One can but try, but it feels like that's getting harder and harder to do these days...

https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Who'd have thought that a CMS could still make money in 2024, but this one is around £500 a month. It obviously doesn't pay the bills or the mortgage, but it works. All my clients are word of m

I run https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Just about at $500 per month in recurring hosting fees. It's a CMS which publishes static sites to Cloudflare workers sites. I've not done any marketing, it's all word of mouth and t

We have one of these locally, but it's called a community shed, to not exclude women arbitrarily. At the same time, I still think it's mostly used by men, as it's quite focused around woodworking etc. They were one of the fir

I've recently been building a business directory using Bubble.io. It took me about half a day to do tutorials and another half day playing around just to learn the platform. After that, I was able to build this business directory, inc

I'm on the original, round dish, not the rectangular new one. I wonder whether this can be done on the round dish, as that one used even more power.

Do you happen to know anyone who managed to figure out what the electrical requirements for the cable are? We tried mounting the antenna outside and connecting the cable via an external box to the inside (using cat 6 cable), but Starlink im

I love getting in after 1,000 comments, let's do this: https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Built with my own site-builder and advertising my own site-builder! Turns out nobody registers for a free account or just signs up. All my busi

At pinkpigeon.co.uk we created a website builder that literally just pushes Hugo-generated sites to Cloudflare. It has been working perfectly for about a year by now. We don't use CF pages, admittedly. It's workers sites, due to t

Pages doesn't allow for direct deployments. Has to go via git repo + webhooks. We make static sites with our CMS and don't really want to integrate another thing into our workflow. Lots of CF and git API calls to automate the whol

Wix are true experts at terrible UX ;) DeviantArt was the first place where I shared photography, a very, very long time ago. My account still works, funnily enough. It was a great place that reminds me of the MySpace / wild west days

Never managed to get this to work on a laptop with an Intel 520 gpu and latest Linux Mint. Deskreen isn't the problem. It's trying to create a virtual display. You'll see my comments with my findings on on every github /

I concur, many of my clients are 'rescues' from Wix and Wordpress and the only thing more hated than Wordpress is Wix. More often than not it comes down to the horrifyingly confusing documentation, inconsistent UX, hilarious over-

My solution to this is https://pinkpigeon.co.uk I built it specifically to address shortfalls of other site builders: - No themes - Uses 'modules' rather than the strangely popular drag and drop thing with blocks and w

Tried signing up, but (presumably) your configuration is pointing the signup link in the email at your local Dev environment... I tried replacing localhost with wax.run, but it didn't do anything. Lastly, considering you are all about

Not your keys, not your crypto. It is best practice to keep the smallest amount of crypto possible on an exchange. Every exchange has the biggest target imaginable painted on their back, for all hackers worldwide. I'd keep my crypto th

Do you mean easiest CMS to install and get up and running on a VPS or do you mean easiest CMS to use / fastest way to get a website up and running? If the latter, try https://pinkpigeon.co.uk (disclaimer, that's my pro

Yeah POST requests with any sort of advanced functionality will always require some kind of server. I built a thing that makes static sites, including form handling. BUT, the form handling, inevitably, requires a POST request back to a form

So far as I can tell, Wordpress requires PHP and a DB still, you're just storing a static snapshot of the WP site on Cloudflare pages here. I think.

For our website builder ( https://pinkpigeon.co.uk ) we once chose an ORM (GORM for Go specifically). In case you don't know what this does, it's an abstraction layer for working with databases like MySQL, PostgresQL, et

Small nitpick, I just read half the page with a 50% opacity overlay on it, as the cookie pop-up shows up in the middle of the page, not the middle of my current screen, which can be caused by setting an absolute width against a relative par

I get a lot of mileage out of BrowserStack. When it comes to QA, I probably spend more time in there than in my actual local browsers. I like it a lot. With that said, I'm on Linux, so here's what I would _pay_ to see in the futur

The funny thing is that bubble.io (as one example) does this already. And it does it really well. And now I look on freelancer.com and there's still people wanting to hire "bubble developers". I have been talking to my tech i

Interesting article. Having been a Heroku user who then switched to my own Dokku-VPS, I have a few thoughts: - Back then you HAD to use postgres. Didn't bother me, but might bother others. - Things get expensive quick. I recently beefe
