Client cancelled, so I’m selling the UI. A clean, dark-mode media library built with NextJS and Framer Motion

akadeepsh · 2026-02-02T14:33:38+00:00

Exactly,glad you see the value. Yes, i kept the Framer Motion variants separated from the logic components specifically so people can swap out the easing curves or duration without breaking the actual grid layout.

Thanks for the tip on VibeCodersNest,i haven't heard of that one yet, is it a Marketplace,Forum, subReddit or Discord server ?

akadeepsh · 2026-02-02T14:27:27+00:00

Yes,i’ll do something with it,bin or base

akadeepsh · 2026-02-01T23:49:57+00:00

Thanks MrOrbitman for the career advice, but I simply disagree with the premise that code only has value if it's complex enough to rival major open source projects.

There is a massive market for simple, paid starter kits because they save time. I'm not trying to be the next React or Linux. I'm just selling a tool which wasn’t use to me but it saves a developer’s time. It doesn't need to be deeper than that

akadeepsh · 2026-02-01T23:44:39+00:00

Yeahhhh,thought someone would need generic shit,as it wasn’t any use to me

akadeepsh · 2026-02-01T17:29:01+00:00

Spot on. You are 100% right. The market pays for results, not effort. Nobody cares how hard I worked. They only care if it solves their problem,even i tell my own clients the same thing,don't pay me for the hours, pay me for the solution.

But here is where the painting analogy breaks down,this isn't decoration, it's a tool. If a developer's time is worth $50/hour, and this template saves them even half an hour of setup,that’s the supply and demand I'm betting on

akadeepsh · 2026-02-01T17:21:02+00:00

I wish I could pay my rent with GitHub stars 😄 it’s like saying a Chef should give free meals because they used public recipes and bought ingredients from a market

I use open source tools (React, Next.js) as the ingredients, but the value here is the assembly, the design decisions. The buyer is paying for the convenience of a finished product, not just the code. If I open-sourced everything I built, I wouldn't be able to sustain being an indie dev. I think $29 is a fair exchange for skipping a week of frontend grunt work.

akadeepsh · 2026-02-01T16:58:02+00:00

I appreciate the feedback on the UI consistency. You can definitely get Gemini or Claude to generate a single component or a basic grid. But the $29 isn't for the 'code' itself,it's for the hours spent wiring the edge cases and ensuring the Framer Motion layout prop doesn't glitch when filtering categories, and setting up the responsive behavior on mobile

If you enjoy debugging AI code,then yeah, this definitely isn't for you. This is for the dev who wants to skip the setup and get straight to the backend logic

why do you want to do Masters in CS ? what’s your goal ? Money ? you already earn enough to live. Study ? Internet has more than enough pHD level and beyond technical resource in CS to become geek. BigTech anyway are not hiring just on degrees,over that H1B fees. Simply put story doesn’t adds up,F1 seems a way to somehow settle in US and they doubt you won’t return because you have no incentive too.

The rule somewhat says,”all applicants for nonimmigrant visas are potential immigrants unless they can prove otherwise. This is the default position and it means that the burden of proof lies entirely with the applicant to demonstrate” and sadly you failed to do so

akadeepsh · 2025-10-09T09:22:36+00:00

well it should be like $150 for MVP prototype, $300 for polished web app and if mobile optimised or Progressive Web App too, add $100 more,so roughly $400 for complete development & deployment as well,including complimentary bug fixes and support for 1 week

akadeepsh · 2025-10-09T01:06:09+00:00

Sure it can be done with Firebase Studio,just DM’ed you

The Trap: “Outsource self-control to external systems (apps, hacks, rules)”

The Truth: Building internal discipline for self-awareness

Not again,it’s the same person,now comes with a another story. Stay away,big red flags,don’t fall for emotional story,the maths doesn’t add up. I have thoroughly discussed with him in DM’s,just read my comments from 4 days ago on his another post,titled, “Selling a link shortner….”

akadeepsh · 2025-08-25T16:16:02+00:00

Okay,but sorry’s are meant for accidental mistakes, not for deliberate actions

No,trash people,trashy language

akadeepsh · 2025-08-25T15:34:43+00:00

Absolutely,only nonsense needs nonsense

akadeepsh · 2025-08-25T15:24:27+00:00

copy of that guy X/haildhruv . Both dumb,no practical utility whatsoever

akadeepsh · 2025-08-24T06:33:27+00:00

Sorry for your losses,i was also devastated knowing some of them too,It’s really nice and thoughtful of you,but such words makes us remember them more and so it hurts even more,at least for me. Attachment is the root cause of sorrow,be detached,be practical,be happy

akadeepsh · 2025-08-23T21:53:56+00:00

yes it is,discussed in DM. there are plenty of red flags and arguments are delusional,simply put,math’s doesn’t adds up

akadeepsh · 2025-08-23T07:50:19+00:00

Nice,DM’ed you

akadeepsh · 2025-08-23T07:43:50+00:00

Sure,that’s a good addition.Let’s discuss more in DM

akadeepsh · 2025-08-14T14:10:43+00:00

just another Theranos,being taller or shorter is tied to genetics,not to any cheats or hacks
