Update on Website, Blog, Docs, Demo and Development Progress

On Monday, I started with the most complicated feature, building the "Golden Product". The golden product is the final product imported into the owner's shop. It's super complicated; you can read about the challenges in my last post. If you are interested in the details, just read the user stories in the public issue tracker; it's quite a lot; I will probably need one or two more days to finish it. After this one, it's only getting simpler (🤞).

However, yesterday I had time for some basics and published the website, first docs, a public demo, and the blog.

🌐 The website - ossc.tech - is implemented based on Salient, a paid template from TailwindUI. It's responsive & snappy and deploys to Vercel without any issues. I am not super happy with the logo yet; I guess I need to spend more time on Midjourney prompting.

📖 For the docs - docs.ossc.tech -, I decided to use Docusaurus again, which is a powerful - but still pretty simple - documentation builder. Also, this one was easy to deploy to Vercel. There isn't much content yet, except for the local-installation guide (which is trivial anyway).

✍️ The blog - blog.ossc.tech - runs on Hashnode because I don't want to deal with any technology here; just publish my progress and have all the typical blog features. I plan to mirror my LinkedIn posts there for a broader audience.

🛠️ The demo - demo.ossc.tech - instance is deployed by Laravel Forge and runs on a super-cheap (but powerful) Hetzner cloud instance (CX22). I might move it to the new Laravel Cloud, as soon as I get access. The current setup isn't HA; just one server that operates the application and Postgres. There is a cron job that resets the database once per hour.

⭐ If you have 30s, maybe you could star my repo, to give it a bit more relevance. Thank you! 🙏
