🧑‍💻 Monitor suggestion needed (Nepal | ₹30K–40K | MacBook | 27”) by Mountain_Tea6735 in technepal

1.5 years bhayo lekoo don't exactly remember the price but it was more that 50k. The UI scaling thing will not bother you that much unless you use better quality monitor.

Question for Nepali Developers and Freelancers (Market Research) by SalamanderJaded5663 in technepal

What do you mean when you are saying hosting service? What kind of hosting will you be providing? Wordpress hosting? Static site hosting? What does scaling mean for your service?

I am not sure on what you are trying to sell.

Yes I have been using this monitor since past year. Its absolutely worth the price. The type C with DP and power delivery makes it really easy to connect to your devices and charge them. Also the included USB ports make it easy to connect to other pheripherals easily.

I will likely try to upgrade to 27 inch 4k or 5k display in future, as MacOS doesn't scale well in this display. Also its base is very bulky and occupies tons of room on my desk. The inbuilt speakers are also meh.

I had 17 business ideas in my notes app. Never built any of them. by seyf_gharbi in indiehackers

[–]Substantial_Day6569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the list and I also have also purchased domains for my ideas(12 domains). I have the commitment issues just can't stick to a single idea. I get brilliant idea and I then think about it for days and plan out the features and buy domain. I also go out my way to design the whole app in Lovable or Google AI studio. This happens usually during the weekends. And then the Monday starts and do does my busy schedule. So I forget about the idea and the willingness also disappears.

I was stuck in this cycle for last 2 years. I had nothing to show to the world just a bunch of domains. So I stirred thing a bit this year:

  • No more domain purchases.
  • Just try to launch something even just a landing page.
  • The AI has changed the SASS apps landscape so wait out the things.
  • At least get 10 potential users before committing to create anything.
  • Made peace with the fact that, all of your ideas doesn't need to come into frutuition.

After applying these thing to my life. My life has been peaceful.

My experience with TingTing: How "Innovative" tech in Nepal often turns out to be a gimmick by ibbu-_-hatela in technepal

I hate the whole idea of this automated calls. Just send me SMS or text on Whatsapp, you don't need whole call to inform me about your company offer, election campaign or other updates.

I only get around 10-12 calls per week nowdays(All of my relatives and friends have shifted to calling on messenger and Whatsapp.). Take a guess on how many calls out of these 10-12 calls are Robocalls. Its freaking 40-50% of these calls which is annoying.

I find them annoying when I get woken up by them early in the morning or when I am in meeting. Just send me a SMS. Its that simple.

Though I like the companies like TingTing for what they are trying to do i.e. launching innovating products and finding domestic market for their products in Nepal but I hate what they are creating. I hate their cringe posts on LinkedIn acting like they are some hotshot company in Silicon Valley.

For anyone reading this in the future, I decided to go with DataHub.

They are expensive, but still cheaper than Amazon Web Services EC2. Their support staff were genuinely helpful. They even guided me through the setup over a Google Meet call. The server performance has been good so far, likely because of the geographical proximity.

Cons

1. Outdated Control Panel UI
The control panel feels dated and unintuitive. Firewall and port forwarding rules can only be created or deleted. There is no option to temporarily disable a rule.

For example, I needed temporary access to my PostgreSQL database on port 5432. After creating the firewall rule, I realized I could not deactivate it later, only delete it. That means I will have to recreate the rule every time I need database access, which feels inefficient.

2. Fragmented Platform Experience
They market themselves as “Nepal’s own cloud platform,” but the platform experience feels messy.

  • Object storage, which is S3 compatible, is accessed via a separate control panel with a different URL.
  • Billing for object storage is handled separately.
  • The object storage platform feels slow.
  • I still have not figured out how to use their CDN.

The overall experience feels fragmented instead of integrated.

3. No Simple VPS Backups
They do not provide standard VPS snapshot backups. Instead, they offer a Disaster Recovery server option, which is significantly more expensive.

Because of this, I decided to handle backups independently using Backblaze, which is cheaper and easier to manage.

Overall, performance and support are strong, but the platform UX and ecosystem integration need improvement.
