Finding myself using this app less and less and it’s a real shame

Hype is a powerful thing, hoping we see a return in those who were active initially

When do we draw the line and say it’s not early anymore?

To clarify, this isn’t engagement bait. Just an observation

Sam Newby @samnewby.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
Nope just an observation. I wish it wasn’t true

There’s so much more going on over on X and there’s more engagement There I said it

Learning how to deploy something to a VM with a container is a great way to get started with self hosting in 2025 - Run with Docker - Reverse proxy with Caddy for automatic SSL Once you’ve got that down move onto something that does this for you like Coolify

Friendly Sunday reminder that every tier of Vizalo Managed Apps include 1TB of bandwidth for free With Render this would cost $270 per month With DigitalOcean you’d have to pay for their most expensive tier ($392p/m) to get 900GB

Sam Newby @samnewby.bsky.social · 04/01/2025
How to ship in 2025 - Only buy 1 domain - Build with your most comfortable stack - Get a small VPS and go from local to prod with one of the many free or cheap tools out there

Happy Shipper Saturday

If you’re using one of @vizalo.co’s competitors (starts and ends with the letter R) this would cost you $295 per month 👀🤯

Anyone using an open source tool for changelogs?

Sam Newby @samnewby.bsky.social · 03/01/2025
Is that a good or bad thing?

Completed 30 Jira tickets in the last sprint and worked less hours than usual on Vizalo Maybe we need Christmas ever sprint

You’re underestimating how many people build by the notion “build it and they’ll come”

Trimmed the Vizalo backlog from 176 items to 95 AMA

One thing I learned from 2024 is that marketing is a powerful tool that most of us who build think we don’t need

Completely agree, infrequent tasks are a good example We continue to educate in 2025 💪🏻

Sam Newby @samnewby.bsky.social · 01/01/2025
But what about sky high serverless bills? We still hate them right?

Sam Newby @samnewby.bsky.social · 01/01/2025
If you only do one thing in 2025 make sure it’s marketing
