@Lauren Stephens I only have FE101 notes but I can send them through if you still want! Haven’t even got to FE102
Shipped a full redesign of my app this week. Four screens, new database tables, the whole thing.
111 tests passing. Zero lint errors. It built cleanly. And one screen was completely broken. The cause: I had two style rules with the same name in one file. In JavaScript, the second one silently wipes out the first. No error. No warning. The tests never touched it, because tests check logic, not what your eyes see. I only found it because I rendered the screen and looked at it. Here's the lesson, and it's the whole ballgame for anyone building with AI right now: AI writes code fast. It doesn't check it for you. Verification is your job — and it's the part that's actually worth your time. Tests prove the math. Your eyes prove the product. You need both. What's something that passed every check you had and was still wrong? Drop it below. 👇

@David Williams well thanks lol but it’s all good either way this is only a first app and good practice for me, also portfolio stuff

@David Williams No sir, due to security concerns these are curated. It looks just like this but no real information was shown because thats actually one of the things the app promises, privacy ✅

Really never thought I could do something like this, so interesting 😎

@David Williams also that phone looks like it will be better for the local AI mine has very little ram space so I may just keep putting all the information I can on it and let it be an offline library

From what I heard they won’t be doing a discussion every week or something like that, there was an update awhile back

@Ini Eduok Yes but from my understanding you don't HAVE to do the discussion right?
🔌 New Project: Turning a Dead Phone Into an Offline Machine
I've got an old phone sitting in a drawer doing absolutely nothing. No SIM. No plan. No purpose. Just a $600 brick collecting dust. So I'm turning it into something. The project: wipe it, strip it down, and rebuild it as a fully offline device. No carrier. No cloud. No constant sync. Just a self-contained tool that works with zero signal and zero internet. Why I'm doing it: Most people underestimate what a phone actually is. It's not a "phone." It's a pocket computer with a camera, a screen, a battery, storage, sensors, and Wi-Fi radio — and we throw them in drawers the second we upgrade. That's wasted hardware. I want to see how far I can push one. What I'm planning to build into it: ⚡ Offline knowledge library — Wikipedia, survival guides, medical references, repair manuals stored locally. Full library, no signal needed. ⚡ Offline maps — the entire region downloaded, GPS still works without service. Phones use satellites, not cell towers, for location. ⚡ Local AI — I already run models locally on my machine. I want to see what a small model can actually do on a phone with no API, no subscription, no data leaving the device. ⚡ Dedicated focus device — no social apps, no notifications, no algorithm. Just books, notes, and audio for deep work blocks. ⚡ Security cam / dashcam — mount it, let it run, pull footage over local Wi-Fi. ⚡ Emergency backup — documents, contacts, passwords, and instructions that survive when the internet doesn't. What I'm actually testing: Can a device with no service still be genuinely useful? What breaks? What surprises me? What's the real ceiling on hardware everyone else calls obsolete? I don't know yet. That's the point. I'll be documenting the whole thing here — the setup, the wins, the dead ends, and the exact steps so anybody in here can do it with their own drawer phone. Building in public. Mistakes included. 👇 Two questions: 1. How many unused phones do you have sitting around right now? Be honest. 2. What would YOU want an offline device to do?

@David Williams heard that! Actually just hit a wall because I done forgot the code to get into the phone 😂 now Claude thinks it isn’t mine
