Spent way too long letting my agent scrape pages and parse them on the fly. it kinda worked but most of the context window got eaten by nav bars and cookie banners before it even hit the actual data.

switched to pulling structured results instead. just clean markdown or JSON with the fields the agent actually needs. same task, way less tokens, fewer hallucinations cause the model isnt trying to dig thru noise.

been using AnySearch for this lately (it routes across data sources and gives back compact output instead of a page dump) but the idea works regardless of tool. if your agent is reading raw html youre just paying for noise.

realized the search layer should return stuff the agent can act on. not a whole doc it has to figure out first.

posting more about this agent search stuff over at r/AnySearchAI if youre dealing with similar headaches.

Tried Lovable last week for a small client portal. Demo out in an afternoon, first build looked solid.

needed two user types with different permissions, plus a database where each person only sees their own stuff. that is where I stopped trusting the demo and started testing what the app actually returned, not just what the screen showed.

I'm non-technical, so hand-wiring Supabase is rough. not impossible, just the kind of rough where one wrong assumption turns into a data leak later.

ive been looking at Enter because the docs talk about auth, database, functions, source export, and other post-demo pieces sitting closer to the builder. not calling it solved. i mostly want to see whether the user-data safety checks are easier to inspect before I ship anything.

don't have a week to hand-wire Supabase from scratch. if you actually shipped this on an AI builder, what was the path?

I was chatting with some friends from different backgrounds, and it got me thinking about how differently periods are viewed across religions and cultures.

For example:
My Muslim friend told me that when they’re on their period, they don’t go to the masjid. During Ramadan, they also don’t fast and make up those missed fasts (qada’) later.

My Taoist (Malaysian Chinese) friend said they’re not supposed to go near the altar/prayer area or participate in prayers during the Nine Emperor Gods Festival while on their period.

I found it really interesting how these practices differ, and I’d love to learn more 😅

Honestly so curious because I want to know what are the pantangs here for locals.

Anyway, my first reaction when I first got my period was definitely being irritated and a bit of relief that i finally got my period. But it was meh

I am quite curious to know hahaha because all I heard from my friends were the same as my experience.

Not really rattled but was a bit shocked and mostly irritated when we got our first periods lol.

Edit: I’m having fun reading all your comments, girliess!!🫶

Alsooo, what are some superstitions from your country? I wanna hear them lol

As what the title says…intern nako ron. Startup pa hinoon ning amoang kompanya. Admin ko nga all rounder kay labot sad ko sa pag handle sa socmed namo. Karon kay gnhan man akong amo nako, pero naunsa mani ron nga nagkadugay ba, nagka anam anam sad ug ka papas akong creative juices. Lisod sad jud mag huna2 ug icontent na dala marketing ba kay di man ko parehas ug humor sa taga diri 😓

Nagkastoryahanay mi sa akng igsuon bahin sa panghitabo ron sa Pinas. Kay arang gubota man jud bitaw. Unya naabot mn na anang pag botar-botar. Hing ingun cya nko nga wa gud daw siya ga botar pag milabay nga duha ka eleksyon tungod OFW cya and wa cyay ikagasto adto sa embassy sa amoang nahimutangan ron para mo botar.

Isip manghud niya, nalain ko kay ang pag botar usa na ka katungod nato nga mopili ug angay nga kandidato nga moserbisyo nato. Di lang sa present pero para sad sa future generations ba. Naunsa maning ning sulti man cya nga unsa man daw mabuhat niya nga ang modaugay kay ang kana laging lanog kaayog ngan ron sa mga balita.

Tas pina mocking tone pa nga ga hilak iyang amiga atong pagka daog ni Baby M. Wa ko kasabot nganong need pa mag mock. Ug wa ka nauyon na imong amiga naghilak di lang kay sa iyang kaugalingon kun dili tungods kaugmaon sa daghang Pinoy, paghilom. Kahibaw kong igsuon ko niya pero arang isaha sa akong kilay naminaw niya. Galain gyud akong buot kay iyang mindset very pessimistic sa gobyerno sa Pinas.

Ngano sad daw walay nangusog na modagan ug ganahan jud ug kabag-uhan. Akong tubag unta kay ug duna bitaw, masilaw man sa kwarta ning mga botante. Mangarisgar man nga botaran ning lanog ug ngalan.

Hay, ma label pakog WOKE kay lage opposing ako mga choices sa ilaha (family). Pro-Filipino ko, wa koy dapigan nga kandidato kay kana sila angay na sila mo silbi nato. Di kay kita maoy mahimong luoy tungod sa ilang personal nga interes.
