After work hours I'm continuing work on my Saas for hairdressers. There's some big players there but I feel like I can at least still try. I'm honestly really surprised about how much I get stuck on business logic decisions. I went into this thinking making appointments, basic managing of employees and all that would be simple and relatively similar across salons. Additionally I'm considering where I should move to.…
I’m working on not being bothered by the fact that everyone else is working on something
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So uptimerobot.com is complicated for you?
Not for me. Apparently finding and setting up monitoring is too problematic for all of the people who are running their freshly-created startups and e-commerce shops without any monitoring. For someone who does not know HTTP from HTTPs or all the different kinds of probes, reading about them and making decisions about what to set up is a time investment. Complicated might be the wrong word. All you really need to do…
I've been updating my HN bot (watch comments for keywords and post to Slack/Discord) written in Crystal to use raw SQL instead of unmaintained ORM. Turns out the whole app needs only ~ 10 SQL requests, and it's way funier to write modern SQL than fighting the ORM. The new code looks like this : db_message = Model.save_new_message!(@conf.db, DbButler::Hn, item, DbState::Processing) Than I have a Model module with all…
Hmm any plans on integrating it with Discord instead of Slack? Also, aware of https://f5bot.com/ ?
I was not aware of f5bot, but I got inspired by another bot called Little Birdie which doesn't exist anymore and it's basically just a re-implementation of it.
Firefly is a typed full stack programming language: - object capabilities - implicit async/await - immutable collections https://www.firefly-lang.org/ It's small and (hopefully) fun, and quite usable already. If you try it out, please share your thoughts!
Looks fascinating! RPC looks interesting. Tasteful website! Slight typo: search for "NodeSytem" on your home page.
I'm working on a project to document all publicly accessible stained glass in North America. The tech itself isn't anything exciting (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and using Bootstrap for UI). All the work is in collecting and entereing data and hopefully recruiting folks around the country to go to their local church/synagogue/mosque, government building, or glass shop/studio and taking photos and collecting information on gl…
I'm still working on development of a native Windows application for data analysis of SQLite databases. It's geared towards non-technical (or only slightly technical) users and allows queries to be easily made without knowing SQL. Additionally, it easily lets the user quickly create charts from the queried data (bar, column, histogram, line, pie, scatter). Development is nearly complete and hoping to put in the hands…
I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…
The guy at Not Just Bikes will tell you that enforcement will never work nor happen and that the only way to get people to slow down is to design the road so it doesn't feel safe to drive fast. The road next to my house has a speed limit of 20mph but most cars go 45mph because it's a straight road 4 lanes but space for 6. No bumps, no curves, wide. Effectively it feels like you should be driving fast. If I go the spe…
