We realised that Instagram stopped putting the bio / description of an account into the `og:description` meta tag and instead fills it with follower statistics. We haven't found a straightforward way of getting the bio instead. It seems all roads lead to scraping. Does anybody have an idea on ho...

Besides TypeSense, what other Algolia alternatives do you recommend? Also, InstantSearch.js alternatives welcome to be namedropped.

It started as hacking for fun in December out of curiosity about how to build web analytics. Almost three months later, v.1.0 is ready! It's a simple self-hosted web analytics built with node and PostgreSQL. Install is straightforward, update config, run a few npm cmd, and that's it. I also inclu...

Lokus is a tool that aims to make launching and writing content to a personal website as easy as creating a Twitter account and Tweeting.  I would love to have some feedback on the tool from fellow creators here. The landing itself is WIP, but I'm looking for feedback on the product itself. Pl...

Hello everyone! We currently have 1000 locations in the directory, but we don't currently have photos for the vast majority of them.

I'm setting up a wait-list form for an upcoming product launch. How should I effectively manage the influx of emails from interested customers? Has anyone experienced managing a wait-list before? How did you handle the emails and notify individuals about the product launch? Your insights and exp...

I just posted a Todo on this but this really should have been a milestone! I launched the documentation site for Splendid Layouts — which is a product I've been working on for the past 2 months. This is literally the best layout system I've seen on the internet. I can make pretty complex layo...

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?

Hey peeps. I'm looking around for communities specifically dedicated to freelance work - whether for software development or otherwise. Specifically I'm trying to find some more places to get feedback on the fixed-price model I'm testing for #niksoftware. The Roast post gave me some good feedbac...

I'm planning to re-factor my app, littlewinsapp.com, from the ground up to be Mac native (I just got my first Mac a few weeks ago 😁). I have some builder experience (WordPress, PHP scripting, JS copy/paste and ChatGPT) and lots of web development, but no MVC pattern experience.  Looking for a ...

This is sort of a followup on a previous question I wrote (link below). You don't have to read it, but it can provide some context. Otherwise jump to "The Q" below. https://wip.co/posts/do-you-ever-come-to-wip-wishing-you-could-post-something-other-than-a-project-update-todo-win-or-question-dk7...

I'm many things. Marketer, Builder, no-code hacker, WordPress nerd, Tech Veteran.  One thing I'm not: Engineer.  If you ask me to build something in Bubble, or WordPress, I'm quite adept. I even know how to slap together JS to make things look neat (see my app at littlewinsapp.com).  But I'm n...

Hey peeps. I'm looking for advice about a one-page site I'm designing for offering productized Laravel work. https://niksoftwaretest.carrd.co/ Background: I intend this to fit in as a side hustle - regular, repeatable, fixed-scope work in my skillset. I've done some moonlighting before and have...

I launched Shipped on Twitter. The launch got very good feedback from the community, with 350+ likes and 300+ bookmarks. I sold some licenses in the first 24 hours too.

My brother Onur Oztaskiran and I have been working to move the previous Notion database of product design resources (http://productdesign.cool) to the new site, and the new design and platform will enable us to improve it further. What's next: ✢ Deals ✢ Tutorials category ✢ Search ✢ Improved fi...

Hi all, So we've started to advertise "SSO" for our enterprise offering with the plan of just building it if anyones actually inquires 😁 We're using Supabase self-hosted (which doesn't support SSO) but are thinking about switching to Nextauth.js. I looked at the Boxyhq integration but they're ch...

Everyone has their own life path and choice of products. For me, it seems like I have a fetish for creating products for Apple and using their APIs… For four years now, I’ve been making a player for Apple Music, and on November 20, 2022, my wife and I came up with and started working on ASO.dev.[...

I'm a wannabe software programmer, I have no experience with coding/development. I'm going through freecodecamp's courses rn. I have a ton of ideas, I'm a serial entrepreneur but never took action on my tech/AI ideas. My background is real estate. How do I build my ideas with no real coding know...

Hey, if you are using PostHog, could you explain the pros and cons vis-a-vi Mixpanel? And if you recommend another "product intelligence" tool, could you write it down?
