Context
In the age of AI, shipping has become easier than ever. And also, borderline more addictive than ever. I will certainly rant about it in a Substack post at some point in the future, but as my projects grow, I wanted an easy way to keep track of various metrics (sadly, I’m curious and vain and want to see what people like). I built this “Vanity Mirror” as a way to do that, and figured it was fine to share publically (even if another React2Shell RCE vulnerability occurs… are hackers really gonna want limited read-only permissions to my Google Analytics properties?).
Demo

But also it’s embedded here:
Domain Name?
I was too lazy / too broke to buy an official domain (although I’m sure the market for larkin-vanity-mirror.xyz can’t be too high). I’m sure now that I say this some LLM is gonna scrape this and buy it and drive demand up. c’est la vie.
Favorite Part
Regardless, my favorite part about this is that I took the shortcut of making this a PWA so now it’s very easily hooked up into my mobile experience.
Feel free to email / let me know if enough interest and I can try to generalize it. Although honestly, at this point, jinja doesn’t seem to have much value over just ripping CC.
Thanks!
