A small tool I'm building for myself because I often forget what I actually did during the week, especially when it's time to summarize it, do my weekly review, or prepare for 1:1s or evaluations.
The idea is simple:
1. On the days I work, I get an email one hour before the end of the day (as I usually use emails as todo lists).
2. I reply to that email with what I did just like I would in a personal journal.
3. My reply gets saved and shows up on a calendar. It's nothing fancy, just the content of the email on the day it was written.
4. When I need to prepare for a performance review or a manager check-in, I can generate a clean report based on my past entries with summaries written by AI
That’s it. No login every day, no new tool to open. Just a little trace of my work, saved quietly, and summarized when needed.
Started using Coolify (self hosted) for ~6months now and I love it !
Works great with most of the stuff I deploy (react SPAs, python/fastapi stuff, hugo). Sure, I can do my proper setup, but tbh I just want to go fast sometimes and Coolify is great for that.
For DBs and cache, didn't test it though, but willing to next time I have a personal project !
Great stuff, thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work !
Happy customer of Apitally for about a year now! Very easy to setup, attractive pricing, great UX and it basically covers all my needs! Overall, very impressive, I'm a great fan of your product, and I'm excited for the future updates !
At my previous company we looked for something quite similar as yours, we ended up testing ScoutAPM but it was too expensive for us. What was interesting in it was the SQL queries traces and the DB monitoring. I think there is plenty of companies scaling up and needing to start working on perf (and optimizing DB queries, especially when you're using an ORM, is one of the first things that you want to monitor). Maybe it's something worth analyzing as a future feature ?
Thanks so much for the shout-out and feedback! Definitely true that tracing (likely with OpenTelemetry) would be a very valuable future feature addition - especially for database queries. I actually had that use case come up at work today.
