What is your experience with #localfirst? πŸ’»πŸ“± I am build a local first package for JavaScript. The first feature is handling logins with end to end encryption. Do you think this is the future of the web 🌍 and computing πŸ’» in general?

Other providers like tripadvisor have cheaper APIs but not much information. Maybe using travel books can be a solution? But how to license these? There were so many unsolved questions. IMHO this is not a job for a solo entrepreneur. So I put the project on ice 🧊.

🏁 This was the story of my failed projects. What experiences have you made? How do you filter good projects ideas and stay consistent? 🧐 @marclou.bsky.social was really inspiring with his videos on YouTube. So I started trying #buildinpublic to stay consistent :).

4️⃣ AI travel agency 🧳✈️ - https://planyour.holiday (not working 😞), πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» @svelte.dev with SvelteKit and PostgreSQL with drizzle (kudos to @drizzle.team) and lucia auth (which is also really amazing) was used. OpenAI or GoogleGemini where choosed for the AI. The google maps API for travel info.

❌ There I was really motivated but I stumbeled over a lot of AI "feeding" problems. How to provide good travel decisions that are accurate and not outdated? The AI itself is always outdated so we need a database. Google maps has a lot of travel info, but is really expensive. ⏩

3️⃣ Online KiCad viewer and editor. (KiCad is an open source tool to create printed circuit board schematics.) πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» First time I used @svelte.dev with SvelteKit and was amazed. PocketBase acted as our backend, for storing data, user auth and images.

❌ Implementing 2d graphics with plain javascript in a canvas was not easy. After I couldn't get it working like I imagined it, I lost interest in the project. πŸ“‰

2️⃣ EU πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί drone pilot license online education platform. πŸ§‘β€πŸ« πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»Here I used angular for the frontend and firebase with a firestore for the backend.

❌ Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ implemented the EU law differently than expected by us. It became really strict and difficult to setup. Furthermore the other EU countries could also make that platform under their local law with cheaper implementations. So we stopped this and decided to shutdown the company.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» The code and front end was written in Visual Basic as a windows application. The database was a Microsoft SQL one. There I used an ORM for the first time and last time. ❌ I lost interest and the code was really complex and bad to maintain, so I stopped working on it after several months. πŸ“‰
