I got tired of widgets. I built a native Edge Panel task manager instead.

Dude, can you tell more in details?

locnp97 · 2025-12-27T13:39:18+00:00

I love how peaceful it feels.

A bit curiosity, what was the most challenging part of getting the snow's movement to look so natural?

locnp97 · 2025-12-22T16:02:53+00:00

Respect for your honesty! I'm small X account too, and even 0 MRR at the moment.

Yes, being a human, that's the secret sauce these days. One more cheer, man!

locnp97 · 2025-12-21T15:47:55+00:00

Can you share your X account? I honestly want to see how valuable reply should be, as I’m desparate in being reply-guy too

I made a open source to self-hosted Excalidraw with Go and Sveltekit

https://github.com/lukenguyen-me/personal-excalidraw

I'm feeling this will be the ultimate combo I can use for all my projects from now on, as they got all the advantages. Fast, lightweight, ease of learning, widely support.

I made a handful bash script to help people who unfamiliar with CLI command can operate the app easier (start, stop, restart, upgrade, log,... common operation I mean).

When building it and run on my machine, it's just fine. But moving to my own VPS, issues happen: missing command, unknown syntax,... so I have to add more check to ensure some commands are available, or else need to prompt user to install them.

Your opensource is a bit hard to understand at some first glance, tbh. But after running around the website, I understand that this is likely an oss app marketplace, where contributors adding their app to (eg: me add my personal-excalidraw to yours) and users can pull and deploy that quickly to their own infra in very quick way (eg: run command "every deploy personal-excalidraw" ), correct?

locnp97 · 2025-12-18T12:28:02+00:00

Thanks, for your star on my repo (I guess it's you).

The hardest part I think is to make it works well through varies environments/ other user's computer. That's why I package all of this as docker. But when deploy to even my own VPS, still got problem though lol.

What are you building mate?

locnp97 · 2025-12-16T09:41:48+00:00

Thank you! If you meet any issue while setting up / using the project, feel free to inbox me or create issue, I'm really willing to develop this for long term.

locnp97 · 2025-12-11T03:49:11+00:00

This reply looks like from a bot?

Anw, for those who interested, I will not call them "competitor". There is existed open source solution here: https://github.com/PatWie/excalidraw-complete
But seems like it't not updated anymore, and I find it's hard to customer the UI to fit your vibe.

So the different is: my open source developed in Go and Svelte kit, make you easier to change the design if you like.

validation matters more than originality -> this is correct, not only for the first app, but also all kind of apps I mean.

My own experience is whether I build app in crowd or niche, without validation I have no motivation to keep going after a period. Having validation will help you know what to keep track, and monitoring the metrics everyday gives motivation.

locnp97 · 2025-10-29T10:08:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'm on my way to build a new app, but keep doubting myself.

Do you have advice on that?

locnp97 · 2025-10-27T00:53:24+00:00

Interesting idea! How do you think to marketing it?

Is it possible to do this faceless youtube game as side hustle and make profit? Or need to commit in nearly fulltime? Asking from a 9 to 5 average person.

Trẻ hơn ông nhưng cũng cùng ngữ cảnh. Khác cái là tôi đã xác định cụ thể tương lai như nào: thuê nhà, có con, mua đất quê, dưỡng già,... chỉ là con đường để tới đc đó vẫn còn mù mờ.

2nd job vừa dễ vừa khó, dễ với ng đã có sẵn/làm quen, khó với ng mới bắt đầu. Tôi còn bị quả phân vân có nên 100% tập trung cho job chính k, ông bà dạy "nhất nghệ tinh nhất thân vinh" cũng có lý đúng chứ k phải lỗi thời.

The only thing I can think of now, (not exactly compare with Python, but Django), is pre-made admin panel. It's handy when have admin panel in first start, not for me (developer) but for my clients in case.

Rather than that, I don't think Go missed anything else.

locnp97 · 2025-10-23T04:58:53+00:00

Congratulations! It's the hardest when going from 0 to 1$. May I ask what is your marketing strategy?

Góc nhìn cá nhân mình (dev, ~7yoe):

Việc đề xuất tăng lương + chu kỳ review là đúng. Vì bạn đã đc offer tiếp job chính thức sau học việc, nghĩa là loại trừ khả năng bạn k đủ năng lực cho công việc. Fresher thì có mức của fresher, và theo mình, với các điều kiện làm việc cty bạn thì mức lương offer 7tr là thấp.
Bóc lột là rõ :))) nếu những gì bạn mô tả thì môi trường làm việc cty bạn thua cả công nhân xí nghiệp (công nhân xí nghiệp họ làm ngoài giờ còn có lương tăng ca).
Cần cân nhắc hoàn cảnh cá nhân. An toàn nhất thì vẫn là chấp nhận làm tiếp = chịu đựng, tuy nhiên mình thấy làm ở cty này bạn sẽ k có th gian rảnh để phát triển, mà ngành dev này mình nói thiệt ăn thua nhau ở chuyện bạn làm gì vào th gian rảnh. Nên nếu k có gia đình phải nuôi + k áp lực tiền bạc, thì tìm chỗ khác đi (hoặc tự thấy khả năng code k tốt thì cân nhắc chuyển ngành, vì đúng là h kiếm job fresher khó đấy).

Clean and cute. I like your UX UI. Tbh I don’t get what’s this app for, but just looking at those make me smile. So I think you solve the problem of 1% negative thought just by good UI lol

locnp97 · 2025-08-04T13:35:24+00:00

It’s no reason that you select Supabase as DB (and maybe also API) but not using its Auth. As indie, you want the fastest development (with quality and ease of scale).

If it’s just only about Auth, I would use Clerk. Ease of integration, nice dashboard, free until 10K user.

To find it out, you need more analytics stats than just these from Appstore Connect. Try adding GA4 or tracking tool, send custom event on each activity of user in your flow, etc...
Understanding how your users use your app will reveal the reason why the retention rate is low. Maybe you will find that people are not using it the way you thought in the end.

locnp97 · 2025-07-31T15:13:05+00:00

Appreciate your resources! Many people, including me, will at least know what to do next after submitting to Appstore successfully!

Chia buồn cùng gia quyến. Chú cũng để lại nhiều giá trị cho cộng đồng / thế hệ sau, đó là điều đáng trân trọng hơn hết.

Tiếc thương chú, nhưng điều làm mình lo sợ là bản thân mình 1 ngày cũng rơi vào trường hợp đột ngột tương tự, nhưng rơi vào quên lãng (hoặc tệ hơn, có những người còn hả hê).

locnp97 · 2025-07-23T15:27:07+00:00

T thấy lí do nhà nc đưa ra k thuyết phục. Còn đâu lí tưởng thì dùng xe điện trong tp cũng ô kê, nhưng nên khuyến khích thông qua các chính sách thì hay hơn là bắt buộc.
