I just vibe-coded a little admin panel to see some stats and insights for statusscout.dev. It actually is used more than I expected. Now i need to get the third number from 0 to 1 😊 #buildinpublic
Just finished the first version of my amp project - it's able to control music on my sonos speakers via buttons and nfc cards 🥳 It was super interesting and I really learned a lot. I'll work on a small blog post of my process, the hardware and the code - but I guess this will take a while 😅
A friend just 3d printed the case for my amp media player project 😍 looking forward to putting it all together next week
Just mixed my own ClubMate like drink, which is less sweet, based on a recipe I found on hacker news*. I would give it a 6/10 which is pretty solid for the first version. Looking forward to customizing the recipe on the next try 😁 * news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4774...
I had a lot of fun lately tinkering with a little hardware project. It will be a small amp that plays music on my wifi speakers once a nfc album card is inserted 🎵 First test version is working - now i have to refine a lot of stuff and finalize it 😊
Just switched my personal website from Next.js to Astro: Next.js: 1.5 MB transferred with 340 kB of JS Astro: 400 kB transferred with 3 kB JS (my umami analytics script) Also, pagespeed insights went from 96% to 100% - now I only need to fix the a11y issue to have all on 100 😊 #buildinpublic
I've spent quite some time today to set up this little e-paper dashboard. There's still room for improvement, but I'm pretty happy already 😊
Ticking off some TODOs for my project statusscout.dev - still a lot to do until the next release with user accounts, notifications and more :) #BuildInPublic #WebDev
I've been working on accounts for statusscout.dev lately. I don't have as much time as I'd like to, so it's slow progress - but still progress :) Here's a small preview on the recent state 👀 My goal is to finish it till end of October #BuildInPublic
Working on a landing page for status scout. 💻 What do you think of this hero section? #buildinpublic
Making some good progress on my website health check :) I hope to publish the first version in August #BuildInPublic
Today - making my website monitoring / status dashboard project responsive 📱🖥️ #BuildInPublic
My website health dashboard is starting to look nice 😊 it also has a dark mode now 🌓😄 #BuildInPublic
Built a website health dashboard in my spare time inspired by needs at work - it includes various cron checks, custom test flows, and error notifications. Thinking about refining it, open-sourcing it and putting it online for others to use. But still a lot to do until it is ready :) #buildinpublic
wtf Without any notification, vercel put all my side projects down because I reached some limit... Upgraded to the pro plan for this month to quickly get them up again, but I'm definitely moving away from vercel and to my own server again. #buildinpublic
Interesting - AI seems to have picked up my bsky-embed web component and recommend it to users
Looks like the Google update in December killed my latest side project - numbers dropped to almost zero... #buildinpublic
Twitter/X is now completely dead for me. I was still lurking occasionally but since today I'm being redirected to x com. This is seems to be broken because of mobile Firefoxs Tracking protection 😅
Okay, it's already done with version 0.1.2 😄 it was pretty straightforward. You can now use the "search" option to display a feed for a hashtag :)
I started another side-project a while ago to compete with my friends by solving chess puzzles ♟️ I now started to polish it, and I am adding some features to release it to the public 😊 I hope to get it done by the end of the month #BuildInPublic
I just finished the first version of my #Bluesky web-component library 🥳 github.com/Vincenius/bs... Easily add your Bluesky feed to your website using a web component: <bsky-embed username="vincentwill.com"></bsky-embed> Let me know what you think :) #BuildInPublic
Finally replaced the Twitter link with Bluesky on my blog 😊 I also have a new idea for a side-project to work on - more about that soon #BuildInPublic
I just finished the last feature I wanted to add before launching my #OpenSource Mailchimp alternative 🥳 Now I will do some more testing and then add some screenshots + a demo video for the readme 😊 #BuildInPublic
My newsletter just crossed 1000 subscribers 🥳 I need to get better at monetizing because now the price also increases 😅
I just finished implementing a dark mode for workout.lol 🌘 I'm still amazed how simple it was using mantine.dev 😊
TIL, there is a native String function "localeCompare" that helps you sort ISO date strings
