Spent $15 on shakespeare.diy tonight for the first time trying to build and I think I broke something. Incredibly slow on my browser (Arc, Zen, Firefox) upon deployment when testing.
Would be cool to have some collaboration in building if anyone is interested?! Can share more deets here or via DMs

interested. what's the deal?
Honestly not too sure. First time doing this. Seemed to do a great job in understanding the idea, and creating the application interface, but it’s not able to login using the browser extension and hangs up quite a bit.
Not sure if I’m able to share the session. Is that something I could do? Have you used Shakespeare before? Would love to get some help building this idea
Send the link?
Better yet push the repo to Nostr git
I’d be interested to see what you’re building. Can you send a link to the repo?
Thanks Daniel. I tried linking my GitHub to Shakespeare but it doesn’t seem to be pushing.
Here’s a link to the deployment - nostrpeer-trade.shakespeare.wtf
And also a download of the files from the project - https://wormhole.app/J9zLel#nnZXiVTbxedaKY6VzQGkBQ
App Description:
PeerTrade is a simple, privacy-focused P2P trading app that helps users exchange Bitcoin for fiat (and vice versa) directly with trusted friends - no intermediaries or centralized services.
The app uses the Nostr protocol for authentication, identity, and messaging, allowing users to connect via their Nostr npub (public key).
I’m not a Shakespeare user, the tools I use are Claude CLI + VS Code. It can be a little tricky to link to GitHub the first time you do it. I had to create a unique API key but I got it working. Since I work from a local directory on my computer, I can also use GitHub Desktop to push.
Gotcha.
Well it would be great to work together on the idea if you’d like. Here’s a markdown file for it

You should spend a little time learning how to get your GitHub connected, because it will be much easier to work with collaborators! I’ll ask other LLMs how to do something if I get stuck. You can get a lot out Claude or Google Gemini, and it won’t cost you anything.
OK @❒ PictureRoom – this version should fix most of your issues. There’s a summary doc in the folder so you can see what was changed.

I will, just need the extra time to sit down and focus in. Appreciate it D
Ooo awesome, I’ll take a look later!
Here’s an updated version, I found another login bug that I had to fix. 👇

Are you able to deploy it?!
I just have it running locally on my machine – this is yours to develop and deploy!
Feel free to publish it though, I’d love to just have it out there for others to expand upon. I just have the ideas, I’m not a developer or have any idea how to really do this lol
This is a good experiment for you to get your feet wet. My suggestion is try to build it in small bits. Don’t ask for more than one fix at a time. Ask questions and make sure it understands what you want it to do. Commit often. Work in branches. First and foremost, get your GitHub connected, this way you can actually invite others to contribute.
But you could be 😉 and enter the Halloween Hackathon! Do it for funsies! 🙏
