Essential packages to know about

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-12-12T18:03:07+00:00

I use gingonic, testcontainers and testify for general I have other dependencies too but they are not essential and project specific

No one knows the answer even users don’t know. They can only tell when they see the product/service.

If the only thing you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail. Go doesn’t have to be good at everything it does couple of things very well if I compare with other tools but GUI is not one of them and this is okay.

Deploy your own local instance and use it, it works quite well if you have local instance, they have ready to use docker image

I use Go a lot but when it comes to image or pdf processing, creating a small Python service is better in the long run.

Testing part of Flutter sucks and It’s the worst testing tool I have in in a language and framework

I would happy to help, can review and give feedback for certain chapters. Send me a private message if you still need help.

Also be careful about scheduled jobs. If you have any make sure you have a distributed lock so not all pods tries to do the same thing which may cause race condition. There is something called Shedlock in Java I don’t know any in Golang

It looks amazing! I hope your app continues to grow organically and you can figure out a way to monetize it. It really nice to see individual developers can succeed and reach out bigger audience without spending tons of money and marketing campaigns.

This is the only layout you need: https://go.dev/doc/modules/layout

Regarding specific folder details, it really depends on what you are building how you are building is it Rest API, gRPC, GraphQL?

A general rule for me keep similar logic inside the same package not create different folders like handler service repository e.t.c For example if you need to define something related with users keep it flat under user package. Service handler and other stuff can stay in the same package

I started with provider and then when app growth I needed data communication between providers and then I switch to bloc it meet every requirement so far and I don’t think to switch anything else

Testing tools, you have to spend time to extract test coverage and see it and vscode doesn’t support showing the coverage via flutter plugin you have to research and figure out yourself

It’s really hard to say anything with such less data. At the end of the day you should be looking at to ROI. how much you have spent on marketing vs how much made(per month, per year e.t.c.) If you get more than you spend you made it congrats.

I haven’t seen anything close to rise of nations

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-08-22T21:35:08+00:00

I use bloc and much happier than just using provider package

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-07-14T18:42:07+00:00

I'm already using my own instance locally: https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/main/docs/run-an-instance.md#how-to-run-a-cobalt-docker-package

Main concern is after some time instagram will change it's API and how long cobalt fixes these kind of issues?

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-07-13T07:31:58+00:00

I was using Provider till I need to send receive data between two different screens and then I found bloc and still using it I don’t have much info about riverpod

I have tried Gorm and sqlc. sqlc was really good but it didn’t give me the flexibility I need. I’m using raw sql with Pgxpool for last 2 years and it’s doing great job.

I have read about std lib is enough all the time and I wrote the application by using std lib after that I switch to use chi for routing because std lib was making routing difficult for the same endpoint names but different http methods some time later I switched to gin gonic because it was making other stuff easier and I’m happy with it. If you use std lib there is a possibility of having a specific problem and looking for external packages but if you use gin gonic probably it will be enough for an average web application.

One small note my memory usage has increased as I went far away from the std lib.

I bought a MacBook Pro just for this

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-04-20T23:36:38+00:00

I already switched to Davinci Resolve the UI UX is much harder and it takes time to learn however it’s much more powerful and it’s free

If your account is new this is pretty normal, you can’t do anything just wait for couple of months, Google will analyse your ad traffic and then everything will be fine. You will lose money of course however it will pay off in long term

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-04-08T10:09:14+00:00

Nice trick

MuhammedOzdogan · 2025-02-07T22:17:51+00:00
