ilja van den heuvel

hi there, i am a belgium based AI enthousiast and life long dreamer. i am doodling with software development all my life, even way back as c64 basic - and yes i am that old. later i tried many other stuff, visual basic, html and css, turbo pascal and eventualy the great big C++. C++ was my nemesis back then, ok maybe woman and partying to (he i was 20, give me a break) but it made me hiatus on coding, i got married, kids, job, promotion, and finaly... divource. the separation wasnt hard, we grew apart, everyone was relieved, no hate anymore... the peace kind of made me look up coding again. not soon after i was with a highscool budy trying to make unity games and write stuff in C#... i dont know if its the age, the lack of alcohol or me just older but coding is more accesible. visual studio - and VS code, unity, C# is so much more understandeble and phyton resembles Basic, what?? anywhay the unity teamup didnt work, we parted ways and i discovered the miracle world of AI....OMG...chatgpt, claude, oilama, trea, replit... what in the world is going on. so long story short i finaly did it... i made a finished - ready to use - piece of software i am proud enough of to show to others. nothing fancy though a small chrome extension that with user input apikeys provide the latest trends in whatever keywordes the user puts in. i really dont know if it has any commercial value but its clean and finnished enough to show it to others.
