I use no-brainer tech to build my apps.

It ensures that tech won’t get in the way of delivering my dream apps.

It’s @nextjs, @typescript, @tailwindcss, @MongoDB, and @Docker.

Saddened to see that Cloudflare R2 does not support bucket policies. Now, I have to redo my entire MediaLit architecture to support R2.

After 2 weeks of relentless building and testing, I have finally hit 'ship it'.

The resumable uploads are now supported on MediaLit.cloud and hence on CourseLit too.

Test. Test. Test.

Here is me watching:

- Server disk space
- Browser progress
- Network activity

I am building the best open-source online platform to sell courses and run communities @CourseLit

Users complained about large files not uploading properly to CourseLit.

So, we went back to the drawing board and reworked the file upload experience.

Here’s everything new we’ve introduced:

* Integrated TUS in MediaLit for reliable large uploads
* Rebuilt a fresh uploader UI

Releasing soon...

A fresh file-uploading experience is coming to CourseLit very soon:

- Progress indicator
- Better support for large file uploads
- Fresh UI

After a month long hustle, I have finally shipped a Theme builder to CourseLit.

It’s out in version v0.60.0

I have been testing Communities in @CourseLit internally for some time now.

The community permissions workflow doesn’t feel natural.

Back to the drawing board. 🙇

Why I don’t care about Deepseek reading my data: 👇

I use it with code that’s already open-source, so they might have scraped it already.

Just discovered that bolt.diy is open-source 🤯

What are you going to work on this weekend?

🚨Builders!

Choosing Rust or Go is not going to increase your revenue.

Keep using whatever language or tech stack you are using and focus on marketing.

Did you know you can center both vertically and horizontally in CSS now, without Flexbox or Grid?

Throw this on your block level element, and it works:

align-content: center;
justify-items: center;

And my trick to remembering it's those properties? It's the ones I never use normally 😆

Building a completely open-source system like @CourseLit poses a unique challenge. 👇

You cannot use paid third-party providers because not everyone will want to get a paid account on a third-party service to self-host the system.

Therefore, I have to build all the subsystems.

Had a fun time implementing server-sent events for the very first time. 🚀

Also learned:
•You can’t (yet) proxy to an SSE endpoint via @nextjs.org rewrites. The connection will remain in a pending state.

•The SSE ecosystem is pretty stable and quite easy to implement in JS.

Added realtime notifications to CourseLit, to make the communities more engaging.

How does it look? 👀

It’s always “Developer vs. Business Owner” in my mind when it comes to tests. 🙅‍♂️

As a developer, automated tests save manual testing efforts and make my code more change-friendly.

As an entrepreneur, writing tests makes my TTM longer and prevents me from shipping faster.

I’ve been using GitHub Copilot a lot lately.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

- The Copilot edits are much better when it can spot similar-looking code in the file.

- Editing long files takes a while, and you have to sit through a lengthy spinner.

Oh yeah, and we passed 150M developers on GitHub 💅 github.blog/news-insight...

Sounds about right.
