stopping the AI from making the unreadable mess more readable in later iterations. It can make it pass the spec first and make it cleaner later. Just like we do!


I think you missed the point. This was about whether proven-correct-but-unmaintainable-by-a-human is preferable over maintainable-but-not-proven-correct. I argued that no, it is not. If you change the two options at hand, then of course the outcome can be different.


While I like the modern feel of shadcn/ui and derivatives, I still think that daisyui is much easier to use.

You really just paste these 2 lines in your html and that's it:

  <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4" />
it's a bit more than 100kb of js, but for prototyping it is very nice.

I wish more UI libraries where in the same style. You can always optimize the bundle later.


Thanks for the kind feedback! I totally get the appeal of daisyUI – super quick to drop in and great for prototyping.

With TemplUI, I’m aiming for a more minimal, dependency-free setup – no extra Tailwind plugins or runtime JS unless absolutely needed. The idea is to stay as close to the metal as possible and let devs build their own design system on top, rather than fight against a pre-styled one.

It's less “drop-in UI kit” and more “starter kit to build your own.” That makes it more customizable and hopefully a better fit for projects that want full control.


Did you check the co2 levels on your office? that could be one reason.


For several years in a row, I was living every day suffering from severe sleep deprivation. I was not merely homeless, but living on the streets, and I became really intent on walking around all night, rather than trespass or sit down for a rest, in someplace where I didn't belong. Or I would sit in the IHOP, and drink 2 pots of coffee and stare, zombie-like, until the Sun rose. So I lost a lot of sleep and I dozed whenever possible, and not in a bed, but often seated at a table, with my arms folded, and my face buried in those folded arms, while others made chit-chat and the music played around me.

Well, I'd get into an enclosed space with lots of people, and I'd begin to pass out. It happened a lot in church. We'd be singing and standing and sitting and kneeling, and I'd be just ready to conk out and go to sleep. And I would do crazy things like, lunging for the thermostat because it felt so warm and close in there. I thought everyone was feeling the same stale, stuffy air as I was. I don't know. It would also happen in the coffeehouses, but sleep was guaranteed to overcome me during liturgies.

But I came to believe that it was a CO2 buildup sort of situation. With a lot of human bodies in a closed space, and we were all vocalizing for an hour or so, and it was winter so perhaps the heat was on, or the air conditioning was turned off. And so CO2 buildups were the most likely thing.

Once I was housed, and able to catch up on sleep, it doesn't happen anymore. I did complain to my doctor and I asked him if I may have COPD. He insisted that I breathed better than he did. He brought in two young Medical Assistant ladies to do this breathing exercise so that he could prove there's nothing wrong with me. Of course we didn't get to that point of discussing sleep deprivation, because you can't medicate that. Well, a psychiatrist could try, with extra-drowsy meds. And they did try. I resented that.


This is really valuable information. Thank you.


Unrelated, but PGroonga reads funny in Argentinian. Better than gimp though


I read your comment with El Bananero's voice and now I can't stop laughing xD


Genuine question, more for soloentrepreneurs, but what if instead of adding ads from other companies, the perplexity company did other paid products?

Then they could put a few non disruptive ads for those into their main free product, and they would make much more sense.

I want to apply this strategy into my (yet non existent) future products.


http streaming is even more underrated.


not for non latin american speakers.


oh god


'dont' was implied, though apparently not inferred


nice and everything, but it still has plenty of performance issues and crashes with the tsserver. Using solid start because of that, tooling is not there yet.


It's even worse, you still need node to run this thing, so you don't avoid the node dependency.
