Little fun logo builder nearly done SVG comes out around 37KB less than logofa.st, just needed a little less css! danjford.github.io/LogoBuilder/ #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 20/12/2024

Full gradient support now 😀 #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 20/12/2024

Amazing that you can use react components within Svelte! Moving from a svelte library to a react one with support for gradients #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 18/12/2024

Something like this?

Dan @danjford.com · 18/12/2024

Thanks! For Black & White, do you mean a dark mode?

110

Dan @danjford.com · 18/12/2024

Doing bits of work on this again today, any nice features you'd like? I'm thinking of having a noise/grain setting #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 15/12/2024

Looking good so far 🔥 Time for MarioKart with the kids now! 😂 #buildinpublic

020

Dan @danjford.com · 15/12/2024

Going to try starting to do more projects for fun, rather than going all in on ideas! Today going to try making a logo generator similar to logofa.st by @marc_louvion #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 12/12/2024

I feel attacked... 😂 Cursor putting this automatically as a comment suggestion #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 10/12/2024

Enjoying using Cloudflare but a bit annoying that file uploads are limited at 100MB unless you pay $200 a month per site 👀 #buildinpublic

010

Dan @danjford.com · 05/12/2024

When can Cursor have smth like Clippy and tell me when I'm doing something dumb Something like: "Hmm, looks like you're trying to do this... that's wrong" 😂 #buildinpublic

011

Dan @danjford.com · 04/12/2024

My Cursor subscription is up for renewal so just wanted to see what everyone else is using atm! Have heard some people mentioning Windsurf, is that better and worth the switch? #buildinpublic

Probably going to move all my domains to CF One domain I recently moved went from a £20 renewal yearly to $5

If anyone here is thinking of launching a crane company, now is the time! Lol

Dan @danjford.com · 01/12/2024

Maybe needs a transition or for the menu to close on mobile, looks like nothing is happening when the links are clicked!

110

Dan @danjford.com · 30/11/2024

Should also match the react logo colour! Lol

110

Dan @danjford.com · 30/11/2024

Something like this, not my area of expertise lol

100

Dan @danjford.com · 30/11/2024

I think a dark mode would look good!

110

Dan @danjford.com · 29/11/2024

Rising up those ranks, congrats

020

Dan @danjford.com · 28/11/2024

But then the current auction value is higher than other websites have estimated already lol Domain value estimates are hard!

000

Dan @danjford.com · 28/11/2024

Tbh it's just a rough estimate, it gets it right sometimes That's why I added the check estimate button to verify with another website Might add a few more checks in so the Estimate correlates more with other websites

110

Dan @danjford.com · 28/11/2024

Oh maybe useful for someone with knowledge in Vue? #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 28/11/2024

Are Nap Pods still a thing?

000

Dan @danjford.com · 28/11/2024

Could be an idea for someone delivering Christmas Trees or like the AI suggests, landscaping/tree removal #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

I built this if this qualifies 👀 For people who don't want to pay for posting to X and bsky Just add API keys and credentials to env variables bsky.app/profile/danj...

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

What's the new best CMS to self host? I need it to be super simple for clients who find Wordpress too complicated. I spun up Ghost which looked good, but not being able to define and configure a homepage within the Admin interface seems like it might be a miss #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

Nice, yeah makes sense! Impressive that you can balance both the full time freelancing and other work. I only recently left my job and am currently doing the odd freelance bits and indie building. Looking forward to being at a point where the revenue from side projects can overtake freelancing!

120

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

Nice thread! Do you still do full time freelance?

110

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

True! Not sure if it prevents it but I havent seen any yet. I wonder how it parses usernames with Cyrillic characters, or if it blocks them like раѕсаӏріхеl.com

010

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

I think all of these are very similar known problems that X still has tbh

000

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

I don't know how @bsky.app handles long usernames but another way of spoofing someone else's username could be Subdomains of a really long domain name that overflows the UI and probably gets trimmed username.com.reallylongdomainthatoverflowsbskyui.tld

100

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

Feels like @bsky.app could add some extra things in to make sure basic attempts like that are caught. Maybe highlighting .com or .co And making it so that I and l don't look the same

100

Dan @danjford.com · 27/11/2024

I wonder how quickly people will find ways of domain work arounds for impersonation Like using a .co domain would probably be missed by people scanning Vs .com Or how does bsky handle pascaIpixeI.com Vs pascalpixel.com

pascaipixei.com

Dan @danjford.com · 26/11/2024

Yep that was it! Was it the cdn had an old version cached? It looks like the fix is there now

Watching the final Pokémon episode with my son tonight, can't believe it's ending after all this time 😂

000

Dan @danjford.com · 26/11/2024

I think I've found the issue! Where's best to post it? Here or DMs somewhere?

110

Dan @danjford.com · 26/11/2024

I thought it might just be a mobile issue but I can't see on my desktop either, will have a look if I can see what is happening

Does anybody have a really good checklist for spinning up a Hetzner server? I've had Linode for over 10 years but making the jump now For Linode I used to like checking in with this article feross.org/how-to-setup... #buildinpublic

Does anybody else draft messages in their code editor? Cursor really trying to be helpful here but missing the mark lol

Cursor added suggested autocomplete, "Thanks John" when my name is Dan

Anyone in the Font space? FontBureau could be a good domain! Maybe a good fit for a designer or someone wanting to have a font marketplace? hotdomains.co #buildinpublic

What's the best way to get well formed data out of large gpt4 API chunks? With CSV and JSON the responses seem to be regularly malformed and need to be manually corrected Is there something I'm missing and there is a better way to get structured data out? #buildinpublic

Dan @danjford.com · 26/11/2024

Have noticed a few people calling it BS 😆 Was there an abbreviation for Twitter at the time? I can't remember one

Dan @danjford.com · 26/11/2024

How does posting comments work? On the blog post I only see this

Dan @danjford.com · 25/11/2024

There are ways like puppeteer but that feels too slow
