Really appreciate the graphics, in-between summary elements and the progress bar widget. A bit too much colorful font variants my taste as it leans towards distracting, but hey everybody is different. That was a swell read, thanks for sharing!

As far as "app which helps create overview, reduce overwhelm and taks small steps" - I wonder how many of those are out there? I have written about 3 of those already for various use cases and in different flavors. Using them over a longer period of time, once the chaos subsides or the novelty wears off seems to be hard for me personally.

What would be an easier niche in your opinion?

I'm also curious about ways to provide value with a technical project.

The challenge when exploring this topic: the incentive to stay under the radar. Those succeeding don't have much to gain from sharing details here. Worst case: it could invite competitors into their space.

Communities that thrive on growth (e.g., open-source) tend to share freely, but API businesses, especially ones which are easy to execute, often guard their edge.

A recent finding I had, while not necessarily an API: services which help you 24/7 stream a lenghty video file. YouTube live streams seem to work well for those lofi-types of channels, and there are services which are built to enable autopilot live streams.

Good stuff. Thanks! Any chance this has to do with the generous grants which get bestowed on movies and tv productions in Canada?

Thanks for the reply! Never would have thought.

Thanks for the suggestion!

That's the reason why I chose to focus on Go instead of Rust after immersing myself in it for a while.

Rust invites you to aim for brevity and crafting smart solutions whenever you can. Don't get me wrong, sometimes this leads to beautiful code. It can be super satisfying to write. But there is only so much fun in reading yet another 10-step iterator method chain which works due some arcane edge case in the middle of it.

I vastly prefer reading dumb and obvious Go code. It's just easier to understand and to work with.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm currently revising some old articles and getting back into writing more often, this is a nice reminder to keep at it.

Thanks a lot for sharing! I ended up watching the referenced "It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware" talk as well. Fascinating stuff.
