The project isn't even open for sign ups yet, but the internet already wants to poke at it. Got a wave of: GET /docker/.env GET /docker-compose.yaml GET /docker-compose.override.yml ... Moments like these always remind me to double check if I left something open somewhere. ๐Ÿค” #buildinpublic

It took me about a week to get up and running with Helix. Now I know more about LSPs (Language Server Protocol) than I ever wanted. ๐Ÿ˜… With VS Code everything just works magically. Meanwhile I just found out that "HTML LSP" is an actual thing. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ My touch typing is also improving, which is nice.

I try to learn at least one new tech every year. It keeps me from becoming the classic grumpy developer who says "things were better in 2009". ๐Ÿ˜… Last year it was 3D printing and ChatGPT. Before that Docker and Devcontainers. ๐Ÿงต #buildinpublic

I know just enough Vim to edit config files without crying, but that's about it. While looking at options I found Neovim and Helix as modern alternatives. After trying both, the Helix "selection -> action" philosophy seems to be closer to how I think.

So my next experiment is to use Helix for an extended period and see how it affects my workflow. If my battery life improves a bit too, even better. ๐Ÿ˜„ By the way, I had trouble copy/pasting this post from the editor, ha-ha... ๐Ÿ˜…

This year I wanted something more radical. I'm very used to GUI IDEs like VS Code, but I always have a Terminal open anyway for running projects and handling Git commands. So I wondered: what if I just lived inside the Terminal for a while?

One step closer. Now components can also synchronize between pages. ๐Ÿš€ But the code needs a serious cleanup... ๐Ÿ˜… #buildinpublic

My kitchen scale always beeps when I turn it on. It even has a "mute" button, but it forgets it's muted. The other day I finally snapped, opened it up, and cut the beeper cable. It's silent now. Yet every time I turn it on, I still hear the beep in my mind. ๐Ÿ˜… Shouldn't have waited this long...

Iโ€™ve been working on custom components in remake lately. Itโ€™s rough around the edges, but itโ€™s finally starting to work! Still a lot to fix though. #buildinpublic

When Iโ€™m not building online experiences, Iโ€™m busy creating spooky offline ones with my wife at our English academy. Not sure if the kids enjoyed it more or we did. ๐ŸŽƒ Happy Halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป #buildinpublic

Working on the media library & Unsplash integration for remake. Now the grid lets you preview images even if they donโ€™t fit in the box, with a nice horizontal or vertical animation. Next step: getting custom components to work. ๐Ÿค” Once that's done, I can start accepting alpha users. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ #buildinpublic

Not every weekend has to be productive. Sometimes the best thing to โ€œbuildโ€ is just a pumpkin with friends. ๐ŸŽƒ #buildinpublic

I've been writing the terms of service and privacy policy for remake, and it really changes your perspective. When you sign up somewhere, you just skip that stuff (๐Ÿคซ). But when you have to write your own, you see how much every line actually matters. ๐Ÿคฏ How do you create your TOS? #buildinpublic

I've been around the build-in-public crowd for a while now and noticed something kind of obvious: people who build stuff they actually want to use keep going much longer. So yeah, I think the best advice still holds. Build what you'd actually use.

Me: Iโ€™ll just tweak the layout a bit before bed. Also me, 3 hours later: โ€œWhat if I rebuild the editor architecture entirely?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜… Thankfully, I resisted the urge. ๐Ÿ˜„ #buildinpublic

Slowly building remake, one publish button at a time. Sneak peek of the new publishing flow. And yes, there's confetti. ๐ŸŽ‰ Can't wait to open it up for early users soon. What's your "confetti moment" when you ship something? #buildinpublic

I was chasing a weird Docker issue: every deploy restarted my services, even with no code changes. After hours of debugging, I found out BuildKit was changing SHAs every build. Disabled it... then realized a Docker update fixed it all. Lesson: update first, debug later ๐Ÿ˜… #buildinpublic

