Also @j4ck.eth shipped his second mini app 

Using the qBuilder attestation to create a curated feed of casts

Want to share it? It looks great imo

I’m very interested in using interoperable attestations to recompose existing content 

Creates curated cozy corners

i did ship another mini app this week! (i am a designer, i don’t know how to code really, myspace fluency)

this app looks at /icebreaker qBuilder then pulls that feed together in this little baby dumpster client using /neynar 

i made it all w replit agent. good experiment!

• doesn’t handle recasts well
• want to add a buncha stuff
• proof of concept for me to play with

not time me out for 5 hours every 20 minutes lol

i like how it works through the problems, but i wish i had a better sense of what it was trying to do

i input detailed instructions, and you can watch the Progress tab, but it would be nice to know why / what it did / unpack that. it's amazing it can do it, and it's a great way to learn bc i'm actually trying to create an outcome of my own design vs a random tutorial goal

what do you wish replit agent could do for you that it can't right now?

work through the product proposal with claude or GPT first, and understand the technical architecture you want to use. 

basically build yourself a PRD (https://www.productplan.com/glossary/product-requirements-document/) that you can then yeet into replit

from the get-go you can say something like, "i want to build a react webapp that lets me do xyz. i want to use node.js, shadcn ui, and i will be using two APIs from icebreaker and neynar" - you can have gpt walk you through the steps so you are building that PRD fully then throwing it into replit

the biggest challenges i've hard are around like node package management - which i had no idea what that was - and use GPT as a tutor to ask more questions. replit is bad for asking questions. claude & gpt are great for asking questions

would you be interested if i made a video about what i'm doing?

Tips for another non-dev who wants to try creating a mini app like this?

That’s such a cool idea! Pulling a feed based on attestations. Will have to think more on this 🤔
