Need to increase the number of people I'm following here - can I have some recommendations for indie software developers who regularly share things they're working on? Esp anyone working with Laravel, SQLite or local-first
@johnonolan hashtags can help here: #laravel #sqlite #localfirst
@teleclimber Followed for giving good advice
@johnonolan cool. I do use sqlite in my project https://dropserver.org, both for the host DB, and some apps use it via WASM in deno.
Dropserver Personal Application Server

@johnonolan @teleclimber
If it's Fediverse advice you're after I have a bunch of posts pinned to my profile about lesser-known features.

There are a few iterations to keep an eye on:

#LocalFirstSoftware #LoFiSoftware #LocalFirst

Also, anyone connected to @localfirstconf

@johnonolan I share what I’m working on sometimes. Not Laravel but sometimes #GhostBlog.
@johnonolan I'm working on a peer-to-peer network for the web. I just integrated a Sqlite DB into a server component. Never used Sqlite before. It's a bit weird compared to the other SQLs, but it's kind of nice.
@cuchaz which weirdness have you bumped into so far? :)

@johnonolan I wrote a little about Sqlite weirdness here: https://gladtech.social/@cuchaz/112605680913971102

Basically, I was surprised a relational database was dynamically typed.

I'm finally getting around to learning Sqlite and the type system is ... weird. In a good way. They're all like: Types are dumb YOLO but we'll still let you write VARCHAR on a column if that makes you feel better. :blobcat_pats:

@johnonolan Oh my God you work at Ghost!! I love what you're doing!
@oceane haha, thank you πŸ€—
@johnonolan πŸ‘‹πŸΌ I'm here too as a fallback for the Twitter-pocalypse, whenever it finally happens
@simonhamp wohoo 🀘 followed :)
@simonhamp also Laradir is sick

@johnonolan thanks man! If you use it I'd love your feedback

Constantly trying to make it better

@simonhamp I plan to for sure :)
@johnonolan let me know when you do, I'll hook you up with some free credits ✌🏼
@johnonolan think @karptonite is a laravel guy sometimes!
@shelleynorman @johnonolan not really anymore on the Laravel. I sometimes post tech stuff, but not usually.
@johnonolan Nice to meet some people here! I'm sharing my work and I may have to dig local first too for a side project soon.
@johnonolan I like to share what I'm working on, much of it centered around the fediverse. Not sure if I'm really worth a follow, but you might be interested in checking out @FediverseExplorations.
@johnonolan πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ raising my hand if you like posts about SwiftUI and a goofy weather app.
