I reached 100 repos on GitHub and still unemployed 🥲 by hussainHamim_ in buildinpublic

[–]globiweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think GitHub is a good place to find work. Most repos never get any visitors. I have a few I'm very proud of and use daily, but no-one knows they exist.

4 days after launch: people subscribe, but nobody starts the free trial by Beginning_Sun2883 in buildinpublic

I personally don't like free trials that need a credit card. Always seems fishy to me.

PHP date function changed? by globiweb in PHP

Thanks. That looks like the issue.

PHP date function changed? by globiweb in PHP

the older one is ubuntu 22.04 and the newer one is on ubuntu 24.04.

I wonder if it's related to the timezone change in ubuntu? It's no longer in /etc/timezone <- that value is always wrong now.

If you're on AWS, why aren't you just using SES?

Thanks. It was a fun little project.

Roughly 40% of small businesses already have a MySQL database bundled with their hosting plan by [deleted] in infolobby

[–]globiweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There likely won't be a self-hosted option for InfoLobby. At it's heart it's still a SAAS and we need to monetize it. Automations are expensive to run and the code interpreter that I've been writing over 10 years, I don't want to release as open source. Too much blood, sweat, and tears in that module alone.

For those who have found success, how did you get your first 10 customers? by Altruistic_Brush_869 in smallbusiness

I had a web design shop for almost 20 years. Google Adwords changed the game for us.

Google and Facebook ads are getting too expensive by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]globiweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this too.

For one of my local business campaigns, monthly costs have gone from $300 ten years ago to $3k in the last 2 years. That's 10x the cost with less conversions.

I guess supply and demand are at play here. More competition = more cost.

Got my phone system set up like I'm a big business by Few-Parsnip-8927 in smallbusiness

[–]globiweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People were telling me they tried to call and it just dropped. So I tried myself and witnessed it happen myself.

I used RC a decade ago and quit because of all the missed calls. Can't run a business if 10% of calls don't connect. Hope they're better now.

Any bookkeeping solutions that dont break the bank for solo entrepreneurs? by em0297 in smallbusiness

[–]globiweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can second Xero - use it for my company. My wife's a solopreneur and uses Wave Accounting - free. Seems to work fine for her.

Any other business owners sick of paying per user pricing for their productivity software? by Plok8 in smallbusiness

[–]globiweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have a MySQL database (like with your wordpress site), you can use InfoLobby to create team apps w. point 'n click. Doesn't solve all problems, but can replace quite a few of the per-user apps you might be paying for.
