@luciantartea Thanks 🙏

I recently played a lot with Ubuntu servers, so I decided to share my process on self-hosting web apps using Ubuntu + Caddy

After 16h+ the server is finally up again 🥳

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

My server provider has a network outage - This means my email service is unavailable, causing all links in my weekly newsletter to not be available 🤦‍♂️

What a bad timing...

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@CKozalla Still down 😅 Going to bed now - let's see if it's fixed by tomorrow

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@CKozalla I was pretty happy with IONOS so far because the pricing is good, and it runs on green energy. But the outage is really annoying as it's going on for more than 2,5h already 😖

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@CKozalla I recently switched to IONOS, because I was looking for a VPS that runs mostly on green energy.

Wow, since Monday - that's a really long downtime 😅

I made this small tool - Buttons Generator.

100+ buttons you can use for your projects.

It is live on @devhunt_ today.

🗓️ October

📷 MRR: $39.40
📨 Subscribers: 1101

Last month, I focused more on reducing costs. By moving away from Mailerlite, I save like $40 bucks a month. Today I'll move from Vercel to save another $20

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

My goal for the #webdev newsletter on https://t.co/1QYNwJrTqF is to grow to 1000 subscribers and $100MRR by the end of the year :)

I'll report below how it is going 👇

🗓️ September

📨 Subscribers: 855
💰 MRR: $40.50

Got quite some subscribers this month through paid ads. This month, I'll work on improving my sponsorship flow to make it more attractive & easier to use 😊

@luciantartea Thanks for your feedback :)

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

Today I've been playing around with logos for my latest project (which I've decided to name "OpenMailer")

Which idea do you like more? 🤔

#BuildInPublic

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@gyulanemeth85 It looks nice 💪 Yours is more for transactional mails, right? Mine will focus more on newsletter sending :)

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@wwwierenga Sure, whenever you have the time :)

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@gyulanemeth85 Thanks for the feedback :) It's a minimalist open-source alternative to Mailchim, Beehiiv, etc

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@wwwierenga Sure, if you're up for it - I'm grateful for any help I can get :)

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@42loops I was thinking the same 😄

@holmisthename Doc

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

@luciantartea Thanks I will :)

[Vincent Will @wweb_dev]

Today I added a small dashboard to my mailing tool :)

I think in like 2 weeks I'll be done with everything I have in mind #BuildInPublic
