Thanks.

This is the second front of the war that most of could have at least some impact.

What a nice analogy. I’ll borrow it in the future.

Have you tried Lenna.io? I’d guess no, but it could regard some of the pains. (Disclosure - a product I work on)

I haven’t faced this issue myself, however, lots of people from India and some other countries have this experience.

I’d assume it’s something to do with collecting recurring CC payments from Indian cards. That’s inherently difficult.

I've tried it. I've built a few products as well. Production level. Again, it's amazing; however, you simply can't beat the usefulness of ActiveRecord (and a number of other gems) with Phoenix.

Again, I'm saying this within the context of data heavy web apps.

Not exactly a resource but more of an advice - learn software development. Unless you are familiar to some extent, you will always be dependent on a competent software engineer, and that will make it much harder to build a lifestyle business.

Second advice, use Ruby on Rails or Django as a web framework and don't follow after the complexities of JS and other newcomers. Phoenix (Elixir) is awesome but that will require much more efforts and expertise compared to the established and time-tested Rails and Django.

Good luck!

p.s. I'm writing this as a person managing a lifestyle business (LibHunt & SaaSHub).

p.p.s. I'd also recommend getting into the IndieHackers community for inspiration and shared experience.

Does anyone know why this was flagged?

"The author’s account had over 100,000 followers and was around 14 years old, he said"

I.e. be careful of criticising Musk, the king of FREE speech, if you wish to use X/Twitter.

p.s. in the meantime, you will be OK with posting hate speech, Nazi speech, porn, etc...

Do you have experience with Ruby on Rails?

I've built apps both with Elixir/Phoenix and with Rails. Yes, the Elixir/Phoenix stack is amazing and is definitely superior over Rails in several ways; however, with regards to Bootstrapping and releasing a real-world app/business (web based), Rails is still the king.

If you are into Music, you can give a go to Urban DJ https://urbanpoll.com/dj. It's an ongoing tournament of ordering 5 songs from a specific topic. Disclaimer - I've built it. It'd be fun if more people took part though.

I'd bet you will never find the answer to this.

and I bet this video is about to be watched MILLIONS of times more compared if Qatar didn't get involved in this obnoxious way.

I've built an opinionated RSS reader/tracker that was built around this - It works with links only. This way, you have consistent experience, and the author gets visits to his website.

You can give it a go here: https://lenns.io. I'd be happy to get some feedback. Thanks.

Please, do not build more JS frameworks (see-no-evil emoji).

What's wrong with Liquid?

I'd guess the right-wing ones won't.

Now, please, let’s discover and discuss how TikTok is designed … I think it’s even worse.

Similar to E.Musk. Maybe a little less obvious.

Yes, it can be added, but manually going over all form. Also, how would it protect against a CSRF without the token in place?

Note: I totally agree that we should strive to go HTML first. However, this specific example is a bit unfair.

For the sake of being precise - the “form_with” is not equivalent to the presented HTML. The form_with helper injects an additional hidden input element that makes sure that the form cannot be submitted “illegally”.

if it may help, I will get siter.io on SaaSHub's newsletter this week.

Good. The bigger the brain drain, the faster Russia won't be able to be a viable threat.

As they say - this escalated quickly.

Has anyone read any of his books? What do you think?

Good on them. I removed the Twitter integration from all my projects two weeks ago.

The good old web in its glory. Still up and alive. I love it.

https://lenns.io/ - it may not be exactly ready for prime time (lacking communication & marketing); however, it's been fully functional and my RSS reader of choice for the last 2 years. Why - a single source cannot overwhelm my feed; I can set priorities to sources and categories;

TLDR - Focus on the journey

Quote: "Rather, you must understand that it is the building, not the result of that building, that matters.

Let’s break it down:

You spend 99.99% of your time on the journey of building a startup, and 0.01% basking in the temporary euphoria of “success,” such as selling it to someone else or ringing the bell on the morning of your IPO.

If that moment even comes, which it most likely will not. Often 100% of your time is spent on the journey, 0% in euphoric ecstasy."

...and I'm sure we are going to see more of this in the foreseeable future.
