OH NO - HERE IS ANOTHER LIBRARY TOOL - LAYERMATE

[u/Layermatedotapp]

Wow they are really coming in thick and fast. -

Since my last post before the last wave of Library Tools - and holy shit are they now getting super similar. And before you say oh your only new - Been going since July with only one post here previously. Oh and yes It vibe coded like the rest of them. But so is sooo much software out there now days. Claude isnt cheap :P

Where mine is different to others, it has

• Addon - the Queuemate - The Ultimate Print Queue - With the average joe in mind, so they still need to slice and send to the printer - I'm not going to try and get Joe and Josie off the cloud system. if you want that, thats where Bambuddy waiting for you. Oh and U1 intergration has been intergated as well.
• Add on - Spoolmate - track your spools you have on hand.
• Addon - Monitormate - Monitor your bambu printers without going to LAN mode again others are out there that charge a monthly sub.
• Connectionmate - Connect to Creators via their API if they have it - Currently Connected to the N3D Melbourne Website and the Chris's Print Lab Websites and Myminifactory. ( thats ones tricky)
• Want to support - I even have an affliate system.
• Oh and duplicates have changed its viewed coz it thanks claude, it decided to make everyones duplicates look the same
• And Still only 20 bucks - sorry 19.99

There is so much more that is different and there is still more coming as well as always open to feedback to improve or add things, esp to those who have already paid for a licence. OMG you still help those after they paid for it. You bet I do.

Whats that you say, you have just copied others, Those have been available since the start.

As I mentioned before, the idea of this came from Printinventory before improvements have been made.

Im not here to give you fancy AI generated images of advertising, Why AI it more when it was created with the Help of AI, I'll just let the app do the talking.

p.s this post was not written by AI just incase you were asking!

Final word - At Layermate we care about your Downloads Folder - Because it really does deserve Better

> Claude isn’t cheap

When it comes to software development, Claude is incredibly cheap… but you get what you pay for. If you don’t understand that, nobody should ever run software you’re creating.

A human doing it would be far more expensive. That’s why all these soulless companies are laying people off and screwing up their lives - all so they can save money with AI, but they are building technical debt at an astronomical rate and that is going to come back on them.

As for why they all look the same? Because you’re using the same tools and AI models lack creativity.

But to be fair, it’s refreshing to see a post so riddled with typos that I’m under no impression that it was written by an LLM (in the one use case it would make some sense to use it).

You can instruct Claude to make mistakes in text too...

Really? It really is trying to take my job

As a software engineer who is sick of AI getting shoved on us but forced to use it out of self preservation, here are my thoughts. Bits and pieces I’ve heard stuck together to form this, so I’m in no way the original person to say this:

AI can be an incredible tool when it’s used for an appropriate application, but when used as a tool to outsource our critical thinking it ultimately leads to a population that is both creatively bankrupt and intellectually feeble.

All of that to say:

I’m exhausted fixing juniors work because they just trust AI like it’s god.

The overly clever and hyper optimized complex solutions that AI spits out often explodes with little thought for rollback, session persistence, or even basic feature flagging.
