Skip the Dashboard

The era of data vomiting robots is plateauing.

Typing like an MC is exhausting.

There are so many tools out there to plan your day!

Take a moment to forgive your pet robot and plan a personal hackathon. That is what I did! A day of mindfulness can take the edge off.

Put things into Motion by planning out your hackathon and grabbing a good cup of coffee or hot chocolate!

The task? We are racing against our companions and trying to stretch the $5 "investment" because Wordpress is too expensive.

What can be done?

Pull out all your favorite frameworks and libraries. Be mindful of your AI assistant and give them a break.

Respect how blazingly fast GPTs are.

Skip the todo app. Skip the breadcrumbs. Skip the navigation.

Skip the database. Skip the cloud functions. Skip the containers.

Zen mode begins with a blank page.

We need a prompt.

Start with a simple command pattern:

const commands = { 'manage:posts': { 'label': 'Go to posts', 'action': ['navigate', 'https://example.com/posts'] }, 'post:edit:1': { 'label': 'Hello world', 'action': ['navigate', 'https://example.com/posts/1/edit'] }, } 

From there, add the binds.

const open = false; useChord(['cmd+k'],() => { open = true; ]) useChord(['cmd+k', 'cmd+w'], () => { open = false; }) ... 

I wanted a search feature so I bootstrapped a combobox:

<ComboBox :items="commands" onSelected="executeCommand" /> 

The perfect navigation features will have to wait.

Zod validates my strongly typed form data.

Add a new key bind to save the form.

const schema = z.object({ thePost: z.string().min(1), }) const form = useForm({schema})) useChord(['cmd+s'], () => { form.submit('https://sayless.gg') }) 

My prompt includes a simple markdown parsing command that uploads my markdown to the cloud. How long were you in zen mode?
