I am currently working on a platform for authors to write nursery and kindergarten books for children. It’s pretty much in alpha stage. https://storybench.app

I’m currently spending most of my time building a social media posting platform for https://hellokea.com. This will be an additional tool for small businesses, complementing their helpdesk solution. It’s been interesting to build the entire UI using htmx, aiming to make it comparable in performance and user experience to SPAs.

I have been working on my side project Mailboxfiler for almost 2 years. Haven't reached the $500 mark yet but kind of too close. https://mailboxfiler.com/

Try installing tilix and 'Oh-my-zsh'. I did that to my desktop and couldn't be any happier.

I use Nextcloud for almost all the stuff I do in day to day life. I run it in docker swarm mode on a 5yr old pc running Debian @home. Freemyip for updating my dynamic IP address

What I use it for ? 1. Notes (Use FSnotes and sync md files) 2. Keypassxc for passwords (sync it using Nextcloud) 3. Photos upload (From Amazon & Google) 4. My recordings & videos 5. Documents (Moved from G Drive) 6. Bookmarks

Where I would like to see improvements? Photos - badly want this to be usable on mobile phones

I am happy overall with Nextcloud. The only time I screwed up is when I didn't know about the upgrade process. Tried moving from 18→20 and totally gone wrong.
