Building the modern cloud at vizalo.co in the 🇬🇧

VPS starting at $8 per month
Pinned
Running a late Black Friday credits giveaway for @vizalo.bsky.social!

You’ll get between $10-$50 in credits to use on any VPS when you use the code: WHENBLACKFRIDAY24 💰

Code has a 50 use limit, so #buildinpublic get it fast!
Finding myself using this app less and less and it’s a real shame

There’s so much more going on over on X and there’s more engagement

There I said it

Learning how to deploy something to a VM with a container is a great way to get started with self hosting in 2025

- Run with Docker
- Reverse proxy with Caddy for automatic SSL

Once you’ve got that down move onto something that does this for you like Coolify

Starting to see an uptick in usage for our free tools

Response time checker seems to be popular at the moment

I never listen to music whilst coding

Friendly Sunday reminder that every tier of Vizalo Managed Apps include 1TB of bandwidth for free

With Render this would cost $270 per month
With DigitalOcean you’d have to pay for their most expensive tier ($392p/m) to get 900GB

How to ship in 2025

- Only buy 1 domain
- Build with your most comfortable stack
- Get a small VPS and go from local to prod with one of the many free or cheap tools out there

Happy Shipper Saturday

If you’re using one of @vizalo.co’s competitors (starts and ends with the letter R) this would cost you $295 per month 👀🤯

Anyone using an open source tool for changelogs?

Completed 30 Jira tickets in the last sprint and worked less hours than usual on Vizalo

Maybe we need Christmas ever sprint

One thing I learned from 2024 is that marketing is a powerful tool that most of us who build think we don’t need
January 2, 2025 at 5:30 PM
If you only do one thing in 2025 make sure it’s marketing

If you aren’t shipping then are you even an indie hacker?
