Finding myself using this app less and less and it’s a real shame

Hype is a powerful thing, hoping we see a return in those who were active initially

When do we draw the line and say it’s not early anymore?

To clarify, this isn’t engagement bait. Just an observation

Nope just an observation. I wish it wasn’t true

There’s so much more going on over on X and there’s more engagement

There I said it

Going to do something bold next week for Vizalo

Added a little list of example technologies you can deploy with Vizalo Managed Apps

#buildinpublic

Nice! Glad you managed to get it shipped! 💪🏻

Learning how to deploy something to a VM with a container is a great way to get started with self hosting in 2025

- Run with Docker
- Reverse proxy with Caddy for automatic SSL

Once you’ve got that down move onto something that does this for you like Coolify

Vizalo - Powerful and affordable web hosting Servers are expensive, but not with Vizalo. Powerful and affordable x86 and Arm64 servers.

Starting to see an uptick in usage for our free tools

Response time checker seems to be popular at the moment

PDFaaS - Free HTML to PDF API PDFaaS is a free HTML to PDF API that allows you to generate PDFs from HTML for free.

I have a free tool that may help you

pdfaas.vizalo.co

First week back for a lot of people

What are you shipping? #buildinpublic

Going to ship a Docker registry very soon for @vizalo.co

I never listen to music whilst coding

Ngl my customers kinda care about programming languages, not the ones I use though

Friendly Sunday reminder that every tier of Vizalo Managed Apps include 1TB of bandwidth for free

With Render this would cost $270 per month
With DigitalOcean you’d have to pay for their most expensive tier ($392p/m) to get 900GB

How to ship in 2025

- Only buy 1 domain
- Build with your most comfortable stack
- Get a small VPS and go from local to prod with one of the many free or cheap tools out there

Happy Shipper Saturday

If you’re using one of @vizalo.co’s competitors (starts and ends with the letter R) this would cost you $295 per month 👀🤯

Anyone using an open source tool for changelogs?

Is that a good or bad thing?

Completed 30 Jira tickets in the last sprint and worked less hours than usual on Vizalo

Maybe we need Christmas ever sprint

You’re underestimating how many people build by the notion “build it and they’ll come”

Trimmed the Vizalo backlog from 176 items to 95

AMA

One thing I learned from 2024 is that marketing is a powerful tool that most of us who build think we don’t need

Completely agree, infrequent tasks are a good example

We continue to educate in 2025 💪🏻

But what about sky high serverless bills? We still hate them right?

If you only do one thing in 2025 make sure it’s marketing

So here it is, Vizalo Year in Review for 2024

Lot's of numbers in there and even some details about what is on the horizon for 2025
