Over the years working with Laravel apps, I have tried many admin panels and dashboard templates. The last one that I liked was Backpack. Unfortunately, it's quite expensive if you need some more advanced features, and I could no longe

> In fact, if you don't have a real address listed, I will not consider your service. Great point. Always leaves a bitter taste, like the business is trying to hide behind their website. In Germany there's a law that requires

This is indeed scary as hell. Tried it with a photo of the beach that could be any (sub)tropical beach in the world. Tt guesses Egypt and placed the marker about 100km away from the actual location.

Interesting that they changed back their business model. I used the service a few times but stopped when they started forcing users into a monthly/yearly subscription to write more than one letter per year or so.

No not yet, but the scripts in the docker directory have several steps involving both go and Node. Guess it's scripts for setting up the Docker stuff?

Hi, this looks really nice as an alternative to Sentry. May I ask why the Docker-based setup requires Go, Node and Yarn on the host machine? I find it unfortunate that I have to install such non-standard tools on a machine to be able to run

From what I learned about SU, it mainly died because at some time they got more and more spam websites, I would call this the early days of SEO spam. Users slowly vanished. SU increased the the amount of ads on the site, which led to even m

After all those years, I still love RSS. It's great what you can do with it. After struggling to keep up with releases for all the tools, frameworks and packages I use for programming, I built Versionfeeds.com which sends me all those

The subscription is entirely optional and not required to use Cloudhiker. It's directed towards power users. It helps the website to stay up and running. I would say this approach is more modern than shovelling tons of ads onto users l

Indeed, it's hard to discover small websites. While building https://Cloudhiker.net (like Stumbleupon but modern), I collected a few hundred of those websites and people love them! Also, clicking trough web rings (yeah they

I was wondering why there was so much "empty space" in between, then I noticed Brave blocked 23 requests, probably all tracking and ads. smh

Maybe https://Cloudhiker.net will bring back this experience.

There are some possible explanations: - Most horrible one is that they are either used to it and just accept the way it is without questioning it. - News can be consumed in other ways, TV is popular especially for older generations. My wife

To be fair, the claim that 90% of the people don't care about that is a bit exaggerated, but I think it points into the right direction. I'm absolutely with you. I would love that the web becomes what it once was. A place where pe

I thought that there must be a middle ground after reading that part, too. But we, the people who know, run and support that cozy web, are actually a minority compared to the mass of internet users. It's not a good comparison, but my f

Instead of hating the EU, how about directing your hate towards the bad players of the web? Cookie banners are not the fault of the EU, but the fault of companies disrespecting privacy rights and pushing data collection, ads and all possibl

I would say that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Of course, people behind projects matter a lot. You can have robust and beautifully crafted PHP projects, and also horribly running, bloated and hacky Rust or Java projects. But, Andr
