Congrats, and I made an account, and didn't find any doctors in my area, but the signup/login/profile photos, etc. all worked. The email link in the sidebar doesn't work for me. You could include a notice about which cities are supported so far or something?
Sidenote I've always wanted to go to Accra! Best of luck with this project.
Thanks so much Luke for taking your time to check out my project & with the feedbacks you sent, are really good. I'll check on the lil bugs and solve them asap. Can we connect on LinkedIn or Twitter to talk more. Much Appreciated!
Hey I work in edtech a bit too! It's been challenging, for sure, compared to some of the other markets. I met teachers that ended up using our product on outschool.com/
Hey I installed and tested enhancing the seagull--everything worked on my 2018 macbook, and the quality of the output looks really good. I could see myself using and paying for this product in the future when working with archival video clips for my product or marketing.
For photo for example, I paid ~$79 for Topaz Photo AI, but they increased their pricing to $159, and I probably would've paid more for it since I use it so often: www.topazlabs.com/topaz-photo…
Cool, yep, it's working for me now. I can add to watchlists and everything--this is a cool product. I don't think I can see my watchlists yet.
I threw in the towel on React, Vue, and the like unless they're being used by some other library I need. I've had multiple projects start out in React and then have to trash it weeks or months down the road for one reason or another.
Now I deleverage almost everything from client js and just do basic django with a tiny bit of vanilla js. There was a version of Mused with React/prerender/etc but it was so buggy and terrible for rendering a simple page, I scrapped it.
In Dec last year, Mused got discovered on social after a post on HackerNews -- definitely unexpected, but then people made screenrecords of our tours and posted them social media w/backlinks, etc, and we ranked higher.
Got it, okay, I created an account under my [email protected] email (previous was my gmail), and I logged in, but when logged in, I see a page with header/footer and no body content @ /best-chrome-extensions. When I click title or other links, I perpetually see the empty content section in layout. Screenshot: storage.googleapis.com/mused/…
How do you like Nuxt? I finally gave up on client side frameworks after spending so much time with them ugh.
Ah thanks for the notice!
I'll fix the issue but if you refresh it should work though.
I'm using Nuxt 3 for this projects, and some things don't seem very mature yet. For example, using auth while having SSR is not trivial to me. But it's probalbly the easiest way to use SSR and have pages optimized for Google, while still having some dynamic pages and a SPA feeling.
Also, I'm now using Netlify functions and I somewhat like it, but things are sometimes not as intuitive as having a more classical API using Express as I was used to before.
I almost went for Next.js as it's more mature (libs such as shadcn/ui look incredible) but as I know Vue way better, I went for Nuxt. Nuxt & Next look very similar though.
Are you using React without Next with Mused ?
I had a quick look into SEMRush and it's seems you did a good job getting it indexed by Google.
It seems your traffic went off around december 1st 2022 : Is there anything special you did there?

Hey this is a cool product, I haven't developed a Chrome Extension before, so I'm not your target audience, but I tried to sign up and create a user account to test this but never received the email.
Otherwise, congrats on the ssr, that's always such a chore.
Do you think you need to paginate your sitemap? I've been meaning to also for a range of urls around the same size.
Thanks for the feedback!
I fixed the issue with the signup so it should work now.
Yes, maybe it would be better to paginate the sitemap, because it's getting a bit large now.

It's an interesting question, and I'll check out those books. I've always wondered about this--I grew up in a rural area and it didn't really ever enter our mind to enjoy life. I started as a writer before anything in tech, and then the products that I worked on just became a creative obsession like an essay or novel.
I totally agree that freelancing too much can kill the soul and make you miss things because you're constantly working toward deadlines and under client decisions. But if you get to know a small segment of customers, that could help for building a product?
I used to spend most of my days just going really nice places, but it wasn't meaningful. Cicero has this book called On duties or De oficiis, and reading it earlier this year for the better or worse made me end up moving back to my home country.
I guess along with enjoyment, what do you find most meaningful? I kind of just stuck with that through thick and thin, but I don't think that's the "right" way to do things--just my take.
I've always thought that programming must be a lot like writing a book - haven't written a book, but I can see some parallels.
I also realized something similar to what you did recently - and it became increasingly obvious after my last backpacking trip to southeast asia a few months ago. Basically, I realized that you can only see so many temples, beaches, waterfalls, cultural sights, bars, and go on so many adventures before it all gets a bit tired and starts to feel pointless. I think a better way to live is to do truly meaningful work and be located wherever is best to do that work and where your community is, even if it means going back to your home country or staying in the same place for a long time instead of being nomadic.
I'm personally gearing up to move to another country to extend my financial runway to be able to do indie hacking as long as possible, but I don't plan to hop between cities/countries every few weeks. ~3-6 months per location at minimum until I find somewhere that works for me, then I'll stay for years. I'd like to find somewhere where I can build a friend group and join a community of people who are doing the same thing (looking at Thailand which has options like KoHub + tons of indie hackers in BKK and Chiangmai), and I think that'll be good for my mental health too.
