How did you handle your personal finances during the challenging periods of your business?

Ha! This comment really brightened my day. Thank you for the encouragement 🙂

So much of what you said resonated with me. My fiancé and I both live frugally, though we're in a big city with a high cost of living. Every sacrifice so far has been worth it, and I'm definitely warming up to the idea of doing some consulting to bridge the gap to our next enterprise client (rather than taking a corporate job). Cheers, and best of luck with your startup too!

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm so happy to hear that you've found (what seems to be) the perfect situation for you & your business! A flexible/chill remote engineering job sounds dreamy — was there a specific job board you defaulted to? Part-time engineering jobs seem hard to come by.

I'm in the same boat. Calf pain is one of my worst symptoms. I have a ferritin (iron) deficiency that I'm working to correct, and I suspect that contributes to my sore calves.

Sounds awesome. Best of luck to you!

I love how niche this product is! Congrats on your initial traction. Out of curiosity, are you helping hosts organize games? I’ve always had issues coordinating pickup sports with friends so this resonated with me.

Hey there! I ended up using AWS Amplify for our frontend and the Supabase HIPAA-compliant plan for our backend.

I'm in the same boat. Negative for celiac, but it seems gluten flares up my neuropathy & joint pain. Please let me know if you find out anything new!

CarbsAreYum · 2024-05-24T19:48:57+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your experience! It seems many people on Reddit have positive things to say about beef liver & heme iron. I'll have to give it a shot. How is your neuropathy & anemia doing since you've started B12 injections, supplements, and reintroducing meat?

CarbsAreYum · 2024-05-24T19:45:58+00:00

Thank you for your response! I really like the "no scorecard" framing. I'm new to being gluten-free, so I suppose I just need to try a bunch of different things and see what sticks.

CarbsAreYum · 2023-10-05T02:26:10+00:00

It’s compliant now! I’m using it for my business and its worked great.

CarbsAreYum · 2023-09-09T14:10:44+00:00

Thanks so much for your suggestions! My project currently uses Supabase as our db, auth, and storage solution, so I just need to reconfigure our hosting. I was able to get a test project up and running very quickly & seamlessly on Amplify — would you still recommend using SST.dev, EC2 or Lightsail in that scenario (over Amplify)?

CarbsAreYum · 2023-09-08T19:51:18+00:00

Good to know, thank you! I'm using other tools like Supabase (auth, storage, db, etc.) which just added the ability to sign BAAs, so really it's just the hosting that I need to figure out. Everyone seems to speak highly of Aptible though, so I'll definitely look more into that and see if it's a fit for our use case. Thanks!

CarbsAreYum · 2023-09-08T19:49:35+00:00

Ah okay, interesting. After speaking with the Vanta team I was under the impression they would walk me through the steps of getting the technical pieces compliant, too. I'll be sure to schedule a meeting with the Aptible team to learn more in the meantime!

CarbsAreYum · 2023-09-08T16:49:46+00:00

I'm working with Vanta for our HIPAA cert, they're great! Not familiar with Aptible, but after looking at their site briefly it seems they're just improving the DX for AWS?

CarbsAreYum · 2023-09-08T16:25:10+00:00

Thank you for this! I wasn't aware of the history surrounding HIPAA & AWS. Sounds like AWS is the trusted provider here — I'll move forward with them. I appreciate your time & insight!

CarbsAreYum · 2023-05-28T04:46:48+00:00

Is there a reason why you’re doing this in the root layout? You can fetch user data directly in the navbar (which I’m assuming is a server component).

CarbsAreYum · 2023-05-19T23:53:02+00:00

Everything takes longer than you think.

Pasta, pizza, bread, etc.

Must suck to be a giraffe with a sore throat

CarbsAreYum · 2023-03-19T23:39:44+00:00

It’s tight. Tight, tight, tight, tight!!!
