I'm working on an online photo gallery platform for professional photographers. The MVP is ready, but I'm also using the opportunity to learn more about SEO, marketing, and communication. This is the URL: https://picstack.com
One interesting lesson is to see the effort involved in acquiring new customers and setting up funnels, especially when bootstrapping with a small budget. Sometimes, as developers, we are in our bubbles and don't realize how much skill one needs to figure out the customer acquisition domain.
Posts like these are the reason why I'm checking HN. It's really nice to read about Linux's humble beginnings especially given how wide-spread it has become today.
After being annoyed by most online json formatters out there, I decided to build a simple keyboard-driven one. One of the main things that I was looking for was to have it easily accessible, without the need to open new browser tabs or programs that I might need later like vscode so I enabled PWA for it.
When I noticed https://jsonformatter.com domain was not used I sent an email to the owner and he actually agreed to host my app since it was open source.
There are other people using it right now, but I enjoy using it every time I need to make a json more readable.
I was a bit annoyed I couldn't use keyboard shortcuts in most online json formatters so I build my own mostly for my personal use. After a while I got the idea to ask the guy who owns jsonformatter.com if he wants to host it and after a while he got on board. So there you go : https://jsonformatter.com/
