I love YouTube but I think I've reached breaking point with the ads/ tracking/ recommended/ hiding subscriptions/ everything's a short now/ engagement bait Are there any alternative sites that feel more like the cosy old YouTube? #indieweb #smallweb #worldwideweb

One thing I don't like is that when you finish a long (~2 hour) block of work, it gives you a big spike of points at the end

I’m curious which #UX style people prefer for completed tasks: (1) Todoist, where tasks vanish for a cleaner UI (2) Google Tasks, which keeps them in “Completed” for that sense of achievement. Which approach motivates you more? #Productivity #Design #UI

The job market is ROUGH you guys Friend of mine works at Citi, said they had a role open up on his project and to send him my resume. The manager liked it, said I should apply officially. 30 mins after applying I get a rejection email from HR Even if you get a job offer, you can't get a job

🧑‍💻 One thing I love about the algorithm on #bluesky It doesn't encourage the Garry Vee-esq "tweet 17 times a day at exactly 12 minutes past the hour to maximise engagement" posting cadence It means that creators can focus on CREATING, rather than different ways to word "look at what I made"

📣 People juggling lots of projects 📣 What's your preferred way of keeping track of all the things you have to do? I'm currently using an abomination of Notion, Todoist, and Google Calendar 😬 #indiehacker #productivity #productivitytools #adhd

The gamification of your phone means adding elements such as points, league tables, streaks and pseudo-rewards 🤑 These feel exciting but are as valueless as the “false win” experienced by a slot-machine player who pays $5 for a spin and then, with bells and flashing lights going off, gets $3 back

Making a todo app to help me stop procrastinating might be the biggest backdoor procrastinate in history

A four panel funny meme showing a clown progressively putting on makeup. Panels read as follows: "I have all these important things to do and im not doing them", "No to do app on the market helps me get stuff done", "I'm going to make my own and its going to be amazing", "Then once thats done, I'll be able to get on with my important tasks"

For indie hackers starting their first project, I'd really recommend sticking to something like Firebase for all your hosting needs #buildinpublic #indiehacker #dev

A meme about the benefits of using a simple hosting system like Firebase Vs something over engineered. Small text reads: I self host with Docker containers orchestrated by Kubernetes with Nginx serving my Keycloak authed FE all managed by Terraform with all data stored in Postgres and monitored by Grafana and Prometheus
