Building Hackosy — a tool for solo makers to manage your projects and hack through the boring stuff. Built and sold @skivvrNoCode in solo

1/11
So, I reflected a bit about where I personally struggled as a solo founder and decided to make a micro SaaS targeted at us, fellow founders. I want to have everything you need to start and work on a project gathered in one place to #buildinpublic 🧵👇

Today I’ve improved the speed of a particular frames matching algorithm. Made it 100x faster by calculating everything in WebGL2 shader.

From 20fps to 2000fps.

Coding Electron app is a huge fun, but I keep thinking that I am doing something wrong with IPC

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Today I played with a Skia library. Was able to achieve a CPU rendering with compiling it to Webassembly.

My goal is a hardware accelerated rendering though, and the lack of documentation combined with nearly nonexistent articles on the topic aren’t exactly speeding things up 🙂

@pohnean Just an office chair with a headrest and some configurable stuff

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

I ordered a chair a couple a week ago or so, because my back kills me.

It came today, unassembled.

The closest assembly date is in one week.

Turkish service kills me 😅

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Been caught up in the current work so much lately.

Love the team, love the product, love the tech.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

I spent today around four hours trying to get running an 8-years old legacy Java/Kotlin project which is not dockerized.

It worked in the end, but I am devastated.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Ok, next weekend is definitely needed to be dedicated for resting

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

It’s been a great coding and learning day.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

OpenGL is extremely fun to play with.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

@finereli I will need to do some heavy stuff with number crushing before drawing my stuff, so C++ it is. The drawing code itself should not be hard both in WebGL and OpenGL in my case

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Today I drew a triangle with OpenGL, C++ and Emscripten on web canvas.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

@finereli Indeed 😂

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

What a crazy days. Jumping into a new project a month before the deadline is quite a challenge 😅

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Adobe acquires Figma.

F.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

@EmmeMaker I mean to write the code that will be pretty hard to read and understand after some time

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

RxJS is amazing, but it is extremely easy to do a write-only code with it :/

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

@sergiuson Depending on the task :) My go-to framework is React, but now I need to do some off-the-main-thread calculations, so using plain Typescript.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Had one more day of byte crushing, but on the JS side.

I definitely need to do some HTML and CSS just to rest a bit 😅

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

It was an amazing productive day.

I prettified so much stuff in a previously messed up codebase.

And did a total UI/UX overhaul.

New thing I learned — Emscripten needs to be specifically told to allocate specific amount of stack memory if you need more on your app init.

[Pavlo Yevsehnieiev @PavloDev]

Today I spent the whole day playing on iPad.

Tomorrow I’m going to finish the whole UI overhaul for the app I’m working on.
