The Average Learner - Too focused on building my vision, forgot to put up a waiting list site.
I've been working heavily on intenca - my next big thing app. The vision is literally too big for me to build it's taking way too much time. In the meantime, I don't really know if people willing to pay for this. It's a self hype artistic trap that I need to avoid. Although I will be building it ...
- Spent a whole day trying rebuild one feature of my upcoming app.
Woke up at 8 a.m. today and started to work right away. Now it's 11:54 p.m. Apart from basic human functions like eating and hygiene related tasks, I basically working on my upcoming app non-stop. Tags feature rework I had my app using a very basic tags with String Array column to a Task table....
- Progress, goals, tasks, habits - all-in-one.
React Native My stack is Supabase+LegendState+React Native(Expo). I've been building this "Productivity" app for a while. Especially in the past few weeks. Today I went into some issues, with Android in particular. Pressable acting funky I got stuck with some buttons not working inside a Scro...
- Reader can now subscribe to Newsletter based on their interest.
Newsletter with Listmonk The newsletter mechanism is by using Listmonk, a self-hosted subscription managing FOSS. It is relatively easy to setup. I thought about using MailerLite. But I already have been using smtp2Go anyway, so I figured it is always cheaper to separate what I can do (managin...
- Rclone, CloudFlare R2, Syncthing -Sync and backup with encrypted data.
Work flow Create CloudFlare R2 > Rclone with local crypt > push to remote R2 bucket. Syncthing for cross device local sync. Backup/sync to R2 only when needed. Pros - Low internet usage - I am using mobile plan for all my needs. So it is good that I only back up to R2 when I'm in the libr...
- Added a comment section to my logs and posts
Added comments sections I tried self-hosting with Commento (outdated), thought about Remark42 and Comentario. But, it's been nothing but hassles. I kind of wanted to have a "everybody can comment" kind of comment system. So I opted for alternatives. But, in the end, the ease of setting it u...
- Moving away from both Google and Apple cloud.
I moved to Android with MacBook. Here's my setup. It is not bad at all. A lot of setup to do. - KDE Connect - Syncthing (Locally) - Cloudflare R2 + Blackblaze B2 for backups - Own domain email from Apple iCloud+ - Bitwarden - Ditched self-host Vaultwarden and WireGuard - GitHub - Ditched self-h...
- Been building a Shopify site to sell physical product with a friend!
Trying out physical goods selling Been trying to put up a good website and fix all the logistics on physical selling. Softwares is good as in outreach, but local demand for physical products is something no one in other countries can compete. It's worth a shot. It's been fun building this with...
- Developing and networking
I'm a bit lost recently. Mainly because I've set some plans and goals to head towards to for my projects. I keep working on building. Without realising the whole picture at all time. I knew my target customers and figured out how to prioritise my tasks through a Kanban board and whatnot. But I ...
- Added logs to the front page
Google wasn't indexing my logs, so this might help. But either way, I should. Because this is my website and I should have my recent activity on the first page.
- I've been busy working on a goal track + tasks app.
Current progress Almost MVP ready for the first app, left with only 7-8 things need to do. Refinement will get work on after the release and after gathering initial feedback from actual users. It will be web only first. Then, it will be released on App Store and eventually Android. But registr...
- Updated the feed page to log, and minor adjustments.
Major update - Revamped the Feed page to Log page. - Using timeline and dots to emphasize timeframe. Minor update - Updated fonts using Georgia - Added Log RSS. - Added RSS logo next to the site title.
- Focusing on one app.
I've been building a goal tracker + to do app. All todos has to relate to a goal, as we all are in real life. The app is not currently for your daily chores and fragmented tasks, but solely for reaching your goals. Most big tech starts with one great product, so will mine. I'm going to build a kin...
- My ultimate stack choice.
Finally settled with... Expo - for Both Web and Mobile Though I wanted the ease of developing a pure web app and wrap it with Capacitor or some sort (including Tarui), I struggle to make it work on Android because of how the webview works so differently than modern tech. Tarui can be deskt...
- Future of this blog? Login and comment system?
Adding a backend to this site? I want to have my own comment systems and notification running on the site. So viewer can subscribe to their interested topics. And, this account will be using my Intenca project account. Because most of my articles viewer should be a learner (I guess?), I want t...
- Added Projects page consuming JSON file.
Migrating from old personal site to this one I have yet to move the "Website" JSON to this site yet. However, it turns out pretty nicely so far with the "Apps". Astro is not as convenient as NextJS when dealing with inline Javascript. But it is good enough for some basic client site rendering....
- Spent 2 days refining this site.
Almost There! So I've been trying to use Obsidian as CMS to supply the content on this website, that includes blog posts and feeds. I made the changes from separating personal site and blog to all-in-one because of the ease of managing. Also, I want to see if the traffics that goes to the blo...
- Build This Website to Serve As Both Feed And Blog
Idea My personal blog and my personal website were separated. Therefore, I want to easily manage them, by putting them together into one site. So it will show my personal projects, feeds, as well as articles. Template I'm using Astro-Yi to serve as base and modify it to my liking. I do app...
- Added A Radar Chart To This Site
Added a radar chart and intro. I kind of want to write longer, but let's keep it brief. I am revamping my websites to make it align with what I've been doing. Because I've been learning Japanese and Spanish seriously, I want to share my findings and learning methods on my websites. However, I'm ...
- Next Big Thing Stack Reconsidering...
Capacitor on Android is too annoying... Old webview. Couldn't get tailwind to work on it. Even if I can style it, the state is not reactive on Android for some reason. Or, there will be a navigation problem. Reconsidering React Native With Expo Dependency hell is true, but, my next project...
