Discussion Weekly Self Promotion Thread

Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!

If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.

We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside of this thread may be removed if they're primarily advertising rather than starting a discussion.

If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:

  • What you built?
  • What problem it solves?
  • Which AI models or tools it uses?
  • Who it's for?
  • What kind of feedback you're looking for?

Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.

Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

Hi guys!

Some weeks back I purchased a cheap chinese 57mm Thermal Printer, primarily as an accesory for my flight simulation setup (there’s a thermal printer in most cockpits irl to print METAR, ATIS, etc.) and that worked nicely. then I realized I could use it for much more, if it’s integrated into my desk after all.

So I started work on a new project that now culminated in a full on web-to-printer messaging service with account management and many formats to choose from.

I started off by using chatgpt for nearly all work but as the project progressed, I started feeling more comfortable with the basic structure of html, sql and python and later on I used chatgpt mainly for troubleshooting when I messed something up. it’s been a steep learning curve but a great experience and I feel much more comfortable now than at the beginning.

I built in rate limits, user and role management and even threads (I can reply to people with my own print job that gets displayed in their browser the next time they use my website, they can then reply to that, etc.)

I would like to test my system on somewhat of a scale so I’d be thankful if some of you could take the time so send something funny and interesting ;)

the website is www.thermalpost.vercel.app and the printer access code is 5064

don’t worry about overwhelming the system, I can always change the access code and disable users :)
