Yes. I do. I enjoy ruby so much.

After 10 years working with Java. Now I dont wanna go back anymore.

It is about your taste and philosophy. I dont think it related skill issue.

The key is putting your SaaS in front of people who need it. Here are something I did: - Find a group that your potential customers there (on Reddit, Facebook,) ... post your work there. - Create content on IG/Tiktok/Facebook/... - Final is using paid ads FB ads/Google Ads/...

They call these works are "marketing".

2 weeks and $500. Everyday is around $35. Based on my experience, it is quite a reasonable number.

Congratz Tony! He has been very good at creating products for years. Since he was a student. The way he studied, the way he worked, just so different from the rest of us.

It feels so good that your story in the front page of HN. 45k is not a big number for HN crowd, but it is a fortune here in my country.

Keep going my friend!

P/s: I am his classmate at the university.

I'd think that 45K per month is a big number for most people on HN.

Thank you for the post!

Wow! The Heztner price is too good to be true. I need to make a migration to it

agreed — even with some recent price increases they have amazing prices

I had exactly the same problem. Recently, with the help of ChatGPT (just free version). When I didnt know anything, I just asked. The result was pretty good.

I also wrote stupid code first in my own version, and copied + pasted to chatGPT, asked it to improve it, or rewrite in ruby on rails style. And wow!! The rewrote version even went with explanation.

Beside that, you can use Rails console to test.

Old reddit has less bugs too. First time, using reddit, I used the new version. But my internet connection was too bad, this caused a lot of problems with the new version.

When I knew about the old version, I tried. And wow, almost every bugs I had with the new one went away. Faster load too.

At first, I thought it was a python framework from making desktop UI. As I remember, there is a python framework with almost similar name.

Congratz on the first stable version!

P/s: as I am getting older, I am just too tired for new frontend stuffs.

I can feel you. I was in the same situation.

In the end, my team broken up. Cofounders (my best friends) left. We are not friend anymore.

I closed that company and start a new one. Luckily, things are better now. Dont outsource sale, someone need to do that. That is a hard lession

I have the same thought. Bootstrap is still my favorite choice.

Yeah, I used Bootstrap for a long time, and got used to how it works.

I wanted to like Tailwind, but it seems a bit disingenuous. It's like using inline style tags, just with shorter names.

From time to time I've made an effort to learn how CSS works, but after a while I forget the details. It's more productive if I can browse a catalogue of visual examples, with concise markup that is easy to copy and paste.

Bulma seems like the more "modern" take on Bootstrap: https://bulma.io/
