Maker Journal April 2025

April holds a special meaning for me. After diligently working on my freelance projects since the beginning of 2025, I chose to take a break to avoid burnout. It's one of the best decisions I've made this year, as it prevented a complete breakdown from the

Maker Journal March 2025

I'm still working hard on my freelance work, racing towards the unknown deadline. I repeated the same line last month, and the project hasn't launched. The original launch date was the end of February, and now it's already April. I don't really

Product Weekend Mar 2025

My product weekend for March is relatively straightforward. Since I'm still engaged in my freelance project, I aim to build and release an open-source plugin for FilamentPHP.  Initially, I considered converting my earlier CMS concept, Flow, into a plugin.  However, a new idea emerged: I want to create

Product Weekend Feb 2025

I have just launched the 2025 edition of the Product Weekend, a series I began in 2023. Each month, I dedicate a weekend to focus on my products, whether it involves enhancing existing features, developing new ideas, or researching and creating prototypes. The series typically runs from February through November,

I'm still working hard on my freelance work, racing towards the March deadline, so I haven't had much time for product-related tasks.  Here's what happened in February 2025:  * I kicked off Product Weekend 2025 again. I greatly benefit from a self-organized campaign like this,

Maker Journal January 2025

Hello from the new blog engine - Flow! January has started slowly for me, especially after the holiday trips and the kids' school holidays. I had a short break in December, but it wasn't my usual long one since I was busy with a big freelance project.

I'm Knight ver 3

The new blog is finally ready! I’ve successfully migrated it from Hashnode to Flow. What is Flow, you might ask? Flow is the content engine I developed using FilamentPHP. Although it’s still a basic alpha version, my goal is to release it as a package once it'

This is my final post on Hashnode before I migrate to a new platform, this post will focus on my 2024 product experiences. I have made considerable progress in 2024, yet the results haven't met my expectations. In 2025, I aim to focus on fewer projects but hopely

Maker Journal December 2024

December is truly a festive month for me. I travelled overseas in early December, and upon my return, I was busy with the kids' year-end activities. Just when I could finally breathe, Christmas and New Year were approaching. Despite the short working period in December, I accomplished several projects.

Product Weekend #10 2024

My product for Weekend #10 is to build a payment verification tool for my upcoming product release. Since I am planning to release a paid product, I need a system that verifies users are paid customers by their email addresses. Therefore, I'm developing a product that checks whether

Maker Journal November 2024

November was a bit short for me as I’m flying out for a family trip at the end of the month. This trip was planned at the last minute, and it coincided with my Black Friday product launch. Although I finished the product, it didn’t yield the results

I am excited to announce the official release of my Chrome extension, Trello Link Card. This extension allows users to save the URL from their active tab to their Trello board as a Link card. Instead of displaying the card with text, it renders nicely as a clickable link. The

Maker Journal October 2024

I think October has been relatively good for me. Although I didn't have a great start at the beginning of the month, I reviewed my situation and found a solution by rejoining the 5 AM club, which helped me progress! For GPTAPI Pro, I completed all the tasks

I built an API product during my product weekend #8, and I've finally cleaned everything up and prepared it for the beta launch. So, what does GPT API Pro do? GPT API Pro aims to simplify access to ChatGPT API features. You can think of it as a

Product Weekend #8 2024

This is another delayed post for my Product Weekend #8 in September. The idea for Product Weekend #8 emerged after I built SimplifyAI and some prototype AI widgets. The foundation of these prototypes is AI and APIs. I thought, what if I create an API that interacts with AI and
