AboutI'm a marketer with 20 years experience and a programmer with about 5. I love programming a whole lot more than marketing, though. If you want to learn how to create profitable niche software, check out my website.

@mundo03 it's a lot better than coffee and pretty much the same side effects. Have a few beer on hand in case it gets too intense for you . I recommend 5 to ten milligrams to start. I have adhd though so don't quote me on any of this,. It makes me calm and focused. It makes most other people hyper and high.

@12bitfloat meth seems like a good idea, but it makes you too high. You just want to play around and fuck everybody.
Speed or Adderall, is what you need. I drink on my days off. One or two beer during work is fine, but more than that and you're in the fridge or sleeping within a few hours. Or both.
I don't get how that's a good aid to working like so many people talk about.
FInd your neighborhood friendly biker... or truckers. Just tell them you're a hacker. They'll hook you up. -
@AtuM @intromatt @electrineer
It's not like I said this was a good thing.
But yeah, lots of value out there. Or stupidity?
I'll just give an example. I needed an online sql relationship software for one simple project I'm doing. I've never found myself in need of one for more than a day or two, then I export it and it's over. Why would I pay monthly for something I need for a day.
Shit like that. Maybe that's more of an indication of that industry as a whole not giving a shit about people like me who take advantage, but instead, realize, that their stupid prices ($3000 a year in one case) are super targeted (and no idea if successfully) for a B2B .
It's a write off I guess. I dunno. But I' m still in that frame set of "well like, I dont need you monthly, I need you now, why would I pay?" And I CAN afford it, it's just, i don't know, principle? They fucked up their pricing and I'm not going to be charitable? -
@johnmelodyme they can't make people wait that long, fucking natzees

I used to, but vue and inertia changed my mind. Now I tolerate it.

@jeeper thank you jeeper

@HiFiWiFiSciFi
Thanks so much for your input. It helped.
I develop on my own, so the client is me. Nowadays I can't say rainman is a stretch.
Is a simple advertising tool, people look at ads from other members to earn credits, which in turn is used to advertise to other members.
Pretty simple. "Pages" like maybe 10 endpoints.
It's a companion app, so doesn't have to be the whole web app.
I think the bottleneck is me, I never created an app. I'd have to learn on the go, which slows shit down.
Also Learning inertia.
2-3 weeks?
Which means... a month.
Hmm gonna probably back burner this. -
@jeeper ok so 3 hours means 6 (at least for me) which is fine. Thanks!
-
@heyheni where is that

Php enjoys your frustration.

Get a room!

Nancy? Is that you?
I'm sorry Nancy. I guess you have a lot to vent about.
I'm sorry Nancy. That's all I can think to say right now, and that's horrible. I'm sorry for asking for useless features yesterday. I'm sorry for making you do ten things at once. sorry for taking all the credit for your hard work.
I think I understand now Nancy.
First thing? You have a week off with pay, I'm giving you authorization to use the corporate account. Here's the card. Go on a vacation on us. In fact, fuck it, take 2 weeks of vacation. We'll try make do without you, what's important is you need some rest. No phone calls, no messages or email, nothing.
If I had only known how much you were suffering....
From now on things will be different! I promise. You can work from home whenever you want, take days off if you need them. Do you need an assistant? Too bad you got one, no questions asked. And a 50% pay raise, and some stock options.
Nancy? I love you Nancy. Don't go. -
@IHateForALiving i can stay up all night and script up a down vote for every post you've made, sir.
This script will be so good, it will even down vote your kids, and your kids' kids! Whenever they get on devrant -
@N00bPancakes
Was that.. sarcastic?
Downvote for you! -
@retoor
Yes, this was a public service announcement, no need for ++ -
4 hours in the last 3 days. My usual week comprises of 3-4 days of very little sleep, but in that time do more work than I would in a week normally.
Crash and sleep for three days.
Wait, that's also a week...hmm -
+1 on everyone feeling the datetime pain. Carbon helps though

So it's not just me then.

Well, does it work? Could be dealing with some kind of genius

Try to start thinking in terms of filling a need somewhere like a niche.
Example: sometimes I need a thumbnail generator but it seems they are all stuck in 2009 or something. Gotta be someone that can update the niche.
The web is filled with sites that had their time in the sun, but clearly have not kept up. All good candidates to clone and improve.
Who knows, it might take off, simple saas apps can make a lot of money on autopilot
Fill a well defined need. Do it better than the rest in the niche. Dont break new ground just find bad software and improve on it.
Hope this helps turn your hobby programming into money. -
I smell Adderall

You learn one you know them all. Don't waste your time when the day comes, learn it. Lie on your resume if hired, all nighter
-
If you're trying to make money, you have to remember, people want to solve their problems by pushing a button.
Your button shouldn't take more effort than clicking it once.
Otherwise they'll click someone else's button, one that doesn't make you money. -
@geneticCode ah shit it's too late for that

@electrineer
good idea -
What the fuck is a final build.

@hack i said webPAGE builder, a simple one, relax. And yeah you can do it with grapesjs. Obviously, wix is the product of a team of programmers working on improving it everyday, for years now.
You fucking dummy. -
@bagfox
These are webpage or website builders. I need an actual project open source that helps users create webpages. So, I'd be like creating my own dreamweaver, just way less gooder. -
@N00bPancakes I need my members, who will be very novice Internet users, to drag and drop to create a website. Nothing crazy, just basic splash pages.
From what I understand, grapesjs is a ... uh, builder for page builders? At least that's what I'm seeing, could be wrong.
Basically I'd like to do something like http://grapedrop.com which I guess is the implementation of using their framework.
But I don't think I want to spend the next (probably) month using their framework to create that.
So, if there's any splash page builders out there open source?
Not like full website builders, just a splash or capture page builder.
Otherwise I guess I'll have to hack something together real quick with grapejs. I of course think it'll take like a week, or maybe a few days, but that means, 2 weeks to a month, conservatively. Trying to avoid that.
