Apart from the other observations in this thread I wonder if part of the issue is the work culture here. If you call in sick there is often an expectation or requirement that you will go to the GP to get a medical certificate to "prove" you're sick, and having a "cold" isn't typically an acceptable reason for not showing up for work.

I haven't had to worry about this in years but while working in retail I periodically found myself at a GP and being prescribed antibiotics when I would have otherwise stayed home to rest, if I didn't need that medical certificate.

That’s still on the GP and the general public health policy of Australia. If I go to my GP with a cold here in the Netherlands, there is a snowball’s chance in hell that I get prescribed antibiotics.

I wasn't disagreeing, just adding some more context to this thread.

This would have been extremely useful for past me, and I'm sure it will be in the future. Thanks for sharing.

This is great, well done. I'd love to be able to disable the hints (maybe I missed the setting)

Ok good idea !

I really like the UX on the homepage of emailing a download link to myself.

Thanks! Yes, I found that a huge percentage of visitors to the site were on mobile (especially for HN/reddit/etc traffic) and when your product is a desktop app there's not much you can do with that, so for a long time I effectively didn't have a call to action for most visitors at all, which isn't great for anybody.

Under the hood it's just a tiny automated email flow set up via Mailchimp that sends out the download link when you sign up. Nothing fancy, but it's easy and it does the job.

I've recently been considering building a Shopify app(product renting) but I can't figure out if there is a demand. A similar app has <10 reviews. Do you have any advice?

Reddit has a good Shopify community - ask them if they’re familiar with the concept.

You can also do a 7 day trial of SEMRush and do some competitive research on the app’s domain.

See if they’re ranking for any keywords/how much search traffic the keywords have.

I watched your Rust for the Impatient video only 2 days ago. Thank you, it was very helpful.

I'm so pleased! That video is based on an article from fasterthanli.me - Amos writes SUCH high-quality articles, I asked his permission to base that video on his "A Half-Hour To Learn Rust" post. Certainly worth clicking around his site, an incredible resource!

I also love your channel, great work!

To add my experience. I looked at rolling out Coinbase commerce a couple of years ago and then again a couple of months ago. I found their current integrations lacked support or were seemingly abandoned.

Contacting general or merchant support often took over 2 weeks to get a response, which was a deal-breaker for any service that would inevitably impact customers on our end.

I'm not even really talking about technical limitations. More that 90% of consumers don't own any crypto. And (more controversially) it has completely morphed into an investment asset class. One that is possibly in a deflationary spiral where no one wants to spend any of it. IMHO it has really failed in it's mission of actually being a currency.

I ran into this problem yesterday trying to find a frontend dev to implement a magento 2 design. I tried the usual places and even tried to hunt someone on dribbble but none of them brought up anyone with those two filters.

Is there something similar for creating an overview of an entire web application to plan and communicate feature set, server stack, application structure, scheduled jobs, etc?

In my case I've built all business functions with the theory of leaving the most enjoyable work for last to keep me motivated. We'll see if it pays off.
