I built Garage as a side-project and have finally realised it into production. I’m just a dude working full-time, renting in Caulfield and out of pocket for it. But I’d rather pay to host Garage than have Zuck sell me. Your support means a lot!
Mods: I realise rule 5 says no ads. If this breaks it, I’ll remove. I’m not really selling anything, just trying to give people a second option to Facebook.
it’d be disingenuous if i didn’t admit help from an LLM. i have a compsci degree but i’m not a full-stack developer. i built the website bones and functionality but polish and writing prose isn’t my forte.
I think it’d be disingenuous if you didn’t immediately, loudly disclose it to people you’re expecting to trust you to interact with their financial information – you know, just personally.
i’m not expecting anyone to trust me with their financial information. there is no functionality on the website that allows money exchange. i was looking at probably introducing PayPal in the future for sellers that just want to deliver their items but no money passes through the website, only PayPal.
Then I retract that specific point. I still think any site that expects you to maintain a user account should prominently advertise vibe-coding (or whatever non-dysphemism you could use to make it sound softer).
i think that’s a fair point. i’ll add something to the about page tomorrow.
using non-dysphemism casually is bordering on insane
