found a cool new tool called aider and used the idea of this website partly as an excuse to play around with it

closest thing i've experienced so far to programming in natural language. still definitely helps to have an understanding of what you're doing and what it's outputting. i built this on nextjs+tailwind and the ability of this thing to knock out all the boilerplate files/project structure and tailwind styling is pretty insane

here's the latest snippet from my terminal:

so far to implement all the initial/basic functionality i wanted out of this it's only cost me the $5 in anthropic api fees that i got for free on signing up
