I've built a simple anonymous secret-sharing app using Better Call and Next.js. I have to attend work now, but I'll share the project tomorrow. This was just for testing Better Call, it's incredibly easy to write, offers amazing type safety, and includes a fully typed RPC client also 🔥

WebSockets are ideal, even when using a pub/sub model scaling web socket is a headache ( might be skill issue ). However, using HTTP polling can sometimes be a better alternative. In fact, many WebSocket use cases can be replaced by HTTP polling, which is quite interesting. Personally, I hate seeing my VPS server's CPU working at 100% 🤦‍♂️.

If you have a job, make sure to learn and code outside of work, just for fun. This will help you maintain your curiosity and keep your passion for coding alive.

I've been busy the whole time—exhausted, but I have to finish it today. No fancy UI, just using ShadCN. Picking up where I left off and going live right now.

I’ll probably wrap it up in 1-2 hours. My bro suggested adding upvote and downvote features since it's a secret-sharing site with anonymous posts (no login required). Voting is tricky—I’m considering tracking IP addresses and maybe storing a unique identifier on the user’s device to prevent double voting.

Yeah, let’s build it!

This is where I left off yesterday...

FYI : all the secrets you see on the image are AI generated 😁

@selfmadecoder

And one thing I forgot… You just need to write the secret, the title is generated by GEMINI. I told it to make the titles super controversial, so you might end up with a wild one for your secret too! 😁

I hate Apple, but it seems like it's hunting me... I need to buy a Mac ASAP.

I just received my first gift from one of my anonymous member. Since he/ she want to remain anonymous, I’ll give you a hint to figure it out yourself, it’s from one of the bloggers in the community whose latest post is close to my channel name. ( might even shred it ) 😁

Anyway, thanks for the gift! Hopefully, we’re on our way to making millions.

@selfmadecoder

Thinking of using MacinCloud for work ... anyone tried it before? Kinda worried the internet might make it annoying, but we’ll see.

Also, I gotta deploy this project. It’s pretty basic, but I wanted to try better call the project is a by product, so here we go. Don’t wanna add it to the list of my abandoned side projects, lol. Gonna deploy it now and drop the link later tonight.
