I plan to stay engaged with stacker news on a daily basis and keep myself busy reading books about self-improvement and take some online classes as well.

Impressive! Are you planning to make it available to the masses? I mean, would it be served through an interface to enable people to upload and create loops with any videos?

Celebrated my b'day over the weekend and did a quick rap sesh for the homies. Got in another practice session yesterday. Also introduced my new book to them (will post about it here as well in the upcoming days) and they seemed to like it (one of them bought / pre-ordered one as well, so I've already sold 2 without even properly announcing it anywhere - that's kinda cool).
Received a bunch of merch I designed and ordered since I'm pivoting from Spri.ng (formerly Springtee) to another POD provider (Printful). Now what I have to do is rebuild my webstore and integrate the book and merch offerings there - I've been putting it off though - I still have PTSD from all the headaches I had to encounter while building the Satoshee website.
Then there's a bunch to do regarding the book. I didn't create it for the money, I made it for myself (similarly to how I started designing my merch), but now that it's ready, I feel I should try to promote it, get it in front of some eyeballs, get some feedback and perhaps even earn a few sats. Promoting/introducing the book is one thing, a Kindle and an audiobook version another, an Estonian translation another...
Wow, man. I came across this topic thinking "I don't really have much going on right now, IDK if I should post here at all" - as it turns out... I do have a bunch of stuff going on 🤠 No wonder I'm feeling a little bit fatigued. Anyway, onward and upward; I've also committed to attending Baltic Honeybadger in Riga this weekend and BTCHEL in Helsinki the next, so now is not really the time to slow down.

I pleased that this space help you take a pause and reflect on your doings. It's great to see so much productivity and projects merging all together. Are you planning to add the merch ad the book to Satoshee website or t will be a dedicated one?

For now my biggest project is myself, and the many aspects in which I work to improve, step by step, without forcing the process.
reply
The best project one could work on, how do you define your next step without forcing the process? Have you set a goal to reach?

I got triggered by an intersection of the backstory I found around @Scoresby's post yesterday (#1067513), some stuff from the news last week and something I found while link-digging on @carter's post (#1067275), also yesterday.
But it is so easy to fall into a nasty conspiratorial trap that only form can negate. Maybe I will do a fiction month contribution after all.

Why not! If you have the time and I feel FM is a good initiative to learn something. I'll stay on the reader's side this time and look forward to reading yours.
reply
I was planning to stay on the reader side too but it would be good to get this off my chest haha.
reply
looking forward to it!

Fiction Month short story.
If I don't get this stupid story written this month, I will donate 100k to the rewards pool everyday for a week.

Good accountability deal! No reason to be hard on yourself. Think big, start small, step by step.

great project! What inspired and motivated you to start it, and where do you see it in the future?

Originally, I wanted to generate the metric “number of addresses with a balance greater than zero” myself, directly from my own node, because I saw somewhere on Twitter that it peaked exactly at the 2017 price peak. I thought it could help me predict the next cycle tops.
Well, generating that turned out to be way harder than I initially estimated, but the process eventually led me to develop a solid piece of software capable of generating all kinds of on-chain metrics on my own.
So, I learned a bit of web development and launched the website a few years ago, I think it was right after the FTX implosion in 2022.
Since then, I’ve kept improving it in my spare time (I still have a fiat job), adding new metrics and visualizations. I mostly use it for my own bitcoin price analysis, since traffic is low and I don’t have a meaningful number of subscribers.
Spread the word if you like it!

I want to improve my website. Maybe I should add images to the post index.
Was looking at images from unsplash but I don’t want the images to look too generic.
reply
On mobile, some spacing feels off—either too tight or too loose—and fonts/buttons could scale better.
Suggestion: Refine padding, font sizes, and layout balance to feel more polished on small screens.
reply
Did it used to look fairly different? I think the last time I visited your site was around the time you posted this.
I like how it is now. If it was the same then, perhaps it's my sensibilities that changed. But I like it a lot now.
reply
I like the minimalistic style, it keep it simple and force the visitor to focus on the contents. Images may be distractive, especially if you don't find one that reflect the essence of the discussed topic.
Unsplash is a good resource, nonetheless, don't feel forced to use images. In text heavy sites, it is good practice to have a thinner column and bigger font-sizes, maybe something you could play with.

yeah I had thinner columns before but felt like I wasted too much space on desktop
but maybe it's too big now
will try to have a good width so paragraphs look more like blocks instead of just a few long lines
thanks for the feedback!
reply
play with the two variables, column width and font-size, if you stick to the golden ratio you'll be fine

I've been working on a piece for a while now, and while it is coming along, I'm a little sheepish because it doesn't have many links. I associate links with citations, with evidence, with backing up what I say, and the way this pieces is turning out it doesn't have anything to back it up except the reasoning of the argument itself. Feels kinda naked.
reply
Does it mean there's a lot coming out of your own thought and reasoning? If so it makes it harder to find references and others that have touched similar points, but not impossible though.
Personally, I feel references are optional, especially if they have not contributed to create or inspired the piece itself. Feels funny to do the research work afterward, it might happen that you find references and change/improve the piece.
