How can you be contacted privately?

Someone taking on Zapier. Great!!!

The only targeted ads I ever see are for items I have already purchased.

I don't see why these ads don't work like Amazon's "People who bought this also bought" recommendations.

Can Elixir be termed a "niche" language?

I started using Elixir last year after being a long-time Python dev.

Apart from the pros of using a niche language as espoused in the OP write up, the downside I see can be the lack of community, 3rd party libraries and tools and lived experiences which could be discouraging.

I am currently pleased at the current renaissance of CLIs.

If you use Python, Rich and Textualize is leading the forth. I am currently using it to build a frontend to a DRF backend and I am really enjoying the experience.

Or at least add the js and css files to the zip file.

Which curiously wasnt included.

This sounds like something the United States government would say

I first encountered the use of this pencil in one of the "Dad, How do I" videos on YouTube.

I dont.

I will never forget the first day I made a $15 sale of my first book.

A moment to be forever treasured

Promoting it before building will better inform your decision to either build or abandon the idea.

You can promote it with a cheap landing page + Figma mockup and waitlist.

No takers? abandon idea.

Takers? then build

You promote your app by promoting it before building.

I am currently building exactly this.

A CLI that connects to an SQL database, or allows users to upload .tsv, .csv, .xls files and then run plain English queries against the data source.

In Python-land, Rich and Textual are the way to go.

However, its not low/no-code.

Social graces is like a muscle. And like human muscles, it atrophies with lack of use.

So thrust yourself into every social interaction you can and watch yourself get better at it.

It's pretty simple, don't overthink.

I know Twilio pays $500/Python language article.

It's managed by Miguel Grinberg (of Flask fame).

I know Digitalocean too has a generous writing program, but I am not too sure about the price/article, but it should be in the $400-500/article range.

DYOR

Have you considered technical writing? There are some companies who pay as much as $500/article.

This is a very interesting question.

Are you interested in any particular languages?

For Python, take a look at: https://github.com/psf/requests

Co-pilot is useful for mainstream languages/frameworks like PHP/Laravel, Python/Django but becomes less and less useful or effectively suggestive with less mainstream ones like Elixir/Phoenix.

This is one of the reasons why any project I work with, I always include pre-commit (pre-commit.com).

This analysis might seem simplistic to some, but IMO the reason why the Atom text editor failed is because it was built with Electron.

2.5 years is too long to be in development, unless you dont have plans to ever launch.

LAUNCH NOW!!!

Dont put too much pressure on yourself.

Be open to all opportunities and experiences and go with the flow.

You will figure it out as you go.
