damechen··on Hacking Hypertext – How the Hyperlink Created the Modern Economy (2020)
I have to admit the web is built on top of hypertext. It creates links and connect everything together!
damechen··on Therapy turned out to be my key to consistency as a solo founder
As a solo founder myself, I need to keep a healthy mentality.

Most of the time when we get burned out, it’s not physical, but mental. Then things started to be off rails.

Very well written!

Hey Kamel, I just added the video pagination inside the video page. Check it out, haha

hey jsnk, email sign up is supported now! https://indielog.backlogs.co/changelog/support-email-sign-up...

Hey, I am really sorry, it sounds terrible!

I just fixed the 404 issue for the feedback tool. For the Github popup, I can see new users signed up via Github with no issue.

May I know what browser are you using? Is the popup blocked by the browser somehow? Thanks!

Hey Charlie, thanks for support as always!!!

I really didn't expect this much attention. I will do an update on IndieLog in a bit.

This is such an invaluable idea! I am adding it to my roadmap: https://indielog.backlogs.co/post/pagination-to-the-video-19...

Thanks a lot!

I picked up reactjs as the framework, and firebase services for the backend. Life becomes much easier. I tried Vercel & Render, both are good alternatives.

Glad you like it!!!

The visitor are like hundreds every day. But today is totally different :)

For speaking in another language, so far we don't have people do that. I am not an English speaker as well.

But if you think our platform is useful for you to simply document your own journey, feel free to say it in your own language :)

I want to try livestream, but my 19mo daughter would not allow me to do that.

Actually as you can see, most of my videos do not have good lighting because I recorded them in the evening time after my little daughter went to bed. In the day time, I only got fragmented time slot so I can add things, whatever bug fixes or new features, little by little.

So blocking hours to do livestream would be hard for me as for now :(

This idea is mind blowing!!! We can make Github more fun, like giving users options to attach audio, or video along with the commit. World nowadays is no longer text-based, it needs more context!

Hey Sam, glad to have you onboard!
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
That's so true! If I heard Trello Power-ups, I will definitely give it a go.

Actually for Backlogs, some features are already taken from IndieLog, like the upvote and commenting. I just implemented the roadmap boards and the changelog page.

Haha, I built the Backlogs on the side, so it is a slow process :)

damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Totally agree!
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
You are right! We may spend days and hours on triaging some bug, but it only needs one-line change. The researching and investigation are more valuable than the final deliverable!

For me, I will basically say anything from getting the idea, to doing some research, to implementing, then to demoing it. It's all about the journey!

26 hours nonstop? You didn't take any sleep?
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Would like to see if we can bring the live streaming and code sharing to our platform! Wow, you just opened up some hidden potential to IndieLog. Thanks!
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Haha, you made my day Chris! This issue bothers for quite a long time, and I just didn't know how to fix it. In fact, I thought this is just some css issue, and didn't affect the functionality, so didn't invest too much time on it, also because of my procrastination :)

Thanks for suggesting the fix!!!

damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Yes, we kinda have that feature, but in a different way. As most of our members are bootstrapping their own product. Any video if it is related to a particular product, it can be attached to the product. Like our member David creates a product called Remake, all related videos can be linked to Remake in this page https://indielog.com/product/remake

Hmm, I think that would be cool to have. Indeed some of our members are Youtubers as well. It would be a duplicate effort for them to upload the same thing on IndieLog. Thanks for sharing this idea. I will definitely see how I can make it work!

I added it to our backlogs: https://indielog.backlogs.co/post/allow-indietubers-to-share...

Yes, it's on my todos, will make it in this week!
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Indeed! We are like virtual colleagues, help each other out, cheer for any achievement, and grow ourselves and our products together.
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
haha thanks! It's the first time I heard someone described in this way (justin.tv + github).

The platform is still very young, 4 months old. I am trying to bring more features into it. Audio update is the next thing.

damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Haha, do it, it's going to be fun!
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Thank you Joseph! It feels amazing to build a niche community out of nothing.

Also it's interesting to see most of our members never did vlog before. But they still love to share their updates on IndieLog. I think it's because people feel that there are like-minded people around. You can't get the feeling by posting a video on YT.

damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Hey Nicholas, thanks! Yes, the world is becoming more virtually. Video content definitely has lots of potentials to release.
damechen··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
Yes, 2 minutes is like a standup update. Our members also think the limit is very helpful to keep them concise. A good way to practice speak in some sense.

The best thing so far is definitely making lots of friends around the world. We can see each other, hear each other. It's the feeling that none of those text-based forums can give.

This is such a great idea lukevp!!! I will consider to have those featured ones.
