It’s nice to let Claude ask Gemini for a second opinion during plan mode, or when I’m translating my tool into a language I don’t speak

Still thinking about the direction I want to go with this tool. I think education is the best bet, since there's already universe sandbox for gaming

I've been saying that ChatGPT's release was reckless and should have come with way more safeguards.
I've had discussions with people using ChatGPT as proof for very clearly false statements.One time, someone argued with me about the moon landing being fake, and bringing up Vaccine Misinformation. Backed by ChatGPT.

And I wanted to make some reels/write somethign about Luna (the space sim I am working on)
Luna has been getting 2-3k viewers daily. It's great to see. Tons of feature requests are coming in.Well I've looked into options to optimize my video creation. Only to build my own Recording tool with NextJS and Remotion (which is incredibly cool)
It's also a learning experience for me. I am working with AI Agents, but I haven't added my own MCP server to a tool yet. And I wanted to toy around more and more with it, since I think I should share more info on that. Well. It's incredibly fun. And now Claude code can also use the tool I built.I also added an AI feature (openrouters free models) to Luna, where people can describe solar systems, and get them generated - I figured that might be more intuitive than letting people edit JSON manually. I'm still thinking about an interactive generation, and how people can actually learn with it, instead of just being fascinated by it...

First of all: there's been so much positive feedback. Lot's of people have shared it. At the start I was super happy to see 10-100 daily users. It is at like 1-3k daily users now most of the time.
In the last months there's been tons of performance improvements, and I am working on more scenarios. Some information about other realistic systems, rayleigh scattering - see the atmosphere on sunset on other planets, some more lessons, date navigation
and since today: JSON mode. I have an AI chat in there (using free openrouter models) to help you generate some, but you can also modify the JSON fully to have your own scenario. I have a prompt in there so that you can interactively generate a scenario if you don't know anything about JSON too.
Feedback of the tool shows me that a lot of users learn about the tool in school, which is amazing to see too.
I appreciate all the feedback I have gotten here, so any more feature requests are welcome!

But yeah those 2 are always nice to see. they’re siblings: flat white and macchiato (the calico)
And whenever I visit that cafe I hope to see them. But macchiato roams around so much now, I barely saw her in the last few months.
Last time I saw flat white though, I walked next to him, he looked at me from a nap and immediately got up and wanted to cuddle. So I picked him up and held him for like 5-10 minutes while he kept rubbing his face into mine hahaha -

Before I retype everything, my girlfriend made a short form video about it.
In short: a stray decided to walk into our life, and we have kept her with us sine. Now we’re doing all the prep to bring her to Europe. And take her with us on trips. Leash training her etc.
Feeding a cat can change your life. #thailand #nomadlife #catlovers
https://youtube.com/shorts/3vQG7O-qjpM?feature=shareThere’s another amazing stray male here we’ve taken care of since our other neighbors left. We got him castrated last week. He’s been quite aggressive towards our (female) cat, so it sometimes gets a bit awkward, when he’s around.
I will share some photos of him later. But I’m about to head to sleep -

Funny story: yesterday I was sparring with a woman who was probably similar in height to you. (I am an average height male 5 ft 8 or so?)
And this woman I sparred with was shocking me with her skills. Like I didn't even notice her kicking and I got hit, and whenever I did a hit, she was incredibly fast in blocking and hitting me back.What really helped me enjoy running was listening to audiobooks. Specifically Born to Run was what I started with. And I got so hooked. I was genuinely wondering if I'll ever break a 30 min 5k when I started running. A year later I ran a 5k in 22:03

Marola and I are vegan, which is also why we had to cook a lot ourselves. I think in one of the first videos we’ve shown that we had like 15 blocks of tofu :D and those huel ready meals were super handy for this trip
Has anyone tried this software for CAD design by now? I’m gonna give it a shot I think, since onshape is really expensive.
Fusion360 is another choice of course, but I’m not 100% convinced after trying it for a bit.
