Record up-to-date demo for landing page
It took me way too long to get the S3 image bucket uploads to work. I tried CloudFlare too, but somehow I just couldn't seem to be able to get it working.
So I decided to go for Supabase storage in the meantime.
This is not ideal as egress and storage costs are much higher compared to AWS S3, but at least this buys me some time to figure it out at my own pace and the product does not have to be delayed because of a simple image-uploading feature.Tried S3 and R2 Cloudflare but could not get it working before going to work. Will try again later.
Implementing image uploads for logs today!
Let's see how this S3 bucket thing works.Finished the landing page!
Now it's time to start getting some users.I'm hoping to have the first fully functional MVP ready today after coming home from work.
What's left for the MVP:

AWS S3 bucket image upload for logs

Could not get it working. Time to go to work - will check after.
Woke up at 6:30 today to start working on Indie Logs before heading to my 9-5 - but the Sonoma MacOS update ruined everything. Nothing worked after the update: VSCode, NodeJS, GitHub Desktop, Discord, ...
I spent +2 hours trying to fix it, some things started working again so I can do some dev work, but still lots of basic things like copy pasting something on Finder, formatting VScode etc does not work.
Not a lot of progress made today. Some troubleshooting of an auth bug and added Twitter auth + logo.
Tomorrow should be better.Done today:
Implemented subscription model
Onboarding flow done
UI/UX improvements
Blue design color
Added support chat
Landing page finished
Added FAQ
Overall, good day even though I didn't have that much time.Starting to look more and more like a finished product!
Still not entirely happy with the landing page, colors and hero image overall.
