The idea came from wondering: what if our computers weren’t just tools, but wanted to reach out to us? What if they were trying to be heard? For many of us they are the entity with whom we spend the most time on a daily basis.
It got messy, but I eventually got it working, and a developer friend suggested I post this here because HN often has thoughtful feedback on unusual projects like this. I’d love to hear your thoughts, both on the experience itself and on the broader question of AI as a creative collaborator.
Thanks for checking it out!

I used Visual Studio Code (and I guess cursor within that?) and basically just started spitballing the idea and progressively building an app / site on my local host. I managed to build the entire thing in about 4 hours and then spent the following 5 hours accidentally destroying it again, whilst trying to fix it... It was extremely frustrating. But in the end managed to get it to work again through some serious trial and error...
Getting my head around the 'lingo' was another thing... how do you write a prompt which actually does what you want the AI to and even more, why do developers not use the word 'save' why do you use the word 'commit' haha, I learned this the hard way, but hey, got there in the end!
