To Zoe, whose strength, resillience and kindness inspires me.
Acknowledgements
As they say, it takes a village to raise a webapp. I'd like to thank React, Nextjs, Vercel and Tailwindcss for hosting this website. Thanks also to Sarit, Michael and the whole team at Groq for building the most impressive AI platform out there. There is some OpenAI in here as well, so thank you to the team there as well.
This project is completely open source, and you can see the code on my GitHub.
I got the idea for this project over some wines on a warm summer night in San Francisco with Franny, Haley, Emma and Zoe. Thank you for being your amazing hilarious selves and amazing friends.
This would not have happened without all the folks who have taught me how to code over my whole life. To Daniel Judd, who taught me "hello world" almost twenty years ago, Stephanie Schwarz who taught me everything I know about computers, Henrik Berggren who taught me everything I know about product, and of course my current cofounders, Tanmay and Pip, who are absolute legends that I love working with every day.
Saving the best for last, I have to thank my wife, Zoe. There are not enough superlatives in the world to describe her. Zoe makes me a better person and I am so lucky to have her.
