    Yesterday I added support for headings and inline images to posts on Indie Hackers. I also recorded a quick chat podcast episode with @Mubs, and fixed a bunch of bugs with search. Haven't planned for today yet…

    1. 1

      Awesome!! Any instructions on usage yet?

      1. 3

        Inside posts…

        • To add h2, h3, h4, h5, or h6 headings, begin a new line with ##, ###, etc., followed by a space, followed by the text for your heading.
        • To insert inline images, use the Markdown formatting for images. It's the same as the formatting for links, but preceded by an exclamation mark.
        • To add title images to the top of your post, click the upload image button when creating a post.

        The result of all these changes is that you can make a post on Indie Hackers now that more-or-less acts as a blog post. Now I just need to work on the post creation UX: things like saving drafts, preview mode, a bigger UI, etc.

        Also, by request from @louisswiss, you can now add inline images to comments the same way you can in posts. Check it out:

          Awesome, thanks! 😍

    2. 1

      I need in on those inline images. Would open up so many more useful posts I could share on IH. Will they work for comments too?

      It'd be great to be able to include (annotated) screenshots when I'm giving feedback.

    1 YESTERDAY had an intense, full day, experimenting some new serverless features. Everything worked fine, better than I expected. I met a couple of problems but found quickly workarounds and I even helped another fellow dev with the same problems on stack overflow. I wrote a new application to test the features. I guess what I learned will allow me to develop faster and publish with lower costs. Serverless is probably one of the IH best friend 😜 Expect more indie projects from me (unless the paid job take over).

    2 TODAY relax, reading, going out. If I can, Sunday I take it easy to refresh my mind.

    1. No serious blockers, nothing that I couldn't find a work around. It happens all the time, it's part of my job.

    Well, @Janice it's already 9 PM here and Sunday is almost over :)
    Yesterday I was working on my new project MySocialHike.
    Today I finished the landing page https://mysocialhike.com and bought the domain.

    1. 5

      I like it. Why only $1/month? In the words of @patio11, charge more!

      1. 1

        I thought it's not a very big service so $1/month will be good to start with and reach to more people.

        1. 1

          I had the same thought as @csallen, $1 seems very low.

  5. 2

    YESTERDAY I ended up writing a small React library for a functionality I needed, and was very surprised nothing of the sort is on npm yet

    TODAY Going to opensource it!

    BLOCKER It's sunday and the couch is looking at me with judgemental eyes

    1. 2

      Hey good on you for releasing back into the community!

    2. 1

      Yes, the couch look so good right about now. lol

  6. 1

    Yesterday I started writing up new stories from a many-hours-long brainstorming session on Announcr. Also went swimming in the lake!

    Today I am finishing up those stories and reorganizing September's Epic to see what I can reasonably get done. In particular, I am super excited to try out a design simplification and get a pic of it on the web page for what I hope will be a tremendous improvement in communicating what Announcr does for businesses. So I might jump into that tonight.

    Blockers No blockers, unless I can't figure out how to turn my chicken scratch paper drawing into a web version :)
