I do weekend projects fulltime now, well as much as coding whenever i feel like it is considered full time. I recently finished https://ForwardMX.io and now lack of motivation for anything else so i've started working on updating my TUI library for ruby: https://github.com/b1nary/rutui

I've been working on my Electron-powered desktop launcher (Alfred alternative) for the past year or so on and off. The idea is to eventually enable compatibility with existing Alfred workflows and also provide a rich DX for creating themes/plugins via the CLI tool that comes along with it.

in your blog post about launch: This is essentially how this all works. It is not exactly magic, but not easy [ether] also [failsave] a few words ahead.

Nevetherless it was an interesting read.

You mention a "few weeks" of development and testing. How many few weeks?

Thanks for the corrections, corrected. Obviously not my mother language :)

Well i've run the email server that is now the second server for nearly half a year i think. Developing the site, creating tests and binding it to the email server maybe took 2-3 weeks. It is hard to tell because i had the landing page and backend developed shortly after the first test server was setup and then finished it much later within a little more than a week (i think, i tend to underestimate these things :).

To be fair: I've used my own Rails template which saved some time and i've reused a lot of code for stripe from a different project as well.
