super cool teardown

happens to the best of us

Still feels a bit technical. The Claude approach is designed for "Susan in Accounting" - what thoughts do you have to reduce the technical barriers?

Yeah it is still too technical.

First obvious stuff like getting the dmg notarized having easier install.

Then after it will be about optimizing onboarding. One of the core goals is to help Susan do 1 small task in under 5 min.

To do that we will need to: - have some prepackaged configs for folks like starter template - ship opencode within the app itself so users don't need to manually install it - and get rid of the technical jargon that is cluttered in the app.

I wonder if most "Susan in Accounting" even know what Claude is. They then have to know to get Claude desktop, get the max plan in order to get Cowork. Most people live on the cloud, so they'll need to get the Claude browser plugin as well to integrate with Cowork.

I'm curious to see if Anthropic can actually win over these non-technical folks as there's still quite a few hurdles for them to get over.

can you explain a bit about how you're using the dub api?

sure! Here's how we used the Dub TypeScript SDK for this project:

1. Creating/editing links – dub.links.create and dub.links.update: https://git.new/UrBg1z5

2. Fetching the time-series analytics for a given link – http://dub.analytics.timeseries: https://git.new/Rkio6cN

LMK if you have any questions/feedback about the SDK: https://git.new/sdk

we're still working out some issues with our own managed hosting. will have draft docs in the next couple of weeks. It will require a VPS at a host that allows port 25 to be opened.

Oh, theres also a short video on our website if you prefer to watch tl;drs of products

been a loom user for a long time, this looks very promising

do you plan to add editing features?

100%! Editing is next in line after the first public release.

Been following for a while, really amazed at the rate of development, and some nice handy features too!

Excited for the continued growth

Thanks :)

Let me know if you have any questions and if you're a developer, how you feel about deeper integrations with your tech stack / apps.

Yeah, McAdam, the dev pace is amazing!

Love Algora!

Amazing both as a repo owner, but also as someone who has urgent issues in other repos.

The fact that you can add bounties to any issue on github is spectacular.

https://algora.io/bounties/new creating bounties on other people's repositories is super neat indeed! however it's also tricky and we didn't get it right the first time.

these 'community bounties' are now by default shared privately with the maintainers only, and maintainers can decide to complete the bounties themselves, share them with the contributors, or discard them. That way community bounties are never intrusive to maintainers' time, roadmap & governance while also acting as a sponsorship if accepted

I like how bounties added by different people get pooled on the same issue!
