I'm definitely not following the content goals for now. My top priorities are working on my skills

I work so much at home that I feel anxious when working outside. It came to a point where one of my goals is to sit more outside and be less socially awkward. Relax more in public, get rid of the spotlight effect, etc

One of the contributors to me working less outside is the fact the we moved further away from the city's center, where all of the cafes, coworkings are. I liked the vibe at the center more, the people, the atmosphere…here it's a bit different. It's just me with a laptop. Heck, even the coffee here is different.

Same goes with a gym, when there are a lot of people pumping, doing stuff – you get effected by that and also do stuff, take a part of their confidence and energy.

I was focused on a Docker course. Doing good progress. But I wanted to get back to working on @JonliChatBot, as the month is coming to an end.

In my dev environment I've already added profile pics and now I'm working on adding regions (top 118 countries using Telegram).

I also wanted to take a peek at what the giants are doing and what's working for them, so that I know where to shift my focus and time.

I've tried ome.tv on my phone and I have to be honest – it's one of the worst UX I've ever seen.

Nevertheless, according to public data, in December 2024 alone ome.tv's revenue was about $400 000. They use a freemium model with a ~$8 monthly subscription.

They don't have as much features as their competitors like Azar, Tinder, etc. Yes, I consider Tinder to be their indirectish competitor too.

Azar's annual revenue though (spoiler alert, also according to public data), is about $47.6 million. Yeah…

Sure, huge difference, but also goes to show that even with a shitty UX, ome.tv pulls-off a ~$4 million a year revenue.

Anyway, main features of ome.tv (based on a quck glance at their app) were connections, direct messages, filtering by gender and country, and Tinder like features.

Either they're not making $400 000 a month or they're not interested in improving their UX (for whatever reason).

Just pushed a minor update to @JonliChatBot. Let me know if you'll have issues and please send screenshots. Until then, I'll work on region and gender filtering.

I'm also considering two things:

1. Substitute the "Next chat" button with a simple swipe gesture
2. Remove the hide camera and mute microphone button (or move them somewhere else into settings)

How my setup looks right now

Integrated Sentry yesterday to monitor frontend errors

How I feel after posting to @ramzcoderuz and disappearing for another 10 days

I wanted to make a small telegram mini app idea quickly. Here's the stack I chose:

🗻 Biome – for linting, formatting
🥯 Bun – for package management
🌌 NPM workspaces – for multiple packages in a monorepo
🔥 Hono – for the backend API
⚛️ React 19 – for the frontend
🌐 Redux – for React state management and overall architecture
🚦 React Router – for frontend routing
⚡ Vite – frontend tooling
🌊 Tailwind – frontend styling
☁️ Cloudflare – for DB and API
🌧️ Drizzle – as an ORM for Cloudflare's D1 DB

Also, I'll make this open source as soon as I complete it
