  1. 8
    1. To cross 200+ signups for August
    2. Revamped https://bytehub.dev and pushed to production
    3. Creating tailwind css based components due to popular demand
    1. 4

      Are those tailwind css based components available for people to use?

      1. 2

        yes, they should be up next week. Around 10-20 components will be posted by end of month.

    2. 2

      This is so cool! It's so well made and the design is great.

      1. 1

        Thanks @jakes
        Please let me know if you've any feedback

        1. 2

          I really think it's awesome. The only thing I don't love is when I'm on https://www.bytehub.dev/components and I hover over a "component square" and the hashtags are revealed.

          Those hashtags revealing move down the next row as well, which for me, is just too much movement. The page is already so beautiful I don't think you need the extra effect. Also I think those hashtags are useful so it could be good to have them always revealed.

          This is all personal taste, though, and I'm the first to admit its super nitpicky :)

          Again, great work!

    3. 2

      Bytehub looks amazing!

      1. 1

        Thanks @krstCe
        Any feedback you've for me?

    4. 2

      Noticed "animated" you forgot an "i" on this page under the "Demo" tab.

      https://www.bytehub.dev/components/animated-file-upload

      1. 1

        nope. I forgot the 'a' :P
        its showing as "Animted"

  2. 4
    1. Launch Pingr on PH & HN
    2. I made some changes on my landing pages
    3. I'm working on test environment, want to measure how many uptime checks I'm capable of performing per minute. This is needed in order to calculate life time deal price which I want to make before launching
    1. 2

      Happy to see you on IH as well!
      Landing page looks awesome 🔥 Good luck to you! 🙂

  3. 3

    Goal for August is to get my product (Dawn) into beta testing.

    1. Yesterday I finalized styling for one of the major views
    2. Today I am working on the next big major view's styling
    1. 1

      your product sounds really interesting! would like to get a better gist of it

      1. 2

        Thanks a lot @JesseJesse! In summary, the aim is to make everyone work better hours, rather than more hours. We also try to build Dawn in a way that people get to work on the right tasks and the right amount of them. Too much work leads to burnouts and being overwhelmed which in turns leads to a less focused brain. Hopefully with Dawn, we also try build something that helps everybody on a team know what lies ahead whilst tackling what is most important now. Mental health is too often overlooked and we want to bring that where it matters most: when you actually plan what needs done.

        We'll start to get people in beta soon enough, let me know if you wanna know more or want to be a part of it :)

        Appreciate the kind words!

        1. 1

          " Mental health is too often overlooked " → can confirm 100% from having worked nearly 8 years in an agency. This is definitely an issue that is getting attention in agencies nowadays. I don't have a team at the moment 😅 I'll have you on my radar and get back if/when I'm so far ;)

          1. 1

            Yes, Jesse, I totally hear you on that agency experience. Long hours to launch projects that will only last so long online etc... Hopefully, we can help tackle some of those issues with how we're building Dawn. Let's definitely keep in touch, might get you on the beta testing if you're keen!

  4. 2

        Actually I did have a look at it just before my post. I am always looking at different design examples for example recently I was looking for Dashboard examples. https://www.bytehub.dev/components is very slow to load and I left the site after a minute. The first few designs I saw are interesting. Keep up the work, will visit again sometime

        1. 1

          Will be lazy loading and testing the page load. Thanks for your feedback.

          1. 1
