Why doesn't @openrouter.bsky.social have image models? would be super handy. I guess you would have to retrieve the output as a blob or something rather then them chucking it in an S3 as the scale would be hard to manage within costs

Ollama seems to be losing its gpu acceleration with amd and falling back to CPU. Or just simply not becoming available after some idle time.

Server (behind Tailscale and Traefik) has simply decided not to allow for HTTP(s) traffice, so no access to my remote Code server or AI service. No idea why, when or how it happened. Not a massive priority to fix though.

About to start looking into implementing RevenueCat for payments in my flutter app (with NestJS Backend). I'm assuming its good, does anyone else have recommendations? I need the easiest thing possible (because I'm nearing app building burnout) #saas #buildinpublic #flutter

Google login now working in flutter. Now just storing the jwt and attaching it to all requests to the api and we are in a beta. Starting to get excited. #flutter #buildinpublic

Flutter auth ended up being harder than expected. Not using firebase as I've got my own API, between different certs hidden around the place and error messages that say nothing it's safe to say I'll be working on this for a while. #flutter #nestjs

App is feature complete. (in terms of what it needs to do). Next step, #Auth with #Flutter and #NestJS. Seen some good resources around so I'm hoping that its going to be straight forward. Then onto monetization with RevenueCat (i think the best solution) Not long till launch now #buildinpublic

Got new business cards designed by @camilajamescj.bsky.social. Turned out great, new logo and everything. I haven't even thought about a logo for this project in 10 or so years so its always good for a bit of a refresh! Really happy with the result, makes the side project kinda "official"

Looking at doing some AI generated images for a project, basically an image generated by some user collected data. Apart from OpenAI what are some of the good models. Not sure if anything text-to-image works with openrouter, but if someone knows if thats wrong let me know. #ai #buildinpublic

Flutter is actually pretty decent. Not sure why it's taken me so long to actually try get out a mobile app, but teaming it with my normal nestjs backend so far has been a breeze.

OK so got sidetracked and built a messaging platform, back onto the #flutter stuff for the next little bit. Hopefully get my little app knocked out in a couple of weeks. Problem with having a few concurrent projects (one with a bit of traction and one without). Prioritization is hard.

Watching this whole TikTok saga play out has been wild.

Scratch those last plans. Assetto Corsa EVO is downloading and I really want to give it a go. So it seems like it will be a Sim racing weekend rather than a side project one. #simracing #assettocorsa

Aim today is to build out a One Time Password module for #nestjs, been thinking about how I want to do auth and OTP seems like the best way to do it. Simple, email as primary key (kinda) and available for shared email accounts like [email protected] #angular #webdev #mongodb #buildinpublic

Been a few days since I moved my Dev task management back to #notion and so far so good, quick and easy to set up an issue board, templates and the like. At this point I'm just making sure I set things up so that I can get other team members onboard if required.

Early morning smashing out features. New marketplace coming along as well as some cool features for businesses to promote stores, products and brands. Trying to get as much done before I start onboarding / Pitching next week #buildinpublic #webdev #startups

Ok CRM is now in place and wired into emails, email templates are done, new phone number acquired. The first few potential customers targeted so I'm Pulling the trigger on the sales effort next week. First time probably ever doing sales outreach, not going to enjoy it but should learn a lot

Building forms has to be one of the most annoying things to do in Angular or just generally WebDev as a whole. It's still one of my slowest things to do and I often cut a few corners to get things done quicker, increasing tech debt. There are a few libs to fix this, can anyone recommend? #angular

Moved my Dev Issue / Todo List back to Notion. After having it in million other places I think its time to move it to a place where I can easily share if I start onboarding people. Everything was set up from a past life so just a matter of organisation and prioritisation #notion #webdev

Welp, time to step up some of the projects into a higher gear, got more of a deadline/target to hit. Currently WIP in dev is 2 mobile apps (never launched one before), 3 websites (same platform). Marketing / Sales on the existing apps needs to ramp up as well so going to push that. Bring on 2025
