I wrote about mine last month: jefftriplett.com/2023/default…
Some that stuck out that I immediately miss when I'm without:
- Bartender
- Backblaze
- Obsidian
- 1Password
Thank you for apps and mentioning your blog post. I am aware of this series of default apps posts and actually want to reach out to people who posted them. :) So you are first who replied for a message from the future hahaha.
I think Git LFS maxes out at 1GB (or 2GB) so 4 GB is going to be too much. Packing is a little different because I have some 6GB and 8GB Docker images in their packaging product, but that is probably more hoops to jump through.
Amazon's S3 might be a good cheaper solution or even Backblazes bulk object storage product. I think it's $5 or $10 a month and would more than cover your files sizes + quoted downloads.
You should be able to cache these for free via CloudFlare www.cloudflare.com
Since you mentioned it was open source, you could use a GitHub Release and link to the release files for free.
Thanks, I'll check cloud flare.
But, my 3d render files is around 4 gb+. Github will allow to use it with heavy traffic and bandwidth?

If your end goal is to forward mail to one account (or multiple accounts) then I have used forwardemail.net/ for the last 3 or 4 years. They are ~$36 USD a year and worth every penny.
Wow this looks awesome! Will definitely check it out, thanks ❤️
While pricey AF, I get a lot of value out of ahrefs and it gives you something to measure. I would do a trial or buy it for a month, export your reports, and then cancel it.
I am on ProductHunt, but I have never launched anything on it yet. If your product has more universal appeal then it's probably worthwhile. Hell, it's probably worthwhile just to go through the exercise/achieve the level of polish that it takes to launch something there. I'm pretty well established in my industry so I don't get as many benefits from ProductHunt and my projects that I don't write about as much here are for normal people who are several degrees of separation removed from ProductHunt.

This seems like a good win and transcripts are great search engine content.
Hehe, I recorded them in Descript and actually already have the transcripts 🙈
I picked up three Dell S2722QC 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitors at the end of the year, and they are great. They were reasonable priced and have enough input ports that they can easily run a FireTV, Switch, etc if you want to double them for entertainment too.
I have run three displays on a 2019 MacBok Pro and a Mac Mini M2 Pro over USB-C and they work drama free. My only small nitpick is they do not have a remote (no big loss) but still easier to use than the four or five buttons on the bottom.
I have never thought about it and I can't say it would be as useful to me. I project-hop all the time and try to get a few things done on a few projects.
My release cycles are automated so my time-to-release is ~2 to 5 minutes from when I git push to any of my projects to when tests run and then code is deployed (I prefer containers for the ease of promoting/demoting images in production.) This feels healthy/good enough.
My time-to-fix is tied to how quickly I notice an issue or someone reports it to me.
I PR bigger features, but I don't fear developing on main for my solo projects because I have tests running before code is deployed. This saves me time and frustration.
For clients and bigger teams, I PR every time and have different considerations, but it's not the end of the world if I need to fall back on a previous version for a bit while I fix something. 90% of the time, my changes are small and iterative enough that there's not much to have to worry about breaking.
Good insights - thanks! I agree if you have a solid test suite you don't really need to worry about working directly on main. I think I'm probably in a similar boat to you - PR bigger features, and do small updates directly on main.
Would you care at all how your progress compares to other projects, in terms of time-to-release / failure rates etc, if that info were available?
Groups or topics might work well. That way people can share, post, join, or read about a particular subject that's more in line to their interests than the existing firehose format.
Have you seen home.omg.lol yet? I signed up for a 10-year account recently because the app works well, and it was $50 ($5/year).
I point it out to you because it does an amazing amount of community building as add-on value which I think is brilliant. Not sure how many of these are relevant to WIP, but I bet reading their offerings might give you some ideas.
I converted from Buffer to Typefully because I like the IDE and scheduling tool better than anything else. Typefully has good X/Twitter integration but also supports Mastodon and LinkedIn.
They also support Zapier which helped me post to Mastodon for a year or so before they added native support. So Zapier can probably get you anything that's missing or you could use their webhook to roll your own.
