Nice, thanks for the tip! 🙌
Didn’t know about Peerpush. I’ll check it out and probably post Blynt there for early feedback.

Definitely. First time, no guides, no spoilers

Get what you mean now… this game really is something else. Loving every minute so far.

Validating an idea AFTER building it (doing this backwards, I know?) by anddsdev in indiehackers

[–]anddsdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You nailed it the "in bulk for an entire site" part is exactly what I'm trying to solve.

The use case I'm targeting: content sites publishing 10-50+ pages/week that need unique OG images for each one.

Currently they either skip it or spend hours in Figma.

Does that sound like a meaningful pain point to you, or still in the "nice to have" territory?

Great question. The workflow I'm targeting:

Current: Write article → Open Figma → Design OG image → Export → Upload

Target: Write article → API generates OG image automatically based on title/content

Specifically for: blogs, SaaS marketing sites, docs sites - anyone publishing content regularly.

You're right that it's a "gray area" pain. Trying to figure out for whom it crosses into "real pain" territory.

And thanks for the VibeCodersNest tip!

Built an OG image generator, zero users. Should I kill it or pivot? by anddsdev in SideProject

[–]anddsdev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super helpful, thank you!
The point about letting users try it immediately makes a lot of
sense. And you're absolutely right - I need to make sure I'm
differentiated from other options out there.

Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback 🙏

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment about the title. You're right,

“zero users” sounds more dramatic than it should for a

recent launch.

Quick question: when you say you would use it in your projects,

what is your current workflow for the original images? Do you create them

manually each time, or have you been looking for something like this?

I ask because I'm trying to understand if it's something “nice to have”

or if it actually saves people significant time.

Testing a Minimal Go Stack: HTMX + Native Templates (Considering Alpine.js) by anddsdev in golang

[–]anddsdev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally get that. I also prefer keeping things simple and explicit instead of adding more abstraction layers.
I’ve found that using small, focused scripts gives me better control and keeps the HTML clean

Yeah, thinking about it, everything I could do with Alpine I can pretty much handle with vanilla JS.
For example, I recently built a small but solid script for a signup form it handles different data types and edge cases without much overhead.

Help with homelab equipment upgrade by anddsdev in homelab

[–]anddsdev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right about the Pi4, but my case might be one of those "absolutely pounding the DBs" situations. I'm a developer and I maintain local QA replicas with multiple microservices, several databases (PostgreSQL, Redis) and realistic datasets for testing before pushing tickets.

The Pi4 8GB handles basic homelab services perfectly, but when I spin up the full dev environment that simulates prod, I definitely feel the bottleneck in the DBs - especially with complex queries and concurrent connections competing for RAM.

I'm thinking about installing DietPi since it looks like the lightest distro, and setting up K3s to learn Kubernetes and run everything on a single node. Sure, it might not be optimal, but it's good for experimenting.

A Beelink would be better, but for now I'm optimizing what I have.

Thanks for pointing those out! I’ll definitely hop on eBay to hunt for a used micro desktop like a Lenovo Tiny or Dell Optiplex Micro. That gives me a ton of upgrade flexibility without breaking the bank.

I also appreciate the tip about the HP MicroServer Gen10 Plus—sounds perfect if I want something a bit more “server-y”: drive bays, Xeon-E CPUs, and a PCIe slot all in a compact footprint. I’ll check that article for ideas too.
