@micromag84 Not being so tied to the apple ecosystem is one for me.

Also, is it as safe as 1Password?
What about UX outside the Apple ecosystem?

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

Update: It did bring some people, unfortunately no conversions yet.

I'm bringing down the price from 7€ to 5€ as last resort, but this idea is close to being discarded.

After a bit of research in @ahrefs I realized I can't compete for the "ynab alternative" keywords in english results, just too crowded with very popular sites.

What I'm trying now is localized results, for spanish and german to see if I rank better there.

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

Anyone with experience on localizing landing pages for better SEO?

@1Password as ssh agent is just amazing.

No passwords, no files lying around: just touchid and you are good to go 🔑

@IAmJerdog @speakerhouseio @alexddonate Still didn't write about it, too much work in the other projects 😅
Send me a DM and we can chat. I can't DM you...

@heyandras @coolifyio @Hetzner_Online Without a doubt

@GergelyOrosz In Spain you get an spanish IBAN and a lot of services like credit card and investment.

I had it also in Switzerland but there it had not a lot of products and no own account for Swiss francs…

@dexcompiler @davidfowl Yes, thats why I said like enum, to avoid that much of complexity 😅

Union types seem not trivial (in discussion since 2017…)

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

Btw, serverless for small projects it's a trap and 99% of the times don't need it.

VPS + Cloudflare is the way to go. 🚀

(or https://t.co/XqfxHt709d if it's a docker deployment and your don't want to handle a VPS)

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

Indie Hackers: Don't fall for the free-tier pricing of the big cloud/serverless providers!

Usually it's ok if you have one little project, but as soon as you used your free allowence, it gets expensive 💸💸

Little 🧵

https://t.co/XqfxHt709d and https://t.co/hBSBNIiHbN are hosted that way for very little money (€19 but I'm actually over provisioned).

That allows me to stop working on a project for a while but it's still there, I don't have to shut it down or be concerned about costs

TIL: LinkedIn is unusable with an AdBlocker on purpose...

@TweetsOfSumit How do this things work in the US?

I assume they have similar laws but the culture is just different…

Is it so or they are just culturally more flexible?

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

@GergelyOrosz I’m building stuff (fast) with .net for free but I’m seriously considering using RoR in my next project, just to learn it…

There are lots of remote, well paid positions in europe for RoR, but for .net there are far fewer.

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

@astrodotbuild @docusaurus Btw, I tried integrating Starlight to an existing Astro project and there was no way to make it work...

Still version 0.22 anyway 🤷‍♂️

[Juan Lapadula Pla @jclapadula]

Migrated the docs of https://t.co/XqfxHt709d to it's own site with Starlight (from @astrodotbuild).

For Your Numbers I used @docusaurus which is also ok, but doesn't have an integrated search 😕

Let's see how they endure the pass of time 🙂
