Idea: Indian-American diner like Thai Diner or Golden Diner. Dosa, uttapam, pancakes and waffles. Indian omelettes and maggi. Vada with coffee

It's actually ridiculous how many times I've started a project with one front end framework and immediately had to move it to a different framework because the feature I needed didn't exist or wasn't mature enough

I remember in 2022 thinking that turborepo’s big go to rust port could probably be done a week or two with sufficiently smart AI tools. Crazy to see it pulled off now with arguably an order of magnitude bigger project ladybird.org/posts/adopting…
