February 24, 2026 Why I’m building a Daily Stand-up killer with Rails 8 and SQLite in production

Hi IH! I’m Aleksander, a software engineer who spends his days with Node.js and Go. But for my solo project, NoDaily, I went back to Ruby on Rails.

THE PROBLEM: I was tired of "Tribal Storytelling." In my software house, we spent 15-30 minutes every day reciting what we did, only for that information to evaporate the moment the Zoom call ended.

THE SOLUTION: NoDaily. It’s an async-first status logger that turns daily updates into a PERSISTENT DATABASE.

  • The Chronicle: A structured history of your project.

  • AI Synthesis: It acts like a Senior PM, turning daily technical logs into a concise Weekly Report for stakeholders.

THE STACK (The controversial part): I’m building this on Rails 8 with the Solid Trifecta.

  • SQLite in production: Because for a solo founder, simplicity is the ultimate scale.

  • No React: Built entirely with Hotwire/Turbo. The speed of development is just unfair.

CURRENT STAGE: I’m currently dogfooding the pre-alpha to build the product itself. The response on LinkedIn has been great (even got a nod from some industry veterans!), so I’m opening a waitlist for the first wave of external teams.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

  1. SQLite in production – would you trust it for a B2B SaaS?

  2. How do you handle "meeting fatigue" in your teams?

February 20, 2026 Status updates evaporate. I’m building a way to make them stick.

I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: what’s said in a Monday standup is forgotten by Thursday. If you miss the call, you miss the context. Status is a fading memory, not a record.

I’m building NoDaily because status should be a persistent database, not a conversation.

The Stage: I'm currently building the core in Ruby on Rails. The app is pre-release, but the goal is simple:

  1. Persistent History: A searchable, permanent log of your project’s pulse.

  2. AI Reports: Generating weekly summaries from daily entries so you never have to write a status report again.

I’m currently dogfooding the pre-alpha version for my own project tracking. It works.

The landing page is live while I finish the AI integration. If you’re tired of the "15-minute" meeting tax, I’d love your feedback.
