Re:Made a dynamic links service with features we needed on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @03:16PM (#49454331)
Hi,

I built a Firebase Dynamic Links replacement that doesn’t cost $499/month just to show social preview images (like some other alternatives).

I work at a development agency where most of our clients are MVP projects or small apps, and we found it hard to recommend any good dynamic links service (since Firebase ended support) that doesn’t cost more than all the other services combined (especially the more established products).

Of course, a lot of other “vibe-coded” competitors popped up this year (I admit I also didn’t spend much on design… and it sadly shows). But I strongly believe I have a great architecture behind it to deliver the best possible product.

I also launched it on Product Hunt, so if you want to be part of the community, you’re welcome. The product itself is https://linksense.net/.

I’d love to hear what you think about it, and how you find time and especially focus for your side projects in these AI times.

Re:Learning a New Stack on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @06:09AM (#30070523)
Great write up! I am also a mobile developer (mostly Android but lately Flutter) and I'm also in a position where I am learning full stack the hard way (for my business idea). I think a mentor or a network of people that knows their stuff is most valuable at the beginning since I find it easier to ask someone specific question rather that search the internet and go down the wrong rabbit hole. Best luck on your path!
