Comment on Lessons Learnt Failing to Monetize My Ruby Gem

I also recommend the "app standup" as well - my side projects usually have a Telegram bot that sends me a daily message of performance, users, any cash generated etc... really does help keep the momentum going.

Is that a thing? Like a site/portal/dashboard you log into, shows a bunch of your apps/random servers and their statuses... I was thinking about this myself. Ideally would be real time or at least some kind of pub-sub/poll.

I've seen a few portals (Like Heroku Dataclips / Metabase) which offer this.

That said, I shoehorned it into my daily routine otherwise I'd just end up not checking it for a few weeks at a time.

These are just database query "aggregates"? I'm looking for random stuff like I have an anemometer I made that collects data... I still have to get into websockets(I've made some) but concerned about home network security.

Every time I see a new server management dashboard I think it'd be a cool concept to apply for a side/home project monitoring tool.

A bit like Backstage, but for personal projects.

I'm guessing that's the CMS? Was trying to find it Anyway yeah something about real-time stats/data in general kind of "addicting".

Long as it's not as ridiculous as using an old phone just for a dashboard ha, I saw that "trend" recently
