I also wanted a frictionless card creation experience, and I didn't want another (mobile) app for that. I'm only using SR for new vocabulary in a foreign language, so I created a multilingual AI-powered Telegram bot [1] that does

For the past couple of years, I've used LLMs for helping me creating flashcards -- and loved it. Initially, I built a very simple desktop tool that would send the LLMs output to a Google spreadsheet, from where Flashcards (an iOS app,

How I'm personally seeing it, the sole reason for burnout is doing stuff you're not enjoying, for too long. Then, the solution I'm trying to follow is to organize my life in such a way that I never feel the pressure of deadli

I'm working on a Telegram-based all-in-one personal life tracker. Apparently, Telegram bots provide functionality that allows creating UI resembling native apps, with the bonus of not having to install anything besides Telegram, as wel

For deployment I'm using Docker + Github CI + Digital Ocean basic droplets. Docker support is built into Phoenix, all you need is `mix phx.gen.release --docker`. What I like about it is that upgrading a DO host is basically a matter of

I would recommend reading these 2 books in parallel: Elixir in Action by Sasa Juric (one of my favorite programming books in general), and Programming Phoenix from PragProg. And before that, to wet your appetite and get a feel for the Erlan

That's a great idea!

Way slower and more cognitive overhead.

Thanks for taking time to comment, I'm realizing the message turned out vague. My main point was that, while I do set up on a year-long "journey", the specific techniques are not as important as handling motivation. "The

Good question, thanks! I do regularly hesitate on whether an article should be used or not. I suppose I need to read and write a lot during this year to get more comfortable with that.

From what I've seen so far, ChatGPT is surprisingly good at editing texts. Would love to hear an opinion from a native, though.
