I love when a project pushes past MVP and you can start to enhance functionality. Today's focus was on making the color picker for @photopalettes.com easier to use.

Makefiles are amazing. For far too long I've done my script management with package.json, pyproject.toml, or scattered bash scripts. Makefiles make managing and running scripts so so easy.

Thought today would be a “look at this cool thing!” update. Maybe tomorrow!
Shout out to @resend.com for taking five minutes to setup and integrate with @supabase.com for signup emails. I loved the one click "Add DNS records to @cloudflare.social".

Travis: Now to actually build something fun.
Narrator: Travis was overly optimistic. He learned that Supabase can only send 2 emails an hour to register users. He setup a Mailgun account but they require a Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and customer support email."
🥲 Tomorrow.

Started with the boring stuff on my new project: frontend/backend boilerplate, DB setup, Docker, deploy, auth, linting, testing, and a landing page. Got curious and did a line count. Now to actually build something fun. 😅

I manage a lot of #websites. Sometimes they go down. I setup a #Python #script to alert me of issues. If the script stops working I wouldn't know. To remedy this, I've set it up to send me a weekly motivational quote, generated by #ChatGPT, in the style of #Shrek.

I used to, without realizing it, front-load fun tasks and back-load the hard ones. This made finishing projects awful. With #photopalettes, I'm flipping that. Friday was setting up the prod deploy, today was auth, tomorrow is databases. Highly recommend.

I used #cursor to write boilerplate today. I'm fluent in #python, but some AI suggestions were baffling. I'm starting to realize how deceptive #AI can be. Without experience to question what it proposes, you're set up for nasty #bugs down the line.

What should I be mindful of as I start converting colors between different color formats like RGB, Hex, HSL, etc.?
