Well I guess no one wants to pay for sending millions of text messages. Also, there might be problems regarding the DSGVO since you can't just text a large amount of people without their permission.

You could also benefit from using websockets instead of sending the message to a DB and fetching it from there. This way, you'd have instant communication between the users and there's no need to store anything.

Same here

Most of the times you get so see the rating/review dialogs when the app was updated.

The App Store only shows reviews for the latest release of the app by default, not for all versions combined like the Play Store does.

So if you update your iOS app, there are no reviews displayed in the App Store for your app. To get some reviews for the new version, people show you the rating/review dialog.

At least that's how it was done at LOVOO (disclosure: I worked there). With every new version you'd see the review/rating dialog again.

What I don't get is how the .env file was even served when Laravel uses the public/index.php as starting point, so your root Folder should have been the public/ folder, not the application folder.

Mistakes like this happen, but it takes courage to post about it. Thanks for sharing it.

I really dig the minimal ui and the illustrations you choose :) Also thumbs up for using Laravel (I guess) and Vue.

Oh boy I can relate to a lot of things in this article. Like switching technologies back and forth, focussing too much on polishing instead of just delivering the damn thing.

You just think "ah, let me get this perfect and the customers will flood in automatically", but that's just wishful thinking.

In my case I think it relates to a fear of launching public and being criticized and judged.

I'll do it better on the next launch.

This is just too nice. Someone needs to partner up with you and make cute little isometric pixel art graphics for it. I'd pay to play this.

I use Fork on work and also private. Great software. One of the main reasons to switch is the merge/conflict view, which is, at least in my opinion, one of the best out there.

Previously I've used Sourcetree and SmartGit, and even some Git integration in PHPStorm/WebStorm. But for now, Fork is just lit.

If I could I just wish for one thing: mark branches which are only local and have no remote, so you can easily purge old branches after they're merged.

Also not available in Germany.

I can relate to that. I've got into programming when I joined Blank-TV (which offered free HLTV servers at the time, similar to hltv.org). They've had a system that, nowadays you'd call it autoscaling, automatically booked new relay servers onto the master server based on the viewer count.

It doesn't even have to be programming. One of my best friends started doing little gigs for clans/teams and designed their websites. Each game had its own little eco system back in the days where you could offer/buy anything from scripts, to websites and skins.

+1 for using Vue and Laravel :)

That's a good point. I'd let users pay for using their own domains.

Great landingpage dude! Was building something like that a while ago for myself until I realized, I'd just use the email+something@gmail.com feature.

But anyways, great idea! Wish you all the success or at least some decent side money.

Nice! Had the same idea for the german market some years ago. Can you lie from this or create any revenue at all?

thanks!

nice one!

First thing that comes in mind for me: how do you make sure no one publishes your code (since its plain PHP) on the web?

Have you tried dunked.com already? You should try that.

I'm currently in a team of 3 persons building a competitor for creating easy portfolios/cv's, but with main focus on the german market.
