I have the tendency of pick no so-popular options (among the large dev population) but with eye to be as productive and rock-solid for solo dev. - PostgreSQL + Sqlite (PG is not that uncommon anymore!) as the main stores. I refuse to add anything else as far as I can, ie: Any other NoSQL thing, so I try to go with in-built functionality like FTS, Json, etc. Decent RDBMS usage is super-efficient and scale well for mos…

How are you compiling to iOS/Android? Or do you page views across various Android screen sizes give you issues?

Rust can compile to both easily, and I use a single FFI function that pass JSON between the UI/Rust logic. There I model a Request/response that is similar to HTTP, and the rest is pure Compose/SwiftUI stuff.

Hi, I use Cloud Services (AWS, Azure etc') for a simple machine. Then Caddy as webserver (with https from let's encrypt) phpfpm for the code.

That's it. Very easy.

Here is a sample: https://teusonho.org - analyze your dreams in Portuguese.

I run https://allaboutberlin.com It runs on Craft CMS inside Docker on DigitalOcean. I chose Craft because it lets you create custom post types with custom fields really easily. The matrix fields let you have rich text mixed with other widgets. All of this was a pain in WordPress. On the other hand, using not-WordPress means that you're on your own. You can't hammer a bunch of plugins together and call it a day. The…

This looks really amazing! I wish I knew about this website when I lived in Berlin a few years ago. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the detailed answer, much appreciated. Some follow up questions/comments: JS and therefore TS is the a key programming language of the internet. Where would you learn Typescript today if you would start from scratch? Is learning JS necessary for that? Interesting to hear about your choice to opt for a dive into the .NET ecosystem. Would you consider F# a wise choice here, or is it better to forgo it and…

Re: Js/TS I prefer "Learn x the hard way" style of learning for beginners, but no idea about resources for TS. When I'm learning a new language, I first read about the language to map the concepts I know to the paradigms of the language, look up style conventions, then just start building. Re: C#/F# The contract I'm on requires using C# so I don't have a choice in here. But I'm planning to explore F# more after this.…

Hi,

thanks a lot for your hints and comments. Will look into "learning the hard way". Much appreciated!

The big ticket thing is generating and uploading the galleries. For example I was photographing a horse show last weekend, and I have around 3000 pictures and 30 participants. I used to do that "by hand" with a SaaS, it would take me a full day. I did talk with them to get access to their existing API, but they kept saying they didn't have an API... Stupid. Now instead, the "generating and uploading" galeries itself…

I am looking at something similar - generating 200-ish usable images in a shoot with 20 people, sending photos for approval to each person and retouching their top selections. Especially when dealing with high profile individuals and want to generate individual galleries.

Well I couldn't find that in the opensource/SaaS, so I built mine.

It's possible I'll make it publicly available one day, but seeing my track record, I probably won't too :p

Maybe have a look at digiKam. It can generate HTML galleries and is the closest thing I could find to my use case. It takes a bit of tinkering, but you can generate nice stuff.
