Your landingpage looks quite nice.

However just at looking at it, it is not clear for me that "friendly analytics" mean privacy first.
And IMO you should push that privacy aspect. I guess it will sell well, because of GDPR. People are now way more concerned about privacy. And privacy first products will need to come up.

However, as I am EU based I would not use your service, because of GDPR.

I think you will need to enable data export in the starter plan, because of Art. 20 GDPR "Right to data portability".
So even you are not collecting as much information as google, you are processing data and for any EU company it is important to know where the servers are located. However I can't find anything about it. Are there located in the EU ? Are they in the US? Are you a PrivacyShield member?

The video is quite nice, however pretty unimportant for me . I would rather see some screenshots of the product in action.

I don't think you can produce good quality stickers by yourself, without a investment in hardware.
It also really depends on what kind of stickers.

There are many many variations, custom shapes, kiss out stickers, clear stickers, transfer stickers and more.

If you want cheap ones, you can get pretty good quality from china.

Hey,

so you want to turn your web app into an mobile app, right?

Well your stack is quite okay for it.
You just need to add an api layer on top of it. So that you mobile app can communicate over an rest api with your backend.

Whats your reasons to switch from vue to react?

I'm usually a React user in my day job, but wanted to try out Vue to see if I like its approach. It ended up just feeling more.. disjointed(?) I guess. So really just a preference in approach to writing code. :)

Stackoverflow does it quite this way. If you ask a new question you get a list of releated questions if anything related is found.

Well thats not really possible. As Alfred does not have support for these kind of things.
You actually should get a message that a new version is available after a release in npm.

The only other solution would be to use Packal.

www.packal.org/

But as far as I remember people need to install it also, to manage their alfred packages.
And not sure how good the publishing workflow is with packal.

I have a few open source packages.

Pros:

  • You learn a lot. Like really a lot. About common bugs, build system and language specific stuff.
  • People think you are omniscient because you are the maintainer
  • You learn a lot about remote debugging and finding potential bugs with minimal information people provide
  • You learn how to properly ship software, versioning, changelogs and also test. I once published a fix which was broken and soon after I got like 20 issues about the new update is not working. You'll shit bricks if you know that thausands of people relying on you to properly ship working version
  • You mostly will learn how to test software
  • You get a lot of traction (got a few job interview invitations because of my github profile)
  • You learn how to make decisions in terms of the scope of your software and the features. You need to see the whole picture, while your users only see their use case.

Cons:

  • People are sometimes, bitchy and demanding and also rude.
  • In certain stages it is a ton of work, which does not involve coding like writing documentation, and support.
  • Support. Most of the issues created in my repos are support stuff or questions.
  • You will mostly not make any money out of it. Yes there are opencollective and patreon or donations. However my feeling is that even the really big repos get only peanuts out of it. I also tried a donation concept, however it is not working.
