Solo dev – thinking a lot about death.
About a year ago, my grandpa showed me a note on his phone called "WHEN I DIE" with banking, insurance, property, investment, and other information in it. It really didn't sit right with me.
The past couple months I've been working on a more comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to document our (for better or worse) complicated lives and I'm just starting to show people.
It's free. It's anonymous. There's no tracking. Download the document if you want to work offline.
It's just something I think should existing in the world.
Maybe I'll put it on Gumroad or something. Maybe I'll make some kind of hosted version one day... idk, shrug.
Feel free to check it out, lmk if it's helpful to you or you think there's anything I should add: https://deathdocument.com

I think you're right @sakopov. Luckily, I don't intend on adding ads here :)
I'm just glad to share this site with the community and hope people get some value from it!

@paulpauper, it's pretty much a UI on top of the awesome Stock News API (https://stocknewsapi.com).
I really just built it to get acquainted with Elixir + Phoenix, and wanted to share it with the community :)

Thanks @kuzee! Much appreciated :)
I appreciate that info on LiveView, I plan on digging into it!
The public-facing pages of this site aren't currently using LiveView, but I see it on the horizon.
For speed considerations, I'm actually caching news stories in memory using the excellent Cachex (https://github.com/whitfin/cachex) library.

I really appreciate both points of view here! Thanks for your feedback :)
I honestly just built this project as a tool to aggregate market news for myself and build something simple with Elixir + Phoenix.
I don't have any plans to add commentary – but I do intend to keep it running and building things that are helpful to myself and the community!

Hey @jedwhite! Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Yeah I'm pretty much relaying from https://stocknewsapi.com :)
I've been using them for about 2 years and they have an awesome team and service.

Thanks, much appreciated! I'm glad you find it somewhat useful :)
Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com, which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that).
The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix, with a couple main objectives:
- Familiarize myself with Tailwind - Set up a really smooth developer experience - Learn about deploying Elixir + Phoneix apps - Build something of some use!
I'd love to see your project as well – happy to discuss more!

We took up karate together with my childhood sensei over Zoom. It super fun, more interesting than just working out, and a great bonding experience.
DM me if you want my sensei's contact details, she's joyful and makes the sessions great.

Mad props to the team at Vercel! I used Next.js once a few years ago when it first came out and it left me wanting... but I'm super glad I gave it another go now.
Seamless dev experience, great docs, and pleased with performance. Highly recommend if you're looking to build a React app.
