When I moved out from my parents I took a box with aprox 100 floppies. I was pleasently surprised when only 2 were unreadeable all others were ok. The other box with CDs had a much higher "fault rate". Go figure.

Can't agree more. Thank you for standing up! I'm doing it for 20yrs (currently with mail-in-a-box) and only wish more people were doing it.

https://ShipmentPlanner.com - optimizing shipments to Amazon and 3PL. Got some clients and now I'm on to marketing (mostly emailing and LinkedIn outreach). It's tough.

"Thought it might help others here too."

I sincerely hope OP didn’t post it 25 times, though.

https://ShipmentPlanner.com It"s a tool to help shipping goods to warehouses for ecommerce (amazon) sellers.

Just made a landing page and then transfered its style to the app using Claude AI. Was so impressed that I paid for a supscription immediately.

Will polish the app and plan to launch next month.

100%! I was using Teamviewer but got frustrated by their licencing. RustDesk is excellent, works on mobile too. No affiliation just a happy user...

You gave up too early! I host my own server on a 5$ DO droplet. Have >100 clients, RustDesk never failed me once. Works like a charm.

This is what I try to follow - serving html with prefetch data from the server, what could be done on client I do on client to minimize server round trips, minimum css (responsive layout) and vanilla js. Separate web pages as needed. Somehow that sounds weird and oldfashioned with my colleagues since I'm using only html, css and vanilla js? I don't miss a thing...

Got my first client alert at 8:30 utc+2 (cest) it's 11 hours now. Miss hourly updates just to get the feeling someone is still working on it. It's hard for technicians but is becoming hard for me as well... I'm with Contabo for 6 years, (almost) never had any issues. Hope they fix it soon.

twooclock — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 05:53:51 +0000

For my users having a PWA is completely irrelevant. Once they add it to home screen it's an app for them (I don't even bother to explain anymore). It might be a discoverability issue since they can't find you in app stores though.

You'd be surprised! Cleared my childhood house recently and got a box of floppies. Only 3 out of about a hundred were unreadeable! Had much worse results with my old CDs. Go figure...
