Need a post-deploy execution? a local emulator setup? it's all in the firebase.json file.
that's why I still love and enjoy #Firebase
so why use #supabase if it just works for me?

locator.ltd started as a way to save places you love—share a link, and it maps everything for you. No more copy-pasting into Google Maps.
But I realized first-time users need more—opening the app to a blank screen isn’t ideal.
So we’re adding an Explore page! 🌍🔍

Sometimes I love sharing technical tips. Heres another one:
You know you can search Google by site, right?
site:mysite.com
Well, you can also do it programmatically using googlesearch-python 👇
Great for finding content on sites that limit search or charge for queries. 👀

Today marks our first churn for Locator - an unsubscribed user. 🫠.
Some thoughts
🔹 Focus too much on new users and not enough on retention will bite you.
🔹 Zero visibility on why they left—was it a bug? A missing feature? No clue.
🔹 Funny how one bad thing makes me question everything. onwards!

Not usually a “new features before PMF” kind of guy, but sometimes, small improvements add real value.
So here I am, tweaking Locator's visuals:
📍 Map markers now show place categories.
🟢 Green = Open, 🔴 Red = Closed.
One less click for two key travel details. 🚀 #buildinpublic

Here’s a reminder I keep telling myself as a solo developer-founder:
That new feature can wait if:
🔹 No user has requested it
🔹 You haven’t reached product-market fit yet
🔹 You have pending marketing/sales tasks you should probably finish first
Build what matters. Sell what exists 🚀

Going beyond: Some sites (especially social media ones) have aggressive scraping blocks.
In those cases, I use a scraping API (e.g., RapidAPI). They offer free tiers & save you a ton of headaches.
Trust me—don’t go down the bot-detection rabbit hole. Pay the fee, keep your users happy. 🚀

Advanced crawling: When a basic request fails, I found crawl4ai helps. It handles async crawling, iframe processing, & more.
Great for sites with anti-bot measures.

The most basic option: curl (or requests). Believe it or not, this gets you 80% of the way.
Pro-tip💁♂️: Always set a user-agent header—it improves results & reduces blocks.

Dev Tip of the Day – Use PostHog
If you do not know how your users behave, you've got a problem PH can solve:
MVP:
1️⃣ A PostHog wrapper for your app stack
2️⃣ An identifier to match user IDs with PostHog sessions
3️⃣ Autocapture to track actions automatically
code to get you started👇 #buildinpublic