Lately, Iโ€™ve been observing how people around me interact with modern tech. Most are barely scraping by. Theyโ€™re faced with confusing interfaces, bloated features theyโ€™ll never use, and walls of marketing speak. Itโ€™s easy to forget: weโ€™re building for them, not just ourselves. #buildinpublic

Interesting read: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0... My favorite part is: In the Who Cares Era, the most radical thing you can do is care. In a moment where machines churn out mediocrity, make something yourself. Make it imperfect. Make it rough. Just make it. #buildinpublic #solodev

Yesterday was... eventful. A 15-hour power outage taught me a lot about redundancy. ๐Ÿ˜… Especially when your Docker containers refuse to start without internet. This didn't happen in the old #php times. Lesson learned: test things without internet connection. ๐Ÿงจ #buildinpublic #solodev

Sometimes I feel like Iโ€™m adding more TODO comments than actual code. ๐Ÿ˜… But at least future improvements are clearly laid out. #buildinpublic #solodev

OMG, Iโ€™ve been so busy on getting โšก remake to a minimum lovable product state that I totally missed that real people have started signing up for the waitlist! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I have to speed up now. ๐Ÿ’ช What are some good ways to keep in touch with people on the waitlist? #buildinpublic #solodev

A month ago I could barely center a text in remake, now I can almost create a landing page. ๐Ÿš€ Still, so many bugs, and UX issues to fix... ๐Ÿ˜… #buildinpublic

โ€œYour best position is your next position.โ€ Probably the best advice. The key is to keep moving and avoid sitting in one position (๐Ÿฆ) all day. ๐Ÿ‘

Today I realized that when I started web development, I could fit every CSS property in my head (except `azimuth`, the name stuck, but I had to look it up again). Now I need a second monitor just for the docs. Simpler times. ๐Ÿ˜… #buildinpublic

After an intense workout, my muscles are tired, but my mind feels clearer, and I feel better for the rest of the day. Whatโ€™s your go-to hack for getting in the flow? #buildinpublic

The main thing I like about building a product is that it never gets boring. Thereโ€™s always something new to learn, something to fix, or something to improve. The hard part is just deciding which fire to put out first. ๐Ÿš€ #buildinpublic #indiehacking

3 AM hustleโ€ฆ Just one more task to crush before calling it a night. ๐Ÿ’ช #buildinpublic

They say there are three tough challenges in Computer Science: 1. naming things 2. cache invalidation 3. centering a div on a website I made sure to implement the 3rd one first in remake. ๐Ÿ™Œ #buildinpublic (not much else works yet ๐Ÿ˜…) PS: #tailwind is great!

Feels great to finally be at a point where I can share some of my projectโ€™s progress! ๐ŸŽ‰ #buildinpublic

Looks like #AI agents are syncing up! ๐Ÿ˜… I asked #DeepSeek and #ChatGPT for a joke (twice) and got the exact same ones. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Everyone talks about MVPs, but I recently came across a new term: Minimum Lovable Product (MLP). The idea is to go beyond something that barely works and create something that customers can truly love. This is a good way to differentiate your product from the rest. ๐Ÿ’ช #buildinpublic

My HP laser printer eats toners for lunch but never uses them up completely. So I took apart the leftover toners lying around and combined the toner dust into one. It worked! Maybe the saying, โ€œyouโ€™re a programmer, you can fix my printerโ€ is true after all. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

By the way, I combined 4 toners and the dust overflew, which means in normal situations about 30% of the dust would be wasted. ๐Ÿค”

Sometimes I get so caught up in the #buildinpublic feed that I forget thereโ€™s a whole world outside it, full of activity and interesting conversations. ๐Ÿ˜…

This weekend, I made my first-ever animation for my landing page to showcase how the website-building experience might look like. I was proud of it... Until the first review: "It's too simplistic and non-flashy." True. Back to the drawing board, I guess. ๐Ÿ˜„ Not every day is a win. #buildinpublic

Today, I spent some time copywriting for the landing page. Thank god for ChatGPT. Donโ€™t get me wrong, it writes like a marketer on drugs, but all I need are little nuggets here and there to get my creative juices flowing. All in all, it was a productive day. Next up: design. #buildinpublic
