Yep love the ease of Heroku, just not a big fan of the $7/mo per container model since I have a lot of apps to host. Dokku looks like a great option for getting the Heroku experience on cheaper compute though, will check it out!

Oh interesting, I didn't know cloudflare offered serverless environments. I'll have to look into them, sounds like the free tier is generous with 100k requests per day

Oh adding a CI pipeline into the server is smart, that probably makes deployments a breeze. I mainly deploy manually with scp, would be awesome to automate that with a CI/CD flow haha Same here on containers, in theory they seem great

These look like great options, I'll check them out. Dokku looks like it could be a good balance between offering a managed server experience while letting me deploy multiple apps to a single instance

Love the suggestions and imagination with what’s possible, I think a lot of that is achievable using the existing technologies. I can see the future of AR, instead of buying a TV and a separate Netflix/content subscription, the content

Yup agreed, I’m guilty of spending arguably wayy too much time brainstorming the “perfect” name for projects in the past and figured that time is better spent in development making the product better, worst case scenario I could probably re

It could potentially be "feature flagged". The client could ship a new version with all the resources/code they need for a specific feature, but a setting on the back-end determines if the feature is enabled or not. That way,

Love those suggestions, thank you for your comment! Definitely agree on adding better support for the non-LiDAR devices, I've noticed it's really hit or miss when placing and should be easier to correct

Yup that's a great question, I think generally speaking that is a really difficult problem in the AR space, which I think is part of the reason why most AR models still look fake or have the uncanny valley. Using the ARKit libraries, i

Yeah I agree "Canvify" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue nicely. I probably could've spent more time brainstorming a better name, but mainly I wanted something unique and somewhat related to artwork/canvases. For

Thank you, happy it worked for you :) yup that's a great call, adding support for different units is in the works!

Yup the superimposition is currently setup to ignore light in the room. I experimented with having it respond to light in the room, but ran into issues with the image rendering way too dark. I'll spend some more time fine tuning it and

Unfortunately the app won't even compile on the simulator, it seems like some of the AR libraries aren't actually available when building for the simulator. I have to test on real device each time for the time being. That would be

Hmm interesting, does the "move phone around" message ever go away? I'm working on tuning it still, but you might have to walk around and pan the camera around the area a bit more (looking into optimizing this more in coming

Agreed I think that would be a great addition to be able to select and customize different frames, I could see how it'd be valuable to see it framed next to other framed artwork already on the wall. It was a feature I decided to leave

Hey there- that's a good point. My decision for the iOS 15 requirement was because some new API's were introduced that made development a bit easier, but I think I can add support to iOS 14 with a bit of TLC. I'll look into t

Hey all, wanted to share a new ARKit app I recently published. You can choose a photo from your gallery, specify its dimensions, and see how it'd look directly on your wall! Inspiration for this project came when I was looking to buy a
