I am not sure what is getting more love in my feed the Checo / Bottas announcement or the Taylor Swift announcement.

One of the biggest things that drives me crazy about #SvelteKit is the lack of a single hook to intercept fetch—whether it’s server or client side. Would make life so much easier. #BuildInPublic #SimplyMonitor #Svelte

Just finished building the mobile and desktop wireframe layouts in Balsamiq! Excited to start cranking out more wireframes over the next few weeks—first up: the monitors page. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Balsamiq

About 90% done converting SimplyMonitor from SvelteKit to Nuxt—pretty happy with the time it took! Should be back to building new features tomorrow night. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #Nuxt

I’ve decided to move from SvelteKit to Nuxt for the SimplyMonitor web app—made the call before I got too far in. I still think Svelte is the superior framework compared to Vue, but SvelteKit has some catching up to do compared to Nuxt and Next. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic

Is Chart.js still the go-to library for charting in web apps? I’ve used it in the past, but curious if anything newer is gaining traction these days. Would love to hear what others are using! #BuildInPublic #SimplyMonitor

@peldi.bsky.social Really enjoyed your conversation on The Panel podcast! I was a huge fan of Balsamiq back when it was a desktop app, but haven’t explored the web version yet. I’d love to use it now as I build SimplyMonitor.io and share the journey along the way.

Today’s been a good day for #BuildInPublic here on Bluesky, so I figured I’d share a podcast episode I’m listening to that’s super relevant to the topic: overcast.fm/+ABM1BzxWpaE with @justinjackson.ca @briancasel.com @jay.blog @peldi.bsky.social

Peldi is the founder of Balsamiq and pioneered transparent business building in 2007. In this episode, he came to the Panel looking advice on “build in public.” We invited Jay Clouse, of Creator Scien...

I'm trying to separate webhook events for a single Stripe account.
I have one Stripe account and multiple webhook listeners, each for a different product type.
Has anyone encountered this issue? How do you handle it?

SimplyMonitor will support multiple organizations per user, each with its own plan (including free). I’m worried people might abuse this to get around free tier limits. Thinking of limiting users to 2 free orgs max. Thoughts? #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic

Been heads down on the #SimplyMonitor UI for a few hours tonight—finally at a point where I can share a preview of the main layout. Would love any feedback! #BuildInPublic

I’ve been struggling with productivity lately, so I decided to shake things up and work from the excellent 24/7 work club, Switchyards, for my late-night sessions. Hoping the change of scenery helps me get back in the zone! #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic

Started working on the UI for #SimplyMonitor tonight! I have a long way to go, but the initial layout and OAuth 2.0 PKCE flows are coming together.
Stack: SvelteKit, Kinde, Font Awesome, and Tailwind CSS.
Excited to see it take shape! #BuildInPublic

Tried Ngrok & Zrok paid tiers to let my AWS Lambda agents (running globally) communicate with my local dev env—no luck. But turns out, Tailscale (a tool I already love) handled it easily and for free using Funnels! Huge win. #SimplyMonitor #BuildInPublic #AWS #Tailscale

Haven’t had many updates on #SimplyMonitor the last few days—been heads down building the communication layer between the main backend and the agents running API monitors across different regions. Using #AWS #SQS to make it all work. Exciting progress! #BuildInPublic

Late night grind, but I finally locked down the schema for one of the trickier parts of SimplyMonitor—conditions & assertions for monitors.
Feels great to have this piece in place! Making solid progress.
