Hi humans

I write code sometimes

I'm a senior Typescript developer who's been writing code almost a decade and is currently moving to Rust.

I'm bored most of the time

  • I have a strong focus on minimalism so I don’t intend in going crazy with self hosted services. Also I have huge trust issues with so many self hosted projects so making my own projects when possible means less exposure to security vulnerabilities, AI or enablers of Authoritarian powers.

    I feel this heavy bro. I used to make minimal projects to satisfy what I needed like a kabanboard or pgp management or wtr. I wish more software took the time to protect against their real-world threat model but alas alot of the times there is negative profit incentive to do so...

    also, If I remember to let you know I will, I hardly make stuff anymore so I don't use my vps' often

  • I like the look of the backup scripts and I might use the dynamic motd script. Id love to hear more about what your selfhosting? (also btw you using codeberg is hella respect)

  • those are both really cool projects, I'm always happy to see people make hardware that's actually a positive to humanity

  • "takes users seriously. Respect their filters, don’t price gauge, eschew dark patterns, that jazz"

    Is all this true because "you have a goal" or "we have strict rules"? because that's how most dating platforms start but when they grow the new people in the project don't care about the founders goal and it slowly enshittifies. That being said if its actually designed to give the users real control so they can prevent the enshittifcation then I'm very interested

    "I’m still fretting over where (geographically) to launch"

    If its an app why does there need to be a geo restricted launch? if there's a valid reason id say launch in the closest capital to you

    "how to get to sufficient user density without spending a cartload of cash on marketing"

    Unfortunately money does buy fame. it'll take ages to organically grow but using/creating a network will help (easier said then done)

    "not being seen as spamming product placement in unwanted communities"

    I feel that, its very dependent innit. you just gotta mention it without sounding like a shill tbh
