Got multi window support to work on flutter/macos 2nd window is actually a NSPopover which acts as top bar menu dropdown Multi window support in flutter was always its weak point, but with just little bit of digging into internals - its not that easy to achieve #flutter

Some people say test coverage it overrated Well, we have different opinion. Literally saves from lots of bugs and issues

Coming closer to updatify.io release and now trying to improve landing page. Here's the new design I'm thinking of What do you generally think UI feel? Surely I'll change texting and some icons.

Took weekends off from social networks. Don't feel much rested though, but I don't have much thoughts to post. Feels like "being in stream" helps to generate post ideas PS: I have using AI to create posts, so you'll never see it on my page

Spent 30 mins debugging why some styles works on dev but not on prod. Well, turned out its how vile handle CSS compilation. In my case had to add this postcss section to get it compiled during assets:precompile step #rubyonrails #Ruby

First error from updatify.io in bugsnag. Now I know that it works. Added a while ago, but haven't seen any errors so far #MyElixirStatus

Continue my work on updatify.io and today added new section where users can configure their project and also get script to install it. User gets redirected to this page right after creating new "Site"

Made this quick Cars&Bids mobile app prototype, just to find out Doug recently launched his own app. Well, lesson learned, you gotta be faster showing off something. Had this app gathering dust since August Fully operational, done with #flutter

So what's the point of Hotwire Native? How is it different from phonegap/cordova or any other web view based framework? All of them provided access to hardware APIs + some bridging mechanism to call native APIs(and components) There are tools like flutter, react native, why making one more?

I regret adding Vue.js to one of my rails apps. I started it few years ago when turbo wasnt popular and was lacking few features. Today I would go with Rails + Turbo + Alpinejs. This stack covers 95% of all possible frontend interaction cases

Never offer fixed price for the job you haven't seen yet Offering MVP for $5000 is a road to nowhere since you'll end up spending much more time than these $5000 covers I've done that mistake, so you shouldn't

Sounds silly, but my hobby is my 9-5 job too 🙈

A billion dollar idea - Streaming service which connects all other streaming services together. Charge by watched hours(say $15 for 100stream-hours) and split income evenly by hours spend with content provided by according provider. Extra hours can be bought separately

I noticed I started to overcomplicate things. When working on simple feature I think about extensions I can add later and that turns from 1h task into few days job. I know this is partially "experience problem", since you already have done that many times and know what possibly can be asked extra

If anyone still looking for folks to follow, or wants to join list - you know who to tag!

When posting your #buildinpublic progress, do you prefer to post images or videos? I know some content can only be image, but the one than can be filmed - should it be video or image with description?

Just a friendly advice to folks who provides freelancing services - make sure you have at least 2-3 popular payment options. Such as swift/ACH, wise, PayPal, payoneer or any other popular services that used across whole globe. As I client I don't want to use some shady services to pay

Ceiling speakers greatly underrated. It helps to create this "lounge" vibe without actually distracting you from work I installed them long ago but didn't really used much until few weeks ago

Creating landing in framer doesnt equals to creating design. Was looking for designer, came across a nice guy, but turned out he'd do only framer websites. Thats not exactly designing as it, more like landing page creator.

I hate a thing when you pay for software, then you ask related questions(why something isn't working as docs describe, or point to obvious bugs) and hearing silence in return. Like why would I even continue my subscription for next period if you can't respond me at all?

Updatify | The best way to keep your users updated

Fixed most important but non working feature on updatify.io - removing posts. It didn't work since the beginning because of incorrect variable name I think this is big milestone in every project when most easy feature finally starts to work after long time

As I'm continue to work on updatify.io I've started to use app's widget to share my own progress through my own landing page. Its not many visitors there, but this way I can show to future customers what's the progress on building it. With better SEO I could have better results #buildinpublic

Spent this morning adding docs section to website creation flow. Once created you shown code snippet to embed updatify.io widget to your website Not gotta lie I like how its done on few other apps, so I copied their approach until I have better idea how to do it #buildinpublic #elixirlang

One of the coolest things being developer - is that you can create software that you need "right now and right here" On screenshot my own music player client for Jellyfin. I made it fully open source so that everyone could use it github.com/avdept/Jelly...
