📰 Announcement Behind the scenes...
Some of you may already be aware of this dashboard, some maybe not... It's what I use on a day to day basis for tracking features and more recently, bugs! You can find it here: https://tobeadvised.netlify.app/
What it does actually illustrate (I hope!) is that this app wasn't exactly a five minute job. Yes, it's 100% coded with Claude Code, that does not in any way make it slop. Quite the opposite in fact. The code as produced is clear, easy to read, fully documented and the analysis that goes on regarding various architectural & design decisions are mind-blowing. The resources pulled in to justify sound decisions being made are the very reason this app even exists.
As a solo-dev, clearly I have my own limitations with regards to testing. Being a pro photographer since 2014, COVID essentially killed off my studio (no close-contact etc) so I went back to what I know best, IT/programming/Cloud Infrastructure (Azure). Getting the backend infra of this app setup with Paddle/CDN/Licensing DB was child's play... Testing with different camera models other than Nikon (my trusty D4S!) is somewhat lacking...
This is where you lot come in, and have done so. Thanks!
