Small update on ReelTools. Added a search bar that filters by name, tag or
description in real time, and an edit button on each entry (before you could
only delete). Edit is a bit hacky: it loads the entry into the form and
deletes the old one, then when you hit Add it creates a new entry with the
changes. Felt cleaner than a full edit mode.

Hit a sneaky bug: editing the first entry kept deleting the last one. Took
me a while to figure out — turns out I was loading the data twice from
localStorage, which created different object instances, so indexOf returned
-1 and splice ate the last entry. Classic JS reference trap.

Search was tricky too because of the same issue — keeping the original index
when the list is filtered. Not touching the UI for now, ReelTools is done.
Moving on to the next project.

Second version is up. Now each entry saves a name, the reel URL, the repo
URL, a short description, tags, and a transcript. I also added an export
button that dumps everything into a .md file — the idea is to use it as a
“tool memory” to feed other AIs later. The transcript sits inside a
dropdown so it doesn’t clutter the list.

Hit two stupid bugs while building it. My editor’s autocomplete kept
rewriting value to ariaValueMax and reset to requestFullscreen.
The second one made the whole page go fullscreen black when I hit submit.
Took me embarrassingly long to spot.

The UI still screams AI though. Same orange theme, same emojis everywhere.
I know I said I’d remove the emojis for this version and… I didn’t.
For v3 I’m committing to it: no emojis, more sober palette, cleaner layout.
If anyone has actual UI design tips for someone who’s bad at CSS, please
share.

I’ve finished the first version; for now it only saves the link and little else, but bigger things are coming. Also, the UI screams AI, and I don’t like that design. Does anyone have any videos or tips on how to design UIs? Gemini has been showing me and has added his own “artistic touches.” I don’t like the design; I think it’s ugly. I’ll probably remove the emojis for the second version.
