The project isn't even open for sign ups yet, but the internet already wants to poke at it. Got a wave of: GET /docker/.env GET /docker-compose.yaml GET /docker-compose.override.yml ... Moments like these always remind me to double check if I left something open somewhere. 🤔 #buildinpublic

It took me about a week to get up and running with Helix. Now I know more about LSPs (Language Server Protocol) than I ever wanted. 😅 With VS Code everything just works magically. Meanwhile I just found out that "HTML LSP" is an actual thing. 😱 My touch typing is also improving, which is nice.

I try to learn at least one new tech every year. It keeps me from becoming the classic grumpy developer who says "things were better in 2009". 😅 Last year it was 3D printing and ChatGPT. Before that Docker and Devcontainers. 🧵 #buildinpublic

One step closer. Now components can also synchronize between pages. 🚀 But the code needs a serious cleanup... 😅 #buildinpublic

My kitchen scale always beeps when I turn it on. It even has a "mute" button, but it forgets it's muted. The other day I finally snapped, opened it up, and cut the beeper cable. It's silent now. Yet every time I turn it on, I still hear the beep in my mind. 😅 Shouldn't have waited this long...

I’ve been working on custom components in remake lately. It’s rough around the edges, but it’s finally starting to work! Still a lot to fix though. #buildinpublic

When I’m not building online experiences, I’m busy creating spooky offline ones with my wife at our English academy. Not sure if the kids enjoyed it more or we did. 🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 #buildinpublic

Working on the media library & Unsplash integration for remake. Now the grid lets you preview images even if they don’t fit in the box, with a nice horizontal or vertical animation. Next step: getting custom components to work. 🤔 Once that's done, I can start accepting alpha users. 😱 #buildinpublic

I've been writing the terms of service and privacy policy for remake, and it really changes your perspective. When you sign up somewhere, you just skip that stuff (🤫). But when you have to write your own, you see how much every line actually matters. 🤯 How do you create your TOS? #buildinpublic

I've been around the build-in-public crowd for a while now and noticed something kind of obvious: people who build stuff they actually want to use keep going much longer. So yeah, I think the best advice still holds. Build what you'd actually use.

Me: I’ll just tweak the layout a bit before bed. Also me, 3 hours later: “What if I rebuild the editor architecture entirely?” 😅 Thankfully, I resisted the urge. 😄 #buildinpublic

Slowly building remake, one publish button at a time. Sneak peek of the new publishing flow. And yes, there's confetti. 🎉 Can't wait to open it up for early users soon. What's your "confetti moment" when you ship something? #buildinpublic

I was chasing a weird Docker issue: every deploy restarted my services, even with no code changes. After hours of debugging, I found out BuildKit was changing SHAs every build. Disabled it... then realized a Docker update fixed it all. Lesson: update first, debug later 😅 #buildinpublic

Lately, I’ve been observing how people around me interact with modern tech. Most are barely scraping by. They’re faced with confusing interfaces, bloated features they’ll never use, and walls of marketing speak. It’s easy to forget: we’re building for them, not just ourselves. #buildinpublic

Interesting read: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0... My favorite part is: In the Who Cares Era, the most radical thing you can do is care. In a moment where machines churn out mediocrity, make something yourself. Make it imperfect. Make it rough. Just make it. #buildinpublic #solodev

Inspirational read: longform.asmartbear.com/little-compa... I've always found small, personal projects way more inspiring than polished, corporate ones.

You're a little company, now act like one
You're afraid that looking like being a small company means you'll lose sales. It's actually the opposite -- you're alienating your best customers.

Yesterday was... eventful. A 15-hour power outage taught me a lot about redundancy. 😅 Especially when your Docker containers refuse to start without internet. This didn't happen in the old #php times. Lesson learned: test things without internet connection. 🧨 #buildinpublic #solodev

OMG, I’ve been so busy on getting ⚡ remake to a minimum lovable product state that I totally missed that real people have started signing up for the waitlist! 😱 I have to speed up now. 💪 What are some good ways to keep in touch with people on the waitlist? #buildinpublic #solodev

“Your best position is your next position.” Probably the best advice. The key is to keep moving and avoid sitting in one position (🦐) all day. 👍

Today I realized that when I started web development, I could fit every CSS property in my head (except `azimuth`, the name stuck, but I had to look it up again). Now I need a second monitor just for the docs. Simpler times. 😅 #buildinpublic

The main thing I like about building a product is that it never gets boring. There’s always something new to learn, something to fix, or something to improve. The hard part is just deciding which fire to put out first. 🚀 #buildinpublic #indiehacking

They say there are three tough challenges in Computer Science: 1. naming things 2. cache invalidation 3. centering a div on a website I made sure to implement the 3rd one first in remake. 🙌 #buildinpublic (not much else works yet 😅) PS: #tailwind is great!

Everyone talks about MVPs, but I recently came across a new term: Minimum Lovable Product (MLP). The idea is to go beyond something that barely works and create something that customers can truly love. This is a good way to differentiate your product from the rest. 💪 #buildinpublic

My HP laser printer eats toners for lunch but never uses them up completely. So I took apart the leftover toners lying around and combined the toner dust into one. It worked! Maybe the saying, “you’re a programmer, you can fix my printer” is true after all. 😱

This weekend, I made my first-ever animation for my landing page to showcase how the website-building experience might look like. I was proud of it... Until the first review: "It's too simplistic and non-flashy." True. Back to the drawing board, I guess. 😄 Not every day is a win. #buildinpublic

Today, I spent some time copywriting for the landing page. Thank god for ChatGPT. Don’t get me wrong, it writes like a marketer on drugs, but all I need are little nuggets here and there to get my creative juices flowing. All in all, it was a productive day. Next up: design. #buildinpublic

As a solo founder, I’m: - the CEO setting the vision - the senior dev shipping features - the junior dev wanting to rewrite from scratch - the marketer needing "just one last feature" - the designer with crazy ideas - the plumber fixing leaky pipes - ... It's a team of one. 👊 #buildinpublic #solodev

Naming things is hard - and designing a logo is just as tricky. 💡 Over the weekend, I experimented with using 'remake' as a verb: "Why don’t you just remake it?", and created a simple logo to represent speed and being in the cloud. What’s your thought process when designing logos? #buildinpublic
The image illustrates my thought process behind choosing a lightning symbol as the logo. It represents speed and being in the cloud, while also resembling the letters ‘R’ and ‘M,’ which are part of the service name, ‘remake.’

I’ve been lurking in the #buildinpublic communities for a log time, but seeing so many genuine people sharing their journeys here inspired me to switch from read-only mode to actually build something and put myself out there. - domain name acquired ✅ - landing page (in progress)

As a freelancer, I’ve worked with many people, but the successful ones all had one thing in common: they showed up consistently. The end product often changed, but you can’t figure out when and how to pivot if you’re not there, putting in the work.

When looking at competitors sometimes I get overwhelmed with the amount of features they have. I have to remind myself that most people don’t buy a drill because they want one, but because they need a hole in their wall. You don’t need all the fancy features, just the right solution. #buildinpublic
