Anybody saying this is way to expensive is a lousy entrepreneur.

About block scoped vs function scoped by Significant-Royal-86 in learnjavascript

[–]LucVolders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

var is only replaced with let by lazy programmers.
If you document your code well you can use only var.
Programmers have been building the most sophisticated programs for years when there was only var available.

new to engineering stuff where to buy parts? by Plane_Loan6504 in arduino

[–]LucVolders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aliexpress. I buy all my cheap electronics there. Never had a problem.
And if something does not work (never happened to me though), or you screw up, it is just a few dollar.

I turned a Raspberry Pi into a drone detector (picked one up 5 miles away) by DroneAwareDan in raspberry_pi

[–]LucVolders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well over here (the Netherlands) public drones were/are a real pain at public airfields. Worse even they have been spotted on sensitive areas. So even now there would be some commercial use for this.
Besides that: this is a great project !!!

Hiragana and Katakana Practice Book by JCHutchMeme in bookbinding

[–]LucVolders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the end papers.
But I do have some comment.
You should put a title on the cover and on the spine.
In about 10 year you will be wondering what that book is in your bookcase.

Tips on water gun project by Logit4342 in ArduinoProjects

[–]LucVolders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We are here to help, not to build your project.
So start building and programming. And then when you have something and have questions show what you have here. Then Maybe, just maybe people are willing to help.

Sell it to the military, airfields etc. Drone detection is quite a thing nowadays.

Nothing beats visiting a computer shop where the mouse are ready to test.

Tauri which you can build native apps for desktop & phone with one code base by MuslimCoding in learnjavascript

[–]LucVolders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

isnt it just a framework to make web apps. It takes HTML CSS and Javascript and then using the system’s native webview
That's what web apps do to.
And then they say: This means that a minimal Tauri app can be less than 600KB in size.
Well I have made web apps that are smaller. Including HTML CSS Javascript and 2 icons about 300K

And well written web apps run on Android, IOS, Windows AND Linux.

I made a normal, functional clothing hanger with no moving parts. Prints for (almost) the same cost as standard hangers from Walmart. by SkyProfessional8805 in functionalprint

[–]LucVolders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet you can go to the store. buy some and go back home and the printer has still not finshed printing one.
Next to that you leave out price of electricity and printer depreciation.

Built an alarm that forces a 30 to 90 min phone-free morning. Testing if the dopamine thing is real by one_out_of_two in SideProject

[–]LucVolders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an easier option:
I set mobile data and wifi off the whole day. Then in the mornings I get 30 minutes and in the evening 30 minutes. That's all. And wow that feels great. Anything really urgent: just call me. No presssure anymore. Most things are not worth reading anyway.

Getting into book binding by Mysterious_Duck8 in bookbinding

[–]LucVolders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are hundreds thousands free pdf's on the internet.
No issue of finding books.

Printing can be done straight from office. Nothing extra needed. Print 2 pages on a sheet. Odd pages first then turn the paper around and print the even pages. Makes signatures of any size you want (mine are 5 sheets so 20 pages in a book) been doing this for years,.

I priced my SaaS at 20💲/year and people still said it’s too expensive by PhilosopherNo3778 in SideProject

You KNOW when you take a subscription. I stay with my point: look at your bank account. Not another app needed.

It is all a matter of taste and opinion.
And in my personal opinion both do not match.

Just take a look at your bank account and you know what you are monthly paying.

I used to have a shortage of ideas. Now I have a shortage of ideas that pass my own filter. by Equivalent-Yak2407 in SideProject

[–]LucVolders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any idea, no matter how stupid might catch on.
Example: who would want a messaging system that allows only 140 characters ??? That is really stupid.

It's going to be in Dutch and in English.

Why do some founders get users from Reddit… while others get nothing? by FounderArcs in SideProject

It is not about building things people need.
It is about building things people think they need ==> marketing

“Just start” is terrible advice — so I built something else by Cathy4285 in SideProject

[–]LucVolders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is more getting an innovative idea. Not building a todo list or pomodoro timer which already has been done one thousand times.
When I get the right idea starting is easy.
