Check out jwillmer/ai-status at GitHub @bottlepalm. It helps keep track of all the small fixes that are going on simultaneously. I crated the tool for me since I have similar workflows.

We recently started home renovation and needed a todo app to keep up with the tasks. I noticed that the existing todo apps are annoying to use and lacking a good ai integration. So I started vibe coding my own app. Fully offline capable and with ai integration at its core.

I run it at https://ferdig.de

My company offers digital processes solutions - like dynamic checklists - for remote locations (vessels, trucks, airplanes, inspections) with no (constant) internet connection. Get in touch with me if that is something your park could benefit from.

We used MM in the past and switched to Zulip. The docker upgrade path of MM is a pain and lacks support. (They switched to a new postgres version without providing any upgrade tutorial.) But honestly if you like to use a team chat to get work done Zulip works the best. The thread tagging inside a group and the keyboard support makes it easy to follow different conversations in a stream.

A inventory app with additional fields for manuals/pics. I have many small electronic parts from China that I need to keep track of the documentation and the stock. The documentation is particular hard to find online if you don't download it when buying.

The app is designed as a PWA and runs completely offline. Everything is stored in cache. You can connect a ChouchDB to sync across devices and have a backup.

Nothing to demo yet but I plan to host the app for free and take some small amount for the database connection if the user does not want to host/connect to their own.

The investors I know and have to work with are mostly no technicians. They scan the news for investments and reported problems in growing business. If you can convince them that you thought about scaling issues and know how to solve them then they come up you should be fine :)

I hear this quite often but the case is that if you are looking for financing the main technical concern of the investors is how (and if) your application does scale - talking about SaaS. If a SaaS gets popular the new user load can be quite heavy and in the past there were a lot of story's about companies that needed to rebuild there system because of this (I think pipedrive was the last example I heard of). Although it makes sense to ignore scaling at the beginning you need to design your application in a way that you can easily transition to something that can scale.

As someone who is hesitant of using (free) cloud services there you pay with your information I really like that there are some thoughtful and aware people working at Google. If it turns out that they have the power to affect decisions like this in there company I might choose to use more Google products.

I seam to have a bad timing moving my password from Chrome to bitwarden:

- Password export (button) in Chrome (62) is not available

- Importing passwords from Chrome to Firefox works

- Exporting password from Firefox Quantum (57) is not available
