I'm working on something that might benefit more people than just me. I have a few questions: • How do you structure your dotfiles? • What kinds of settings do you keep in them? • How do you learn about settings or options you can add to them? • What applications do you include? • How do you bac...

Hey guys and girls, do you still use Heroku? I know they were hot like 5, 10 years ago but I'm not sure if that's true now? Thanks a bunch, Tom

Do you use automated error tracking like Sentry? Or maybe a self-written tool, like logging errors to Telegram? Basically, what’s your way of knowing about bugs in your apps?

Do you self-host anything? What tools or products? Comfortable running your own stack - or still feels intimidating? As for me, I self-host Plausible and my own tool, #telebugs. Curious how others use self-hosted stuff to ship better software.

Hey guys!   I am looking for feedback for a tool I'm building called Onboardbase to solve this problem. While prioritizing security, Onboardbase takes a different approach making it easy to use and collaborative, eliminating the tradeoff between developer productivity and security to raise employ...

Someone knows how to do it? I have a service that is fully dockerized, where each tenant runs inside its own Docker container. I want to develop a RESTful API to manage these containers, allowing me to create new instances and retrieve information about specific ones. But i does not have any ide...

Hi everyone, I am Oben from Up Ninja. I am releasing my project on Product hunt in 4 days, so it is time to throw myself to the fire 😀 I am working as a 9-5 software development engineer since 10 years and this is my first SaaS project.

Milestone: Added an instant refund button 🎉 Users can now get their money back in one click—no friction, no fuss. More than a feature: it’s my guarantee, and how I build trust. Confession: Spent 20% on specs and code. The other 80%? Stuck in bug hell—logging in/out, wrangling edge cases, teaching...

Hi 👋, I'm Ryan and I am building Optimize Toolset (https://optimizetoolset.com), a service that lets you setup automated tasks to run against your site(s).

I want to make a blog which will use /blog route & use Gatsby which will render a complete static page & then my other route /apps which will have all my apps & their server side logic like Payment on the same domain. Can I make this work like that ? One subdomain renders static pages & another r...

I already built an MVP I built the MSI installer to package my python code together with my freelance developer. However, the installer is kinda buggy and it doesn't seem a good use of time if we have to learn how to build a proper installer ourselves. If I post a job on UpWork however, I am not ...

Currently using Heroku and serving the files like so: app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public"))); I've looked into reverse proxy servers before but always found it complicated. . But from what I've read it would help out a lot. Maybe its time to make the leap. How simple is Nginx ...

Apart from pricing and data privacy, are there any other factors that contribute to the decision between self-hosting vs a managed solution?

Making a dating site. Imagine James "hearts" Sally's profile. I want a simple notification for Sally next time she logs in. Like Indie Hackers, where a little red number by your profile. My current idea is having both: {hearts: [james, fred, george]} {notifications: [james]} objects in th...

Making a dating site. It's nearly done, except I haven't sorted messaging between users yet. I've got two / three choices: a) NOT live messaging. Messages POST to backend. Requires a page refresh to display new messages. b) LIVE messaging! Making use of web sockets. I would also have to sav...

I can't get facebook to display the image I set in the og:image meta description in high quality. It only appears blurry even though I set it exactly to 1200x630px, and also it doesn't take the latest image I define either. Does it take days to update the new image?

I built a few different rails apps locally and am ready to deploy them but I'm not sure how I should deploy them (especially since I have 2 that I want to ship on the same server).  Some thoughts I had: • Digital Ocean VPS and manually install ruby, nginx, passenger etc and allocate resources? •...

Hey all, would love some constructive (and non constructive) criticism on my landing page. Is it easy to understand what we're all about? https://www.tryranger.dev/ Thanks a ton

Without going into a ton of detail, I have an idea for an application that logs PHP errors from a website. However, I'm torn between developing this as a SaaS subscription, or a standalone package which users can buy at a one-time cost. Option 1: I develop it as a SaaS, I have to pay for network...
