Day 7: Web to Book

March 4, 20264 min read

Announcement

With my WebToBook project that I released today, you will be able to convert any website you want into PDF or E-Book format with a beautiful book-style layout.

Whether it is a single-page link or multiple pages made up of several links, all of it will be formatted with proper book typesetting and presented with a clean, well-designed layout.

Additionally, with the auto-include module, you can choose whether the system should automatically detect and include subpages or related pages of the page you provide and add them to the book.

If you'd like to try it, the link is right below

Context

I started the Vibe Coding Challenge. I plan to release a new product every day, and today is my 7th day. You can visit my website (labdays.io) to learn about the process.


Notes from the 7th Day of the Challenge

I wrote the article from yesterday and shared it on 10 different social media platforms. Meanwhile, I had two projects built in the background using their initial prompts. I'm learning more and more (multitasking and working quickly).

I don't bother thinking about project ideas; I turn even the wildest ideas that come to mind into projects to see what they will turn out to be. Instinctively, I want to sit and think for days about which project I should do. But now, I am a vibe coder.

Whenever I get stuck on project ideas, I hang out on Product Hunt for a while. I just get inspiration or discover different topics that can be worked on. I've set a goal to read 250 newly launched Product Hunt projects every day; this builds my idea muscle. Sometimes it reminds me of something, or I misunderstand what I'm reading and come up with another idea. Misreadings are sometimes very valuable.

Most sectors are achieving noticeably good results by integrating AI into their work. However, since AI is taking software development out of our hands, it's becoming the main thing, not an additional thing.

Everything can be improved one step further. Ideas that seem simple at the beginning can become much bigger than their initial state through development cycles. Big things have small beginnings (Prometheus Crew - David 8).

Everything is meaningful in its own time. If I could have done these projects 5 years ago, they would have been great achievements. Now they are ordinary... Being fast allows you to keep up with the times.

Some days Claude works very well. Today is one of them.

By noon, I had prototyped 6 different project ideas. Some of them are useful.


Insights

  • I've become bolder in prototyping new projects and their potential. I can bring to life project ideas that I've had in mind for a long time but never worked on, with just a few sentences, and get a working prototype. After that, it's polishing.

  • Instead of sending the entire prompt directly, putting it in a TASK.md file and telling the AI to execute the tasks there is very effective.

  • I have some great projects that specific audiences would want to buy, but I need to develop a membership system and use it as a template across my projects.

  • Things that used to feel magical are now commonplace.

  • Developing a project iteratively can take it very far from its starting point. That's probably why developers are called developers.

  • Big is different. Even if each of these projects turns out to be useless individually, as a whole, they will make a difference.

  • The agent concept actually relies on words. Things triggered by words that lead to actions...
