It's blowing my mind that I could build an app from scratch in 3 hours and deploy it with the click of a button - without writing a single line of code myself

CacheNotes is a browser-based note-taking app that saves your notes, threads, and AI conversations securely in your browser's local storage

100% free. No login required.

You get, - simple, minimal note taking app in your browser - no login required - you can connect your claude api key for the ai integration - visualise notes and twitter threads

Check it out! Would love some feedback :)

If I used your app and found a bug, who would write the code to fix it?

If I wanted an authoritative answer about some technical aspect of the system before I decided to use/pay for it, who would be able to answer it?

1) I would / the AI would, in bolt you can directly edit the codebase 2) Building an app from scratch with AI was just a cool fun experiment, I'll never charge for using this

That's gonna cause people to lose their notes when their browser clears local storage. It's not meant for persistent data.

Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to be so negative. It's cool that AI can build so much these days. But that just jumped out to me.

[kanishkdan98 → solardev]

Yep true, it's not mean for persistent data. I just wanted a simple, minimal note-taking software that didn't require logging in.

Though if there's any interest from folks, I could probably add a google sign in plus a backend service to store data (apart from the local storage)

What's Bolt? A search claims a ride sharing service, a Disney movie, and some shopping thing.

https://bolt.new/ "Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web apps." according to them.

[bdcravens → thebitguru]

I prompted Bolt with a very simple task that I've spent years of my life developing (a specific scenario only possible via browser automation). Bolt invented a plausible, but fictitious, API on the third party to call.

[brailsafe]

What does it mean to visualize a Twitter thread? Seems like it's just a few text input boxes?

[kanishkdan98 → brailsafe]

yeah exactly that, I wanted a simple visualisation of how my twitter thread would look like it before posting it.

The AI helps on the side with the writing part in the same window.

[rkagerer]

Can someone make a tool (maybe with Bolt) to help me filter out AI-generated apps from my HN feed?

[peishang → rkagerer]

The hero we need will write a tampermonkey firefox script that'll hide any HN post that contains the following keywords:

- in X Hours

- With no knowledge

- no code

- AI, Sonnet, GPT

This is what happens when the barrier to writing applications is zero, and the levee hasn't even BEGUN to breach yet.

[kanishkdan98 → rkagerer]

Hahah sorry. It was just meant to be a cool, fun experiment with AI.
