So yeah, after working on coolify.io (open source and free) for 3 years, 2.5 years after my day job, people are pointing at me for why I do not respond to all the 300+ daily questions on Discord and why the fully rewritten v4 and improved beta has missing features (related to v3).

Also, the new version is a piece of 💩

😔

👋 What are your plans for the weekend?

Mine is renovating my kid's room while they are out with my parents.

(Is this count as #buildinpublic? 🤣)

🌶️People are tired of being on 20+ Discord servers - me too. Each library has its server, and it is near impossible to keep it up.

Not sure if the UI or what makes a Telegram community better, but it is just better. 👀

Come join me and the other 80 people!

You can share what you are building, get valuable feedback, share your ups and downs, roast your app, or just chitchat about anything.

(I'm still open to suggestions for new topics!)

Wololo - if you know what I mean.

I soon became a devrel without even noticing it. 😁

It is tough to live without coding. I'm clean for 5 days. 3 to go. Send positive vibes!

(I’m on vacation without a laptop)

@Imoptimal Woah. Not yet! 🤣

📢Today is the day for the announcement - I can't keep it. I was unsure when to do this post, now or after my vacation next week.

I will be working full-time on Coolify (and my other things) from next week! 😎🎉

No freelancing - for a while - so I can focus all my mental power on what I love. 🧠

It is a huge change! Never had no "job" in the past 13 years.

My income - which is currently 99% donations 💜 - is not enough for a family of 4. We have enough for a few months in the bank. It is scary, but I HAVE to try it!

Already have a game plan how to reach the point (around $3-4k MRR, currently ~$840 MRR) where we could live happily.

  1. Release Coolify Cloud (hosted & paid only). 💵
  2. Improve SafeTyper & do a lot of marketing. 📈
  3. Start live-streaming the whole process - why not?! Super scared of this. 😱
  4. Have 30+ ideas, and quickly build a few of them. ⚡

Come join me in my journey. 👋

But first, one week around Lake Balaton without laptop. 🌊

🤔How PTSR/PTSD called in software development?

When you mess up something, and you fear to release a new version after that.

🤔I'm thinking about the right time to make an announcement.

This week, but next week I would be on vacation.

Or

After the vacation so I would have more time to “ride the announcement”. 😅

@simeon Yeah, it makes sense! Thanks!

This morning got some false positives in server monitoring relying on curl. The latest version had a bug so the curl commands didn't go through. I hate waking up to something like this on a holiday morning, but it's part of the job. It's fun when you're full of energy, not fun when you just want to sleep.

@rolle I spent 2 hours yesterday, why is the same command (curl) on two servers behaving differently. 🥲

🧐Wait a moment. This means Coolify.io has been used by 26k repositories?

So 26k+ repositories are deployed with Coolify so far?? Some expert, please help me to understand this. 😁

@jorijn Yeah, strange. It should be a bug. Coolify is kinda popular, but not that much. 😅

@simeon got sunburned a bit, and swam in Lake Balaton. 😁 I miss a good coding session.

andrasbacsai, to fediverse
@andrasbacsai@fosstodon.org avatar

I love the #fediverse but I think there is still an open place for a central #socialmedia platform that is not owned by VCs, or a billionaire, but by the community itself.

What do you think? 🤔

@admin @thilo looks interesting! Thanks for tbe suggestion!

andrasbacsai,
@andrasbacsai@fosstodon.org avatar

@Mehrad thanks for the great points.

  1. Only true if you do that kind of “scam” that most VC-based apps are doing. Generous free tier for years (hook), then after years make it paid only (catch).

Also social media is mostly reads, which are way cheaper than writes.
2. I would make it paid after a certain number of reach. So if you get something from the platform (reach), you will need to give back.
3. SPOF as a service point of view? So if we shut it down, no one will reach their data?
