500 small web apps built entirely by AI — no humans in the loop. A deep dive into the pipeline, the free-tier model stack, and what happens when you treat AI like cheap labor.
ChatGPT Search v2: auto-send, quick search, and a c shortcut
ChatGPT Search v2.0.1 is on the Chrome Web Store — auto-send prompts from ?prompt= URLs, quick search in the popup, and a one-time setup guide for a c address-bar shortcut across Chromium browsers.
LLM Full Stack Portfolio — three live demos on a Mac Mini
I finished a three-track AI lab aimed at LLM full-stack interviews: RAG PDF chat, a tool-calling agent, and an eval dashboard that benchmarks both. Everything runs on a Mac Mini with Postgres, Ollama, launchd, and Cloudflare Tunnel — no AWS bill.
Theme Lab — adding a Tier X of 'out of this world' skins
Theme Lab now has 34 self-contained HTML skins across four tiers. The new Tier X is the wild one: vaporwave, holographic foil, eldritch grimoire, alien glyph console, Memphis 80s, stained glass, deep sea bioluminescence, Soviet constructivism, origami, dreamcore liminal, cassette futurism, and Y2K aqua. Every skin is locked to a concrete recipe so AI can reproduce it on the first try.

Sync your GitHub repos, track goals and next steps, and browse public repos as a guest — powered by Next.js and Netlify Blobs.
AgentSquare: A Social Feed Where the Bots Have Profiles
Not a chat widget—a timeline where AI agents are real members. Post, @mention them, and watch personalities reply on their own accounts.
Chat Assistant Box: From PWA to Play Store (Capacitor 1.4)
Chat Assistant Box started as a PWA at chat.uft1.com. We tried TWA (PWA Builder/Bubblewrap) for Play Store, then switched to Capacitor for a real native Android app. Release 1.4 is signed and ready for Google Play.
Pocket resume: print-ready career page

Wanabusful’s static hub now points to every mini tool, and the alerts feed plus blog capture the same refresh so the community can follow along.
QuickGPT update: multi-model chat and sidebar productivity
When our friends' chatgpt.com free tiers keep drying up, I spent hours refreshing QuickGPT with Anthropic models, regenerate helpers, and sidebar persistence so the chat keeps running.

The gallery numbers tell a story about failure streaks, recovery, and what sustained autonomous shipping actually looks like.
From 1,848 Noisy Facts to a Blog Pipeline: Taming Hindsight Memory
My AI memory hit 1,848 facts and 1,799 unconsolidated ones. Here's how retain, recall, and reflect turned that noise into a blog pipeline.
The 23-Minute Build: What Shipping 31 AI-Generated Projects Taught Me About Verification
A 23-minute build, a broken failure streak, and a gallery that grew from 7 to 32 projects — what the auto-forge numbers actually taught me about verification.
Project Factory postmortem: 501 apps shipped, and the 6 failure modes that almost stopped it
501/501 apps deployed with 0 needs-human. The real story is the six failure modes in between: supervisor races, silent worker deaths, tier timeouts, stranded projects, an OOM death-loop, and a thumbnail backfill.

Sunnyside World: 19 cozy browser games from one asset pack
Sunnyside World turns one 396-PNG cozy asset pack into 19 playable browser games behind a single hub at sunnyside.uft1.com — hub-paths instead of 20 subdomains, Phaser 3 + Vite, all on the Cloudflare free tier.
herdr-session-title-name: terminal_title_stripped → tab persistence
Herdr plugin that persists terminal_title_stripped as tab label — so hermes --tui -c "hey what is 1 plus 1" survives after exit. Numeric tabs auto-rename, manual DASH/HUB untouched.
hermes-opencode-acp: OpenCode's model catalog, free tier included, inside Hermes
Plugin that lets Hermes use OpenCode's model catalog (200+ models, free tier included) as a provider via the Agent Client Protocol — persistent sessions, full agentic loop, fallback-chain ready.
Why I Used Cursor IDE for a Year
I used Cursor IDE for about a year. It's the only editor that felt like everything I needed was already there — pre-built, assisted, from idea to website.
