i stopped looking for the weird problem

i'd wait till a fresh start tomorrow.

but then i realized claude has all the code, so i could just tell it my problem.

can you find it, i asked, realizing i had not given it info on what the problem is.

there's a very weird mistake in the code i wrote just now, and there was a lot of it, i said to claude.

can you find the problem.

had no idea what to expect.

no more than 3 seconds it said I got it!

it was a typo. where i meant to type x i had typed prefs.

juggling a lot of bits in my head, my brain skipped, i didn't notice.

i would have found it quickly in my next session. but now i can think of anything but that problem until then.

sometimes claude can be totally frustrating, but other times the power makes such a huge difference.

Added default font and fontsize in body element in styles.css.

Added the skeleton of the prefs user interface, we don't have a way to store them in the database.

There's a new menu in the right side of the menu, to support logging in and out, and settings.

Included Ubuntu font. I like it and use it as my default font everywhere.
