Now that I’ve got the Chronicle program on GitHub ready for testing, I’m kind of at a loss as to how to get exposure for it.
The thing that makes me nervous above all is that even if I found a place where I could sort of put it out there, if people found out it was vibe coded, they might just tell me to fuck off.
It's one of those really divisive things and I kind of see it from both sides but it's a complication that I don't want to have to deal with.
I basically just want as many people to test and tell me what they think of it.
Donations would be an absolute fucking bonus!
I'm just kind of at a bit of a loss.
This is the link to it for what it's worth.

@TheVoiceGuy Tell the story. Explain what you were trying to get access to, the problems you were having and the improvements you were hoping you could make. Explain that although you're not a developer, spending a ton of time trying and testing and trying over again has resulted in a neat thing that's doing what you need, so now you're sharing what you've made, hoping it'll be useful to other people. Hoping, not promising. There's nothing other than a slither of time to lose by trying it out. You'd like to hear how that goes and you're open to suggestions. That's open to hearing them, not promising to implement them. Anyone who wants to poo-poo that narrative can knock themselves out with their own dickswing.

@Scott You are the second person to suggest this and I’m working on this now.
I've even put a section on the repo about it but totally, why didn't I think of telling the story before? Stories are Everything.

@TheVoiceGuy In my book, so long as you're not pretending to be more knowledgeable/ pretending to have more experience than you really do around software development, I wouldn't have any reason to knock what you've been doing. Could a seasoned developer get to a similar result quicker and cheaper? Probably. One of those didn't show up and start plugging away at the problem though. You did. That's a good thing. It wouldn't exist if you hadn't shown up and tried.

@Scott Thank you for your words.
I can say with absolute confidence that my knowledge of computer code is almost nonexistence.
I prompted, I sculpted, I put my rambling ideas into prompts for things like Codex to use and told exactly what I wanted and it did the coding.
I tested, I found problems, I tested, I died a little inside, I screamed at the world, I screamed at myself, I threatened the AI tools with incredible acts of harm at one time or another if they didn’t do what I wanted or if they hallucinated.
