I plan to document what it takes to build a ONCE-style product. It'll probably be a blog post (or a few). If you're curious, feel free to stay in touch - links are in my bio.
The app doesn’t phone home, for the exact reasons you mentioned. I also don’t want it to feel like you’re locked in a cage. I’m trying to build something I’d genuinely love to use, and ONCE gets a lot of that right.
Re: your ONCE-style project. That’s exciting! I wasn’t sure from your phrasing whether you’ve already started or are just about to. What does (or will) your project do?
As for licensing: I do have the ability to revoke a license, which means you wouldn’t get future updates. But of course, I can’t take back anything you’ve already downloaded (the code stays yours).
I haven't done any AI with Ruby, but from what I saw, the ecosystem is lacking support of good libraries.
Last month, I built a directory of web apps built with the Rails framework.
With Rails 8 released last year, the framework is stronger than ever. Some even say it’s experiencing a renaissance.
There are already 21 submissions, and if you use Rails, you’re welcome to add your app or website!
I am technically posting about a different quiz, though.
Copy-pasting code feels even more trivial. Writing a script requires some effort.
It feels unfair to people who are not tech-savvy.
Sharing something like this in private is being friendly to me and letting me know that this kind of stuff possible. Honestly, I knew it wasn't bullet-proof, but I simply didn't have the time and brain capacity to envision all of the possible attack vectors.
Sharing this in public is helping others ruin the experience easier.
