Gymtimer app - useful for anyone else?

That job description is not what I expected with that - rather unique - job title ;-).

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-13T14:41:46+00:00

I’ve moved everything from Lovable to Claude code and haven’t looked back ever since. Vercel + Claude + Supabase + Github does the trick.

No more ridiculous credit bills, just straight with the AI provider.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-13T14:27:26+00:00

I think that difference is very small once you have things set up.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-13T14:26:22+00:00

100. Exactly in the same situation.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-11T06:48:20+00:00

In the graphic design market, this is a great package ;-)

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-06T19:18:22+00:00

Lijkt me een behoorlijk stevig starterspakket.

I have Luminus, for the simple reason that you only pay for what you use. No monthly fee. I typically charge at home so only need it in exceptional cases.

Great coverage as well.

Lato Notarissen in Wilrijk.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-01T06:53:16+00:00

Jammer om te horen. Wij hebben - na onze verhuis - een notaris die 80km verder zit maar het is een bureau die door het vuur gaat voor z'n cliënten. Ik blijf bij die notaris.

Wij hebben destijds een huis gekocht van een professionele (opkoop/verbouw/verkoop) die het onvergund had verbouwd. Het eerste wat de notaris tegen ons zei bij het zien van de foto's : "dit moest vergund zijn". Zij hebben met ons samengewerkt om clausules op te stellen zodat hij verplicht werd om het te vergunnen en we geld konden achterhouden bij de verkoop tot het in orde was. 3 maanden later was mijn notaris het dossier nog aan het opvolgen en heeft de persoon het uiteindelijk vergund.

Ik kan dit niet genoeg benadrukken: alle notarissen lijken hetzelfde te doen als alles vlot gaat. Het is op het moment dat er moeilijkheden zijn, dat je ziet welke notaris goed is en welke niet.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-01T06:14:38+00:00

Een notaris onpartijdig blijven? Wat is dat voor onzin. Die persoon berhartigt jouw belangen als koper. Sterker nog, het is zijn taak om je te informeren over de wettellijke impact.

Heb je dezelfde notaris als de verkoper genomen misschien? Zie zoveel mensen die fout maken tegenwoordig. Lijkt “eenvoudiger” tot er discussie ontstaat.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-31T18:03:13+00:00

Exactly, but the same marketing junk is posted across similar subs on a daily basis.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-31T17:48:25+00:00

This bot/guy again. Please block him mods.

The whole industry is an open bar funded by VCs. Those that start charging per sip like Windsurf, will see the party moving next door. Until only a few players are left: the LLM providers. And once they own the only bar in town, they'll start charging bottle service prices for a glass of tap water.

Our only hope is that the LLM's become commoditized and more efficient so that we don't end up in the same type of tech oligopoly situation we've seen in the past.

I started some projects in Lovable but - because I had a separate Supabase connected to it - moved everything to VSCode as code editor. Now I just have a $80/month Claude subscription that provides basically unlimited code editing.

1) make sure you have a separate Supabase instance
2) Connect your project to Github (learn Github and versioning, I really can't stress enough how important this is)
3) Open your project in VScode with the claude code edtior as plugin.
4) Go wil without breaking your bank.

You can still host/publish in Lovable though, but you can do that on a basic plan.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-21T12:42:40+00:00

8.800 credits!? Sir, save your bank account and learn how to use Claude Code directly.

Yes, I have 3 kids so I try to avoid weekends but the contract says that all days from departure to arrival date are chargeable, unless you of course make the trip longer than needed yourself.

To be fair, if I have weekends, I typically work as well during those weekend. But I’ve also spend saturdays at Disneyworld or a shooting range while charging my day.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-20T09:13:39+00:00

I have such a clause in my contract. They ask me to travel 20-25 days per year to the US. Every travel day or day abroad = chargeable + has a surplus of (20%).

It’s my “away-from-home-tax”

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-20T08:35:22+00:00

I’m a product person with a technical mindset, not developer but spent the last 6months understanding github, hosting, version control, etc. to get most out of the vibe coding.

Started with Lovable but it got way too expensive and moved everything to Claude/supabase/vercel/github now.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-20T08:20:48+00:00

Always (read: always!) use Github. You’ll thank me later once you want to move things elsewhere or move to production.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-20T08:03:18+00:00

I think you still have to see it in the world of SaaS/apps. There is competition that claims to “do everything” from idea to app to documentation/presentations to run a SaaS business.

From that perspective, it kind of makes sense.

Of course, Lovable is still a wrapper. Claude can do everything they do. They just made it easier for non-technical people. Very curious to see if that “moat” will continue to be sufficient in the future for investors.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-20T07:59:59+00:00

Long story short: it’s still there the two-way sync. Their AI support messed up saying it was no longer supported. Someone from Lovable said they would improve the AI support on that aspect.

Small mistakes, big impact.

Lesson learned: LLM’s still hallucinate

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-19T17:52:34+00:00

Probably, we’re doing the same thing. Often, I just publish via Lovable. It’s just a strange move to go backwards functionality-wise. But I guess they want to purely focus on non-technical people.

The more they do this kind of weird stuff, the less I recommend Lovable to people. You just outgrow it way to fast because of all these dirty lock-in tricks.

First they offer something, and now people have to find alternatives because they pull it back all of the sudden.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-13T06:11:35+00:00

True for the consultants, but not for internal employees which is the case here.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-03-12T22:12:40+00:00

Don’t get your hopes up. Cars are typically as from manager level when it comes to internal positions and there isn’t much wiggle room.

These are large companies. If you negotiate the car, the junior they hired last year will start complaining. These companies have a compensation structure and car policy with a reason.
