[April 2020] What are you building?

This is the monthly thread to share your progress and explain the projects you're building!

Share links, ideas, feedback. GO!

I'm building my writing skills at https://binyamin.substack.com. Just published a new article on coding. By the way, I would love a bit of feedback on said article.

Edit: I'm also working on a way to create and share reading lists. It's called Readr.

I think it is a good idea to write about lesser-known topics! Always good to revise the basics :)

Cool subject!

Since you’re asking for feedback… I do think the post reads a bit like Chinese whispers. Like, you’re conveying some interesting information, but I am not getting the feeling it’s your own insights and first-hand experience.

Again, I’m not saying this is the case, but it is the feeling I got. I also don’t know how you want to develop your writing, I personally value “first-hand accounts from experience” more, so I always appreciate that being evident in things I read.

I am building Up&Fast

It is an uptime & performance monitoring app with a focus on giving you detailed information about how speedy your websites are. It checks your sites recurringly and measures response times, load times & performs lighthouse checks. So you immediately know when your sites are down or if their performance drops. It also includes status pages & customizable notifications.

It's aimed to be easy to setup and customizable for your needs with a beautiful UI.

I wrote a blog post about the motivation for Up&Fast if you are interested. Right now I'm still in heavy development, but I want to start a closed beta soon.

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts or feedback 😊

Love the blog post. I think there’s tons of opportunity in this space still - SaaS with similar functionality is still charging A LOT.

Launching our analytics feature for https://versoly.com/ on Product Hunt. It is basically a SaaS by itself and has took a while to build. But is great, I save a ton of time and get a clear picture compared to Google Analytics.

It collects 25-40% more data than Google Analytics with 0 work due to use handling hosting and analytics.

It also allows 1 click conversion tracking, so you can see what websites convert the best and where to focus your time.

I might also stream a new engineering as marketing product.

Also about to start an affiliate program for Versoly and looking for affiliates for it, so if you run or know anyone who runs sites for makers and SaaS founders/marketers would love to connect with them.

When you say “more data” is that because it isn’t blocked by ad blockers?

I'm building a chrome extension to help to organize all projects and related products: so you can manage all the stuff you use in a single place.

I thought of an extension because in this way you can use it when you are browsing… you can open tab quickly, trigger actions and have a mini dashboard for every project.

In this way you can stop to open a thousand tabs to check hosting, email, social, etc.. I hope to have an mvp for the end of the month: productsbox.dev

I'm busy building Onbolt, simple incident response for makers and developers. I'm a huge fan of PagerDuty and OpsGenie, they are great tools but they are focused on teams and can become quite expensive. Onbolt is aimed at makers like you and me to help keep your product up and available.

Some of the features include:

  1. Integrates with the tools you know and love such as Datadog, New Relic, Kingdom, Statuscake etc.
  2. Non-intrusive voice alerts for critical incident with a message lasting less than 20 seconds.
  3. Uses a credit system ("bolts") to buy bolts on the go (one voice alert = 1 bolt) or subscribe monthly for fixed credits
  4. Organized in a Kanban board using a fluid 3-column workflow (New, Investigating and Resolved)

You can follow along the process on Makerlog - I'm looking for makers who would like to get early access to try this (you can start with 5 free credits).

Love the idea. Pager duty for makers is probably a good enough tag line to sell itself.

• I've figured out a way to offer "native" comments for Ghost blogs based on their new(ish) Member feature (uses the built-in member feature for comment auth). I'll be rushing this product out, hopefully launching in April.

• I've almost finished my first paid Ghost theme. It's called "Parker" and is already live on my blog teedrop.co. Hoping to also launch that publicly in April, then get onto the next one. rdnthemes.com

We are building https://dorik.io - Website builder for building & hosting beautiful single-page websites.

We have designed our beta homepage to get early beta testers. We started it as a side project because we were passionate about building something like this for years. I hope our homepage will explain what it is and how it works (If not, Please share your feedback on how we can improve it). :-)

The homepage is built with our builder without writing any code.

Any feedback will be really helpful. :-)

Thanks.

👋Hey all, hope you're safe and well!

This month I started a little project called #BeatWeek I'm hoping to improve my music production and fear of releasing creative work by releasing a new track / idea every week.

Currently just uploading on Soundcloud and adding a bit more detail on my Buy Me A Coffee page.

Will be making a digital home for all the beats in the form of a little website/blog in the next week or so ✌️

I'm working on a webapp to help artists organize, share, and sell their art. Hoping to eventually turn it into a way for artists to search for and connect with local places to display and sell, from coffee shops to small galleries. Also hoping to provide features for creating events and answering "calls for entry".

For now though, it will just be a tool for organizing and sharing. The landing page is very rough at the moment, and I might completely rip out the auth and replace it with another solution… but you can check it out here.

I'll keep building up my own brand!

I've been building Coding Challenges for colleagues for ages, and I just created the very first "publicly available" one, under the umbrella of my site & newsletter:

Learn how to use cycling elements, by creating a game!

I'll be streaming my own solution with React and hooks, and giving feedback to people that ask for it. And I'll be thinking whether hosting them on my own site does make sense, or whether a dedicated platform would be better!

Most of all I want to see whether this type of content, which colleagues have found valuable, will also be valuable to strangers on the internet :-)

It's more customizable than anything else in the market as it is now. It's mostly for businesses to unlock their potential to collect data from users in a reliable way.

hm, i'm confused - most form builders already are no -code no? esp. with airtable being ultra customizable - what makes it different?

0 Likes

@sergio Most visual form builders out there are built for consumers that need very little customization, such as surveys, feedback forms, etc. And they're quite great for those use-cases!

But we've found that some businesses have specific needs: more customization (similar to Webflow, but easier to use) and a more seamless experience, logic mapping so you can customize the experience of your users based on previous forms/answers, audience targeting, A/B testing, lighting-fast loading, and more…

We think there's a specific niche of businesses who are needing - it's not a 1 million users product, but it's not what we're trying to do really :)
