Experimenting with creating my own LLM coding benchmark The first test-run was already very interesting, but the tests need some improvements to make the results more meaningful. Later I plan to run it with different sub-agent combos. Maybe I'll also add the results to my website 🤔 #BuildInPublic

My first app made it to the Play Store 🥳 I created a port to android (with permission of the original dev) of an old DOS game from 1992 which I used to play a lot with my friends back in the day: play.google.com/store/apps/d... #buildinpublic

Did a small revamp of my old blog wweb.dev - swichted from next.js to astro and did a little cleanup to make it look more modern and more consistant :) Don't know if it makes sense to publish new content though - do people here still read blogs or is everybody only asking AI? #buildinpublic

Just discovered this great app to contribute to open street maps: streetcomplete.app

There will be a new HTTP method: QUERY. A way to fetch data using a body :) #webdev #buildinpublic www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc10008/

⭐ Starguessr #2 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 I scored 4,524 points guessing GitHub repo stars on starguessr.vincentwill.com Pretty good result for today 😄

Quick question: is anyone of you running an LLM locally for coding? How is your experience?

I recently installed linux mint on my old macbook pro 2017 as docker desktop was not support anymore by the os version and it was too old to update it. After fixing some initial issues like sound and wifi I'm pretty happy with it :)

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

I just revamped statusscout.dev. Instead of an all-in-one tool I changed its focus on security 🔒 #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 😊

The theme switcher of xkcd is amazing! Go check it out: xkcd.com

I spent some time last weekend to create this small side project where I share some of the stupid backgrounds I've used for my daily teams meetings :) You can find it here: meeting.pictures #BuildInPublic

I wrote a quick blog post on the most common security issues I've encountered while testing StatusScout against hundreds of websites: dev.to/vincenius/th...

Recently revamped my portfolio website: vincentwill.com what do you think? :) #buildinpublic

#Solopreneur and #BuildInPublic folks - are you active on LinkedIn and is it worth it?

For testing I started scanning random websites with statusscout.dev and I'm surprised how many of them leak sensitive files. It found something on around 25% of the websites. Mostly it's some kind of test.php with phpinfo() or /wp-admin but sometimes also package-lock.json or pipeline files.

It feels weird when people call me "bro" in reddits comment section, which happens quite often lately. I guess I'm getting old

Just published the new version of statusscout.dev including monitoring and much more 🥳 Before officially launching, I want to do more testing - I'll give away 6 months of free premium for anyone who is willing to test and give me some feedback :) #BuildInPublic #WebDev

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

TIL there is an <output> tag in HTML #webdev denodell.com/blog/html-be...

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

I've decided on a name for the website health check - I'll call it Status Scout :) The first working version is now online: statusscout.dev Feel free to try it out, and please report all bugs you find 😄 #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

Super happy that Thunderbird is now also available for Android. Just switched, and it is way faster than my previous Mailing App.

I took some time today to implement some small feature requests for bsky-embed. With version 0.2.5 you can now: - disable images - disable videos - disable video autoplay #buildinpublic github.com/Vincenius/bsky-embed

A while ago, I've built workout.lol - an open source fitness app. After some licensing issues with the exercise videos, I sold the app to some guy who just abandoned it. So I'm really happy to see that @snouzy.bsky.social forked the project and improved it a lot. Go check it out! workout.cool

Which LLM do you use for coding tasks?

TIL about the browser extension "I still don't care about cookies" that gets rid of most cookie banners. addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/a... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/i-sti...

This looks really nice: vert.sh I'll try it next time I need to convert something

Yo, I need some opinions here. What do you use for sending newsletters and transactional emails? #buildinpublic

Switching from vercel to a self-hosted coolify instance to save some bucks. Works great so far! I think coolify will be my default for future projects #buildinpublic

Anyone ever used AR glasses for work (like xreal one)? Would be interested if it's worth it as I probably have to get rid if my desk soon.

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
