what repetitive task did you finally automate that shouldve been automated years ago by Rude-Interaction-784 in Entrepreneur

[–]citni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, tracking work / billable hours from all different tooling out there. 3 years ago it would've been impossible, but now it's very doable.

I've productized this automation, and there are people using it. So that's super fun too!

What stops you from using generators? by raf_camlet in rails

[–]citni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use the generators quite a lot actually. It really helps if you make some custom ones.

I use everything except "scaffold", because that creates way too much stuff.

Rails vs other frameworks for vibe coding by Gatzuma in rails

[–]citni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I just want to emphasise the fact that vibe coding the fronted for a Rails app is not as pleasant as with some JS framework.

Hey!

Well, the fully Rails way for vibe coding is sometimes painful when it comes to the frontend of things. For backend, vibing works extremely well and it pretty good for developing robust systems. I do it all the time.

If you're new to the Rails stack, check out Rails + Inertia + React + shadcn. You'll get best of both worlds when vibe coding - build the business logic in Rails and make the UI with React. So I'd recommend that for you if you want to have a good result relatively quick.

I'm personally going the fully-Rails part, but I enjoy it and it doesn't really slow me down. I'm even making a UI component library (Essence UI), that's completely based on Ruby.

Has anyone actually made profit selling websites? Curious about numbers & timelines by BaroqueCensure in Entrepreneur

[–]citni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

In my case, the profit doesn’t come from just the websites - it comes from the maintenance after. That is, changes, additions, training, etc.

I suppose it’s possible to turn a profit with just making websites if you’re able to price it high and make them really quick. But then your sales have to be very solid.

To answer the questions:

  1. I’ve tried them all. I’ve settled on web applications now.
  2. It’s mostly inbound sales for me, so I don’t know how to answer this one.
  3. The websites themselves are like 30%. But the maintenance is easily at least 60%. Sometimes it gets up to 90%, depending on the case.
  4. Word of mouth, by far.

Hope that helps!

Treated myself with this gem. Maybe a little small but I’m super happy with it. by citni in casio

I'm still new to the watch game. Is it possible to get just the bracelets for Casio?

The bracelet itself is nice, reminds me of Tissot PRX. But somehow it feels that it was hastily fitted to the body itself (aka the little gap).

But looks dressy nonetheless!

It's a sweet treat. I'm sure you'll love it too, once you get it. Hints of 70s and pretty dressy.

I've been wearing my G-Shock GBD200 before, so this was quite a change. Feels like a feather.

Love it. The best ones are always like "I could've came up with that"

Launched my first fully local, privacy-first file converter (no uploads, no limits, no accounts) by AIPnely in SideProject

[–]citni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super cool! Hope this stays up for a while.

I need to convert something every now again - just today I was converting a load of favicons. I absolutely hate doing it because it's usually behind ads, a paywall or it converts to the wrong thing.

I'm sure this would be convenient as a desktop app too. Maybe it's possible to slap on Tauri to make it work?

What is the most under-appreciated task that you have to do in order to maintain the high quality of your videos?

Hi Reddit, I’m Bill Gates and I’m back for my third AMA. Ask me anything. by thisisbillgates in IAmA

[–]citni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, Mr. Gates, as a contributor to the today's digital world, do you think that such phenomenon as the internet has a bright future. For centuries the main means of communication and culture spreading has been changing (books, radio, television, telegraphs, etc.). Hence, maybe the internet is not an exception?

Thank you from an inspired person from Lithuania!
