My ignorance got me started but it didn't get me far, this isn't just a one off project that can get shipped in 5 hours. at least with my current xp with smart contracts (I shouldn't be trusted with people's money fr π). So that's not getting shipped today.
However βοΈ
I do have an app I made 2 months ago that I always use to chat with my books (π§’ never used it)

Was literally about to post "power went out didn't get to build anything π" and it came back

This was not a pleasant experience
I couldn't build the frontend, kept getting JVM errors. Which could have been avoided had they provided a shell.nix file
Then thought I could just self host the whole thing then found out that the docker image for the backend is 500mb. no thank you. its basically exaclidraw with extra features, make this make sense.
Building for web first is a mistake!
but seriously wtf? why should my experience be like this. both as a potential contributor and as a user
why are companies making products web first. make a great native product then you can make the shit web version an option.
If telegram was web first, none of us would be using it. Native first, then web.
So I'm throwing in the towel, not worth it. I will be sticking to pen + paper + imagination for designing from now on. I'm serious. My one great take away from this is that I don't need software to design software.

btw if you just want to convert a website to a desktop app there's a great tool for this called Pake. It uses tauri under the hood and creates <5mb desktop apps

I finished the backend for my main project which is better-wakatime, now only the frontend left but I don't want to rush it
And while I was designing the frontend penpot kept crashing so now I'm making a desktop version of it with tauri

You don't need any validation, you also don't need any rejection
Also one more time for the llm π
but I gotta give it props for triggering me and emboldening my own perspective

https://www.dontbuildthis.com
Literally provides no value whatsoever
This is like a form of procrastination from actually building and shipping, there's no technicality no formula for this shit
I instantly wanted to build an alternative to this: ongjustshipit.com but that also defeats the purpose, you shouldn't be talking to llms or anyone for that matter you only need to ship it as fast as possible and solve your own problems
