Welcome Marie! Nice to see you on here! 👋

Ahh Forest! I love this app.

Im a big fan of its gamification. Admittedly I need to get back into the habit of using it frequently but been a life saver over the years.

Looking good! I’ve been really enjoying Ghostty recently, got the Tokyonight theme as well so I’m happy.

Terminal and Neovim looking 🔥

Less afraid of future success, more afraid of losing the things I’ve already succeeded in.

Don’t know about the Mac terminal but i’m a big fan of Ghostty now.

Pretty good looking terminal straight out of the box and has tonnes of themes as well.

6th for me. Although might do some side projects before then. 😄

Honestly I’m a lot less likely to sign up for an app if it only does social oAuth. If I’m on the fence about signing up and it’s only oAuth, that makes my decision and I don’t sign up.

Personally it’s username/email and password all the way.

Probably won’t try Gumroad but been a big of Polar as an MoR recently.

Until Stripe has a native MoR probably won’t use it again. Not worth the stress of international sales tax as a small creator IMO.

Such a good film! Every time I watch it, I just love it more.

I’m so happy I got the chance to see it in 70MM IMAX last year. Out of this world experience.

This entire soundtrack is 🔥

Only soundtrack that gets close for me is Oppenheimer but interstellar is still top.

Seeing Hans perform this live will forever be a favourite memory of mine.

Honestly this is my experience whenever I use AI for coding in a project.

It ends up hallucinating things that don’t exist and gaslighting me into thinking it does even when I tell it doesn’t.

Then I spend more time debugging it than if I just wrote it...

I think I’ve got accustomed to it over the years now. Although the slightly refreshed UI they just released is a bit better.

My advice is go with IaC, makes life 1000x easier.

What are you after on there?
December 8, 2024 at 12:13 PM
Gotta ask the real question, what’s your favourite Hans Zimmer soundtrack or track?

I’m a lover of cornfield chase and time like most are. But after seeing him live, I really like Mombasa, Discombobulate, and Like a dog chasing cars.

I became such a lover of using Todoist that I made an app to extend it and add more functionality, doify.io 😅
December 7, 2024 at 7:20 PM
I’ll second that, wrapped was no surprise this year for me 😅

Hidden, left-side mounted dock for the win! 🙌

Here's mine though when it's shown. TBF might remove a few off it soon.

I agree although it does surprise me how many non-tech people don’t know Stripe.

I think in our tech bubble we’re so used to it, we assume everyone knows it but it’s not always the case.

I’m always weary with prices now after the planetscale debacle earlier in the year…
December 6, 2024 at 2:59 PM
Look forward to it.

Couldn’t both of those apply to Stripe as well though?

Stripes checkout while more recognisable is still different to what they’re accustomed to.

And while Stripes prices are less likely to increase they still could. I wouldn’t base a decision on ifs and maybes personally.
December 6, 2024 at 2:46 PM
No worries, always happy to chat!

Curious to hear what you decide to go for in the end!
December 6, 2024 at 2:39 PM
That’s the impression I’m getting. SaaS is an ever growing industry, govs would be crazy not to look at getting their share of VAT.

I can’t comment on if someone will notice. I personally wouldn’t take the risk but that’s a personal choice.

For me the peace of mind I get from an MoR is worth it.
December 6, 2024 at 2:33 PM
Pretty much. I would’ve used Stripe in a heartbeat but the tax issue is one I can’t get past.

Accountants will cost me more than an MoR and that’s before keeping on top of when I need to register and deadlines etc.

A lot of govs are cracking down on SaaS sales tax/VATs, not worth the risk IMO.

Good choice in music Pauline. 👌
December 6, 2024 at 2:23 PM
Having just gone round most MoRs for Doify, I settled on Polar.

Paddles support times were quite slow and miss features I’d like. E.g. multiple stores per account

Creem was a very close second and TBF would’ve been quite happy with them.

Went with polar as it’s OS and has the features I want.
