AppBasics

No-code mobile app builder for Notion

no luck with the SSL certs so far, still exploring options

figure out ssl renewal issues

Been trying to figure out how to deal with certificate renewals, because post renewal, I get new private keys which BunnyCDN doesn't know!

working on onboarding flow and other UI stuff

Basically need to clean everything up for a soft release to the people on waitlist already!

more work on dashboard

wrote user stories to figure out what is missing after people signup in terms of onboarding.

working on deployment setup for

I have a basic environment running on Vultr with Dokku but it doesn't scale for more than 10-15 users. Very basic setup. So I need to either evaluate using a larger instance with Dokku or go to DigitalOcean and use managed k8s which I'm most comfortable with.

resize a div using JS

I need to add a resizer for image and column tags because Notion doesn't send me dimensions.

For that I need to understand how to add a handle to the edge of these images and then on dragging of this said handle it should resize the image width/height.

God help me because I don't like frontend and Its going to be a wild ride figuring out drag and drop :-)

working on roadmap for

I need to finalize what I'll ship in the first release and put everything else in backlog.

I want to send invites to the 28 people on the waiting list and get some user feedback before i build more.

fix bugs with image caching

Images in Notion expire after 24 hours so I have to store a copy on my end,

This means i also need to handle updates to the image if its changed since I last cached it.

I just added this part of cache invalidation and now all image block types just work

still struggling with dynamic forms in rails for nested attributes

investigating an issue with child_page rendering

basically if i have navbar with a link to a page that appears in the page content then the link itself doesn't work.

Day 33 with

Navbar concept works! need to work on form for creation/edit now

Check the GIF, the Appbasics on the top left is a dynamically created navbar element with a custom title and link to homepage which users can configure.

also worked on initial implementation of navbar in

Basically, I plan to have a navigations table that stores the styles of the navbar and its position. Will allow customizing these styles later on.

I also have a navigation_items table that will hold information about single navbar item, this navbar item can be anything like a logo or link or cta. nav items will store information about style and location and also behaviour.

This might sound like overkill but it's going to allow me to build more variations of a navbar.
