The arrival of digital nomads will not fundamentally drive up a country’s or a city’s housing prices, as they usually only rent. Renting has no direct impact on the development of local housing prices. On the contrary, the influx of digital nomads can actually increase the income of most low-cost countries, since they will inevitably spend money locally.
I initially used natural language as prompts, but the code output wasn’t ideal. When I listed the steps it should follow, I found that it executed them very well.
I believe digital nomadism is the trend of the future, and AI is making solo businesses increasingly complete and efficient.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
Do you mean removing the numbers on the bars? If so, would you still need the numbers on the x or y axis?
Thank you so much for your feedback! I will add more colors, and I'm also considering allowing custom colors for individual data points in the future. I’ll look into the WP plugin as well.
Regarding large datasets, would a format like this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL3IOxmyCk6/? I can use horizontal bar charts to show rankings, and also generate them as dynamic GIFs.
Would you need the image in other formats as well, such as JPG or something else?
Thanks again for using it. Once the updates are complete, would you be willing to try it again and share more suggestions? Thank you!

I built ChartFromText.com to solve a simple but recurring annoyance of mine. I often need a quick chart for a README file, a Slack message, or a simple presentation, and firing up Google Sheets or Excel always felt like overkill.
The goal was to create the absolute fastest path from raw data to a usable chart. You just paste text like Apples: 50, Bananas: 80, and the chart appears...
pSEO is currently an important way to quickly gain organic traffic, but it's also a double-edged sword. Without careful research, it can easily lower your site's trust in Google's eyes. The most crucial step is figuring out how to produce valuable content at scale and whether your product is suitable for pSEO in the first place largely determines your success.
AI will endlessly crawl my website, quickly exhausting the egress quota of my Supabase free plan,but Cloudflare can stop all of this.
Seeing this question made me think of an interesting one: all the answers are based on the assumption that there are users. But what if there are no users at all — how should tasks be prioritized? Should you continue developing new features or improving existing ones to attract users, or should you start a new project instead?
It's interesting. Can I add it to my website to showcase it?
Would it be possible to make the task list publicly viewable, so that users can verify the tasks are real before signing up?
I think you should explain how it’s different from ShipFast, since ShipFast is already very well-known. Also, which UI library are you using? You might want to open up your documentation first so that users can understand how to use it and evaluate how easy it is to extend.
For a solo indie developer or a small team, the journey from a brilliant game idea to a playable reality is filled with challenges. One of the biggest hurdles? Finding high-quality, affordable, and properly licensed 2D art. A great art style can make your game stand out, while placeholder graphics can stall a project indefinitely.
Fortunately, the internet is brimming with incredible resources. But sifting through them can be a full-time job. That's why we've curated this list of the top 5 best sites for 2D game assets. Whether you need assets for prototyping, a game jam, or your commercial release, your search ends here.
I think you should offer a free service first so that users can try it out.With the current trial scenario, I’m not able to provide any suggestions.
For so many of us, it’s the ultimate dream: to create a sprawling 2D RPG. A world born from our imagination, filled with memorable characters, hidden secrets, and a story that players will carry with them long after they’ve put the controller down. It’s a dream inspired by the classics we grew up with and the modern indie masterpieces we love.
But that dream often crashes into a wall of reality. Where do you even start? The path from a blank screen to a living, breathing world can feel overwhelmingly complex.
It doesn't have to be.
With the power of the Unity engine and a curated set of a resources, that dream is closer than you think. This isn't just a list of links; it's a practical roadmap. Let's build your game, one step at a time.

As an independent developer, I’ve always found it challenging to track down quality game development resources. To solve this problem for myself (and hopefully help others too), I built a website dedicated to collecting useful resources for game development—ranging from asset sites and tools to tutorials and sources of inspiration. Everything listed is something I’ve personally used. While the...
I checked the Vercel logs and found that many crawlers are scraping my pages, which leads to frequent database queries. Since Neon doesn't have caching, the data transfer is being consumed very quickly, and I'm currently using Prisma. Now I'm planning to migrate to Supabase and use supabase-js.

I'm using Vercel to deploy my application, and Neon as the database. However, ever since I switched my SaaS to use SSR, the database data transfer has been consumed very quickly—around 2GB per day. Are there any good optimization methods? Or are there other databases I could use?
Yes, I think so too! I'm not sure why, but even though technology has advanced so much compared to before, there still isn't an online game that can surpass it.
Currently, we can't rely entirely on AI for coding. If you do, you'll face chaos when major changes are needed，this is the technical debt AI introduces. So just use it to learn new techniques, and don't feel guilty about that.
Yes, I previously used Cursor to build my SaaS, but now I need to refactor because the codebase has become unmodifiable. With AI coding tools, you must describe your problem extremely precisely—otherwise, things quickly turn into a mess.
I think it's fine if you only need a standalone API or know exactly which APIs to call. But when users ask questions or you're unsure which APIs to use, MCP can solve this issue—and it can process requests based on your previous messages.
