For testing I started scanning random websites with statusscout.dev and I'm surprised how many of them leak sensitive files.

It found something on around 25% of the websites. Mostly it's some kind of test.php with phpinfo() or /wp-admin but sometimes also package-lock.json or pipeline files.

It feels weird when people call me "bro" in reddits comment section, which happens quite often lately. I guess I'm getting old

Just published the new version of statusscout.dev including monitoring and much more 🥳

Before officially launching, I want to do more testing - I'll give away 6 months of free premium for anyone who is willing to test and give me some feedback :)

I've been working on accounts for statusscout.dev lately. I don't have as much time as I'd like to, so it's slow progress - but still progress :)

Here's a small preview on the recent state 👀
My goal is to finish it till end of October #BuildInPublic

I've decided on a name for the website health check - I'll call it Status Scout :) The first working version is now online:

statusscout.dev

Feel free to try it out, and please report all bugs you find 😄 #buildinpublic

My website health dashboard is starting to look nice 😊 it also has a dark mode now 🌓😄 #BuildInPublic

Built a website health dashboard in my spare time inspired by needs at work - it includes various cron checks, custom test flows, and error notifications. Thinking about refining it, open-sourcing it and putting it online for others to use. But still a lot to do until it is ready :)

Super happy that Thunderbird is now also available for Android. Just switched, and it is way faster than my previous Mailing App.

I took some time today to implement some small feature requests for bsky-embed. With version 0.2.5 you can now:

- disable images
- disable videos
- disable video autoplay

A while ago, I've built workout.lol - an open source fitness app. After some licensing issues with the exercise videos, I sold the app to some guy who just abandoned it.

So I'm really happy to see that @snouzy.bsky.social forked the project and improved it a lot. Go check it out!

Yo, I need some opinions here.

What do you use for sending newsletters and transactional emails? #buildinpublic
February 26, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Switching from vercel to a self-hosted coolify instance to save some bucks. Works great so far! I think coolify will be my default for future projects #buildinpublic

Anyone ever used AR glasses for work (like xreal one)? Would be interested if it's worth it as I probably have to get rid if my desk soon.
February 18, 2025 at 5:40 PM
wtf

Without any notification, vercel put all my side projects down because I reached some limit...

Upgraded to the pro plan for this month to quickly get them up again, but I'm definitely moving away from vercel and to my own server again. #buildinpublic
