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.

Thanks Jeff for explaining in deatils.
I'll look to amazon s3 again. Setting this feel too complex :)

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?

Was about to suggest S3 as @jefftriplett did. Also take a look at Cloudflare R2 - zero egress charges last I checked.

I'm not sure what the answer is to this, but getting hit up for invites via Telegram is my biggest source of Telegram SPAM. Several have never posted after I gave them an invite which I don't get.

My bad idea might be to allow people to join in a sudo "shadow banned" status and after 30 days they can post publicly if they have hit a low level of threshold or else maybe they get recycled.

Yes, I might add a different tier to WIP at some point. It would increase code complexity a lot, but enabling people to demonstrate their value by actively using WIP is a much better way than the questionaire, etc.

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?

I don't remember what my second model was, but they weren't quite built as well as my Shure E3c was. I went through a few lightning adaptors before I gave up.

I owned a pair of Shure E3c (monitors), and they were the best-sounding and fitting earphones I have ever worn. I finally switched to wireless Bluetooth mostly out of convenience because the iPhone dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack. I might have to order one of their newer models now.

hah, I still use the 3.5mm-to-lightning adaptor for the iPhone with the Shures, and feel like a bit of a dinosaur.

I’m on my 3rd pair - the first two lasted about 3 years each, and then had cable issues. Post-2014 they’ve been indestructible.
