Oddbean new post about login | logout Need some help from you, my Nostr friends 💜 While I am getting better at building open source websites, especially with AI becoming an ever better helping tool, there are still things I can’t grokk. If you build open source things and have some time to guide me on my way to building a free-for-all open source project, give me shout please! Zaps will be coming your way 🤙 https://i.nostr.build/YEIIqow8hRBHnzHt.jpg nostr:note1gq60k83gvf07j8j2z0tflcngc96kq9q8vjnddm9r7csqjfulyy2s5575z3
Let me know what you are trying to solve, always happy to help when time allows 🫡
For simple(ish) web sites today you might not even need ChatGPT. The tooling became so good. Plus, if you build it yourself you'll haave the sense of agency. I love OSS (if you can't tell from my profile :D). More than happy to help.
I’m trying to build a calendar-looking website to display events I add to a self hosted calendar (still on the fence between Radicale and Baikal). Something looking like https://bitcoin.holiday Cans you suggest where to start?
Those are the servers that sync your calendar and contacts. I don't think you need that for the userfacinfg website. Would an iframe embedded calendar be an option? Without requirements it's hard to tell what is the right solution.
One more (general) thing. Think of yourself as a product manager in OSS. Try to come up with a product doc that explains why, what, where, when and then leave how to developers. Think of what should be in scope vs out of scope of the project. What are must haves, and what are nice to haves, etc.
Would you be wiling to have a closer look at my idea if I put together a general description of the project? I’m struggling to find an OSS dev who has time to work on this. I sure am willing to pay for the job. Is there a way to contact you outside of Nostr?
SimpleX works. I am not sure about the time (aren't we all lacking it? :)), but I can most definitely take a look and help you narrow the project down to the essentials.
