It's a legit site using their API.
Will anyone use it? Probably not.
But these small projects are "putting in the reps."

Deepseeks servers are always busy...went down the rabbit hole of hosting my own instance.
Seem like a smart way to stay productive. Usage limits keep hitting while in flow states.
So here's the setup.
1) Local chat UI w/ @OpenWebUI
2) Hosted model via @FireworksAI_HQ

Anyone built “in app” donations for charitable causes?
Had an idea that would raise lots of money.
Fundraising pages for creators.
Gamified with:
- campaign progress bar
- top donations
- recent donations
Can’t find a solution to get the funds to charities in an effective / compliant way.

My 2025 goal is to raise $10,000 for charity.
As a tech nerd, I'm sick of VCs and corporations making all the money with software.
I think code can accelerate fundraising for non-profits and I'm on a mission to find out how.
One of my ideas is a "Vacation Raffle" with a twist...

I made a free tool to budget for nice vacations.
Was annoyed seeing epic resorts on IG and saying:
"Damn. That would be nice."
Then I asked, "How much does this cost?"
Made a spreadsheet.
It was a lot.
But having numbers makes things feel possible.
This spreadsheet helped me save each month.

Whatever happened to Omaze?
It was a great idea.
Most charities aren't digital marketing experts.
So they would run prize giveaways. Buy tickets to enter. Money goes to charity.

Made my first dollar with BidTreat.com to end 2024.
It's not much, but it means a lot. Most online businesses are about getting rich quick.
This is something different.
This dollar came from helping charities sell travel packages at their silent auctions.

I'm sick of tech content.
Podcasts, biographies, newsletters, etc.
So I'm doing a content purge by reading the "classics".
First up: East of Eden. Damn, this quote hits HARD.

Could’ve used @beehiiv.com default landing page builder.
But I like it. So I built it :)

Buying traffic for a landing page is the most “passive” solution to booking calls.
Don’t “overthink it”
I posted this as a FB ad.
Booked about 10 calls at $15 a call.
Learned so much!
