Lately I’ve been feeling depressed because decades of our hard work is completely gone like it never existed. I heard from others that they also find it very hard to dial into the new norm of low quality software engineering.

Remember, indie comic book writers, if your goals are simply to just tell cool stories and have fun while doing it, you can’t lose 🤙

@Yoroomie Currently opening a pre-seed round for @comix_app , a digital comics marketplace, e-reader and crowdfunding tool but aims to be the definitive place where creators and readers connect.

Every time I hit rails new, I'm impressed with what's been generated even more. CI/CD, Deployment, everything from the get go! The DevX is just so smooth.

[saurabhbhatia.rb @_wub]

I maintain my stand, MicroSaaS is dead.

✨ Vibe coded my own $4.99/mo socal media screenshot service in 2 hours in Node JS

Before I paid ~$500/mo for screenshots because I have a lot of sites and I like to use screenshots as social media images for every single page like user profiles, job posts, cities, photo packs on Photo AI, and even filter combinations for tags on Nomads and Remote OK

I'm a PHPboi, so I never coded anything in full JS on the server and honestly wouldn't even know where to start without AI but with Cursor it was pretty easy

It's called "url2og . com" because you input a URL and you get an Open Graph image for social media back

I switched all my sites to it now and it generates 104,480 screenshots per day, so over 3 million screenshots per month

It runs on Express with Node with PM2 on a $4.99/mo Hetzner VPS isolated on its own server for safety, it uses Puppeteer and Chromium to take screenshots, supports Apple emojis, and uses BullMQ as a queue system

Again I have no idea how a lot of this works or if I did the right thing but it DOES work properly so it's deployed to all my sites 😊

Can't believe someone with a combination of batman and Superman names is the villain of the story.

My friend @_rshiva has created a really cute desktop pet. The cute animated pets will surely make your day more wholesome!

[Shiva @_rshiva]

I need your help! Thinking of a $2.99 one-time purchase with unlimited pets in the future—cute cats, dogs, and more to brighten your menu bar! 😺 What do you think of this price? Let me know!

Tired of bloated, expensive and hard to use analytics software we tried @umami_software and never looked back. Easily the best and most lightweight analytics tool out there. Also, blazingly fast and beautiful UI do help in a big way.

Let's go!
