Everything is local, no database; File > App!https://t.co/eDOLWhsQcP pic.twitter.com/PWciJOtfqw
Kanji Vault (2024-12-19)
- Maps kanji by their building blocks (radicals) instead of random lists

🧑💻 GPT-Lang (2023-03-24)
Built a compiler to turn natural language into JavaScript.
— Alex Weichart (@AlexWeichart) March 24, 2023
It works like a normal compiler, except that it uses GPT-4 to translate parts of the abstract syntax tree into code.
Meaning, it's possible to build module support, build caching etc. on top of it. pic.twitter.com/EJSxQMFTi9
