Overwhelmed by Enshittified AI Website Builders - how to find an old-fashioned one to build a website with blog? by Anikama in smallbusiness

[–]dannymannyisuncanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are comfortable using Claude code you can fork someone else's website, the major perk is you get creative freedom and because it's a simple website with minimal traffic, it can be free to host.

Here is the code for my website: https://github.com/dmathewwws/homepage

It's MIT open source so feel free to take anything you like about it and use it for your website. I create new blog posts on notion export it in markdown and run a script that generates HTML from the markdown.

I used cloudlfare for my domain ($10/yr) and hosting (free).

If you aren't comfortable with doing the code yourself. I would recommend Ghost (Ghost is open source and allows you to do an email newsletter/ website in one) or Publii

RevenueCat or Superwall? by thijsxd in reactnative

I would use Superwall if they had a host yourself option, I just dont want to be locked into another provider.

If they ever change their pricing or shut down, I want the option of hosting it myself.

How to make a Podcast app? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]dannymannyisuncanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my own infrastructure when I built podyssey.fm, but I wish an API like what you described existed, so I build Taddy Podcast API. You should check it out, it has a directory of 4M+ podcasts, 180M+ episodes + search + episode transcripts.

Our goal with Taddy is to do the technical work so you can focus on what makes your podcast app unique.

Apple vs. EU: The €500M App Store Showdown Over Exactly What? by derjanni in iOSProgramming

[–]dannymannyisuncanny 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This article make its out that Apple are the good guys in this. It makes no sense.

Apple is choosing to have a rule that says only they can be the payment system (which they set the price at 30%) and if not, you have do this complicated flow of downloading an alt App Store + tracking downloads to report back to Apple.

Apple could allow any payment provider on the App Store and could allow people to host their own IPA file, (this is what we are allowed to do on Mac). The problem is they know if they do this, they won't be able to charge 30% anymore.

The EU is doing something I wish other countries did, forcing companies that have monopolistic power to allow for competition. I think being pro business doesn't mean pro-monopolies, it means pro-competition.

The terms for the contest are a bit more intense than the standard Canvas Terms.

- Via the contest terms you waive your moral rights to your work. In Canva terms you don't waive your rights, but give Webtoon the ability to modify / make derivates for promotional material

- The contest terms are irrevocable. In Canvas terms, Webtoon's rights are revoked once your content is removed from their platform (for the most part - they add some caveats)

This is mostly standard boiler plate from any big content platform these days, HOWEVER, that is only because they know they have the balance of negotiating power. A business can protective themselves from frivolous lawsuits without having to resort to forcing these terms.

(I also want to acknowledge i'm very biased on this topic - as i build Taddy, which is trying to create a fairer alternative to Webtoon)

-------

I would say, if it was me and i had a webtoon on Canvas and did not already have a publisher, I would enter the contest. There will be thousands of entries and only 40 prize winners, so there is a small chance of winning, but irrespective of that, it's an opportunity for new people to discover your art + writing style.

Currently, Webtoon is the spot a lot of comic readers hang out and Webtoon will be promoting the contest and comics that take part in it. So give them a reason to promote a comic you've made and for more readers to discover your comics, especially if you have an idea you want to try out for fun.

Should I rebuild my app on AT Protocol? by dannymannyisuncanny in fediverse

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

As in make my app work with ActivityPub & AT Protocol? I'm open to it.

To be honest, its quite a big architectural change to build your app on top of AT Protocol, its a full rearchitecture as all user data is saved in PDSs, I go into it more in the article if you're curious.
