Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

The custom game for your daughter sounds awesome. Anything more you can share about it? Maybe I can replicate something for my teenager

Trust is not "marketing materials". Folks trust that you keep those promises, that their code ist safe. Your product is trust, not the application. Code and application are just the vehicle to deliver that.

Nice idea, zero trust signals. Don't even see company details or the folks behind and no legal pages.

For me, it's around product-market-distribution-founder fit. Some questions are:

Product-market: Are folks already spending money on such products or problems? How does my product solve that issue? What are their alternatives, including doing nothing? Are there big players? If yes, there's plenty of money. How's my product different? Any smaller niches that are underserved?

Distribution: How can I reach the target customers? Is that a channel I can actually access? Do i even have a chance to reach them?

Founder: Is that product-market-distribution combination my thing? Is that a distribution channel I want to use, or does it turn me completely off? Do I even want to serve those types of customers?

It might be a super product-market-distribution fit, but if it includes stuff I dislike or even hate, the risk of procrastination, etc., rises sky-high, and everything becomes a pain, a dread, and a constant fight, exhausting my willpower fast and thus causing me to fail.

Wanted to test another way to capture feedback for a bunch of apps and stuff on the same site. Registered users can add new posts to the feedback board, and all can comment and vote on them. And I can set a status on a post, so they see if something was implemented; simple done state.

I liked nolt.io from the design and stuff. But it does too much, and the monthly price didn't fit for a simple test. The others in that league were the same. The indehacker's are mostly not GDPR-compliant and have this doom-laden smell of neglect.

Thank you for the pointers.

Was recently looking for such a streaming thing; just streaming from a set of MP3s in a folder, nothing fancy. The majority looked too complex, with too many moving parts, for my idea.

Found one in Go that might interest you too: GoFM. Although I dropped my idea for now, I'd love to see yours come to life, too.

Nice.

Feedback board or feature board are the terms, and there's a plethora of SaaS options, from tiny to large.

I recently searched for one, but they were either over budget, required extra user accounts, weren't GDPR compliant, or too complex. In the end, I coded a custom solution for my site.

Yours would have fit if I had found it earlier.

I've been using Fastmail for years now to host emails for my domains. Works like a charm. Maybe worth for you too.

Adding a description and screenshot would help or do you expect folks to run it or dig through the source code?

Took a look and here my thoughts in random order.

Looks like a dev perfolio and not something real.

No clear target niche/audience. Looks like for everybody but that seldom works.

Lacking trust signals, for example why should I trust your finance app or the transcript thing from a random personal site.

Too tech focused. Devs might drool about that but the average user is scared away.

Lots of fluffy wording where I zoom out. In my experience caused by the lack of a clear niche. Pick one, have a single target user in mind and write for that person. Will evolve over time so just start with something.

Where is the issue?

I worked around 7 years on the smallest 11 Zoll MacBook Air from 2015, on my lap sitting in an armchair in my living room and all was fine. Party even developing in Java. The only pain was the SSD was too tiny once I got into audio stuff.

Now, it's a 2022 MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 16GB and it's enough for most stuff I do. Only the 1Tb SSD got too small again.

If you want to work and get results, just get it done with whatever you got. Everything else are excuses.

On a side note, every dev should be forced to code on average consumer computers.

More screenshots or a demo would be awesome. Don't have PHP on my machine, so that put me off today.

Getting a 404.
