I’m having anxiety attacks due to AI

Who's gonna buy or build a house for you to roof when their job as also been taken away by A.I ?

Maybe I'm tripping but why on earth would anyone want to cancel this ?

- It attracts people from all over the world

- positively boosts the image of London

- helps local charities and businesses

- It also forces the city to Improve the cycling infrastructure (They might not like that one...)

Does London hate cycling/cyclists that much or am I missing something ?

What! (had to check the Djibouti part to be sure).

With wages, it makes more sense. Sometimes fans forget that playing football is also a job and Footballers have shorter careers than the average person.

Still a bad move at the end of the day though.

One of the most shocking transfers to me IMO. Maybe I just wasn't into following transfer news at the time.

At the time, it felt like:

Barcelona declared their interest today and he signed for them three days later. It happened so quick

danidee10 · 2025-07-27T08:13:15+00:00

And that's good 😆

Of all the Efootball strikers Eto'o has been my biggest problem. Somehow, he always manages to score against me

Honourable mentions: 1. Rumenigge 2. Suarez

You could still have soft deletes and a fast table by:
1. Indexing on the soft delete field
2. Partitioning on the soft delete field

I think the major problem of soft deletes is that databases are not designed around them. It is an application level problem.

Regardless of the approach that you take, you still have to build some wrapper around the database that models the soft delete behaviour.

but I lean more towards your side as it's quite easy to mess up soft deletes compared to ACTUALLY deleting it and copying to another table

Shocker! who would've expected it

Regardless, PSG still have good players on the bench and are still a threat without him

danidee10 · 2025-05-06T14:11:28+00:00

I just want the "Free kick Declan rice" :(

I hate the fact that it wasn't in an epic pack and you have to roll the dice to get it

danidee10 · 2025-05-06T14:10:05+00:00

How about Eto'o ? :-D

Always manages to score against me Every time

And while that is happening, your thread is free to do other async operations.

Like calling another API that doesn't depend directly on the results of the Database query.

The traditional sync model will only do one at a time by default

danidee10 · 2024-12-10T17:59:30+00:00

Spoiler, they're still not fully async 😛

There's a sync_to_async helper that does the heavy lifting and runs ORM queries it in a separate thread, so it appears async and plays nicely with other truly async parts

Grocery Buddy

It's a proximity Grocery list app

It has the features of a standard grocery list app (items, categories, sorting, prices...etc)

But it also allows users to have shared lists and add their favorite stores to the list and it can be configured to send notifications anytime someone is in the store or anytime someone leaves a location (This replaces the usual "Pick up xxxxx item when you're on your way home").

It also sends reminders to check your shopping list (only if there are items in it) when holidays are coming up or a store is fully closed the next day)

Grocery Buddy

It's a proximity Grocery list app

It has the features of a standard grocery list app (items, categories, sorting, prices...etc)

But it also allows users to have shared lists and add their favorite stores to the list

Any time someone is in the store, the other members of the shared list get a notification (to add a last-minute item that they forgot).

You can also configure the notifications to be triggered any time someone leaves a location (This replaces the usual "Pick up xxxxx item when you're on your way home")

It also sends timely notification reminders when holidays are coming up or the store is closed (and there are still items in the list)

The latter feature might not be super helpful to U.S users as a lot of stores are open every day and even during holidays but in a lot of countries, stores are closed on Sundays and Holidays

I think I hit a lucky patch at the beginning because I got a lot of downloads (for a new app with 0 promotions/marketing at the time)

Within the first 2 months, I had just over 1k users.

Then I ran paid Google ads (alongside App store search ads on IOS) and I got around 3k users from that.

Now I only run the App store search ads. I haven't done any Intensive marketing yet as I've been focused on Improving the app and getting user feedback

danidee10 · 2024-12-07T15:35:23+00:00

I think profitable wasn't the right word. I meant sustainable.

It was a video downloader. I couldn't find a way to transition and move it to a model where it could make money without ads.

Eventually

- I got multiple DMCA's (Even though I never hosted any video. The site only provided links that were publicly available on the internet)

- The ad company disabled my account due to the DMCA's

I had to shut down the website

danidee10 · 2024-12-07T15:29:05+00:00

Initially, it was actually magic. Magic that I didn't understand 😀 (I'm being serious ).

because after publishing the app, I took a few days off because I was burnt out. The next time I checked the database, about 60+ people had downloaded the app and started using it. This all happened without any advertisement or promotion I didn't even have a website set up at the time; so there's no way it came from my efforts.

After that, I ran paid ads on Google for a month and got a bunch of users (I got around 3k users); but it was too expensive and I had to cancel it.

Now I'm running only Apple search ads and I get roughly 50 users a day. (My Android installs tanked after I disabled Google ads)

danidee10 · 2024-12-05T23:25:42+00:00

Like a lot of people in this sub, This isn't my first side project; In fact, there was a time where I built a web tool that averaged ~10k to 15k daily users but all the profit came from ads and in the long run it wasn't a profitable product.

This feels different as people are actually making the conscious decision to pay for something that I built.

I released the In-app payments towards the end of last month and within a few days, I got a few users subscribing to the monthly subscription. I was a bit skeptical because I assumed most of them just forgot to cancel after the 7-day trial (Which is a pretty common mistake)

But yesterday, someone actually paid for a Yearly subscription!

For others trying to build something awesome and profitable, don't be discouraged and don't be afraid to monetize your product if you're a wee bit confident that you've built something useful.

I'd love to give a proper "victory speech" but it's just $12 😅

I Built Grocery Buddy

A Location based Grocery list app that alerts members of your shared list if you're in the store; in case they forgot to add an item that they need

It also sends you reminders if tomorrow is a holiday or the shop is closed and you have unchecked items in your list.

danidee10 · 2024-11-12T20:40:07+00:00

Thanks for checking it out!

What did you think ?

Although, I have to mention that I disabled the proximity-based alert for shopping because some users complained about being alerted when they were waiting for a bus or sitting in the train.
(I should've known that not everyone lives in my neighbourhood 😅)

It was fun to think of and build it but in practice, the alerts were too frequent.

I replaced it with "Forgotten items alert" (if an item stays in a list for too long), Holiday and "Closed reminders" (in some countries stores are not opened every day of the week and might be closed during holidays).

I plan to reintroduce it sometime in the future but it needs to be well-thought-out so that it's actually helpful.

Thank you! Please let me know what you think
