I just published "Out of Writing Ideas? Don’t Ask ChatGPT, Ask Yourself"
An article about finding writing ideas without AI.
A follow-up to my 2K-claps framework, because a framework is useless if you have nothing to feed it.

Wanna take back the reins of your writing? Force yourself to write.
No goals, just pour out whatever is on your mind. Your brain will thank you.
I explain that in my article: How I Write Articles Without AI: My Framework for a 100% Human Content medium.com/p/how-i-write-art…

I set this up at 4am and spent an hour just talking to it.
It's called Open-LLM-VTuber. You get a Live2D animated AI companion that runs completely offline, sees your screen, hears your voice, and never forgets your conversations.
The voice interruption system is different from anything I've seen. The AI cannot hear its own TTS output so there is zero feedback loop and zero awkward pauses. It feels like a real conversation.
The inner thoughts feature floored me. You see what the AI is thinking as a separate text layer that never gets spoken. You watch the reasoning happen in real time before the words come out.
Pet mode puts the avatar on your desktop as a transparent overlay that floats above every window without blocking anything. Drag it anywhere. It follows you.
The persona is entirely yours. Import any Live2D model. Write any system prompt. Clone any voice. Swap the entire LLM backend from Ollama to Claude to DeepSeek in a single config line.
100,000+ conversations have already happened inside this repo according to the user reviews.
That number is going to keep moving.

What would you use this for... co-working, learning, coding, or just chaos?

Bon les mistraliens, on va voir ce que vous avez dans le bide.
Moi j'y vais : modèles locaux, abo, API → je teste tout et je vous raconterai.
Je vous encourage à faire pareil. Sérieusement. Faut les exciter un peu les copains, leur montrer qu'il y a de la demande.
Ils sont capables de rattraper le tir plus vite qu'on ne le pense → les fondations sont là, on l'a déjà vu dans l'analyse de leur BM.
C'est pas parce qu'ils sont focus B2B qu'il faut pas y prêter attention. C'est l'inverse.
Et un abonné m'a rappelé un truc : le free tier API Mistral (La Plateforme, plan Experiment) c'est 1 milliard de tokens par mois.
En clair → de quoi faire tourner un bot, un prototype, ou expérimenter pendant des mois. Sans CB. Sans limite de temps.
Oui, par défaut tes données peuvent servir à l'entraînement. Mais tu peux opt-out en un clic dans la console. C'est un choix, pas une condition.
Chez OpenAI ? Le free tier n'existe QUE si tu acceptes de partager tes données. Pas de partage = tu paies.
Google API Gemini ? Quotas gratuits divisés par 3 à 5 fin 2025. Max 1 000 req/jour.
Mistral API ? ~16 000 req/jour en rythme soutenu. Gratuit.
1 milliard de tokens/mois. Opt-out possible. Gratis.
Partagez, parlez-en autour de vous. Faut les secouer un peu et leur montrer qu'on est là.

72% connection acceptance rate. 56% reply rate.33 calls booked in 10 days.
Ater 3 months of testing, we cracked the code.
We built the ULTIMATE workflow for LinkedIn outreach (100% automated)

I renamed the app to ScribTrack. It's better for SEO and actually describes what it does.
Also working on landing page (still in progress) and the writing prompts system.
That's a lot of parallel works but that's how the pieces align 😉

i'm convinced the most interesting software of the next 5 years won't come from engineers
it'll come from designers and artists who finally have the tools to ship
the creative artisan arc is here. still early.
new project with @anthropicai on @claudeai 🧡
Just wrapped Week 2 on my writing-motivation app.
Converted designs → Next.js web app✅
Supabase auth + persistence✅
Smart onboarding that learns your writing style✅
Now the real work begins: finding the angle that makes Mirinkl different from the English-only competition
Thanks to Gemini 3 + Veo 3.1, I was able to animate my mascot while preserving its soft, watercolor style.
A few animations like these will be very useful for making onboarding fun and adding more life to certain parts of the app.
I made a mistake with Mirinkl: I asked ChatGPT to list competing apps.
The result? An incomplete list.
While browsing the App Store, I discovered similar apps... all in English only.
Multilingual support + motivational tracking: that's where Mirinkl stands out 🧐

A must-bookmark for vibe-coders.
@YCombinator’s guide to making the most of vibe coding:
Started implementing authentication with supabase auth.
Every time I implement some authentication things I remember back at some few years ago the pain it was. Now everything can be wrapped up in minutes.
Damn Cursor Opus 4.5 is so good at it!
