now that @marclou added Paddle Support, I was finally able to list Vemetric on TrustMRR! 🥳 sadly I'm not able to list snappify yet, as it's still on Paddle Classic 🥲 check it out 👇 trustmrr.com/startup/vemetri…

Whenever I give a presentation there’s always someone asking what tool I used to put my slides together. It’s Snappify, made by Dominik! The customer support is out of this world :D

while I'm working a lot less on snappify compared to the previous years, I still treat it as a product that is used by many (paying) users, and I want them to have a great experience here and then long-year customers like @mathsppblog reach out if there's something annoying in their workflow or they are missing something, and I'm doing my best to provide them with fixes and also new features 🫡 and to be honest, it's always refreshing to come back to this code base where I've poured so much time, energy, and love into .. it's still an outstandingly good product!

Carbon (carbon.now.sh) is the most common one for this style of code screenshots. You can also use Ray.so or Snappify if you want more layout control and themes. Paste code, pick theme, export PNG/SVG. Done.

your sql portfolio projects look like garbage because you don't know how to present it to the analytics team stop being an amateur i see many people simply take the screenshots of their codes and put them into the presentations are you serious? you're showing your entire screen in the name of sql queries no one has that much time to zoom-in in every single image and there's nothing wrong with this approach if you want to stay unemployed but think from the viewer's side is it easy for them to read and understand such distracting screenshots? your viewer can be anyone recruiter or hiring manager or linkedin audience they don't want to see your windows taskbar or your 50 open chrome tabs they want to see your logic & your attention to detail if you can't even present your code properly how can a company trust you to present their business data? instead, present your code like the way i did below not only does it show your code & makes it easier to understand you also show your presentation skills which are just as important as your technical skills to create such snippets you need to just copy-paste your code and you're done you can use these websites: → ray[.]so → snappify[.]io snappify provides a lot of options for customization whereas ray is simple & easy to use the below example is created in ray[.]so stop being lazy & start acting like a professional data analyst in your next project use such code snippets and see how easy it becomes to read and understand everything it takes 2 minutes to do this, so you have no excuse for a messy portfolio

Black Friday deals for Vemetric & snappify are live .. gotta start early this year 🫡

Thanks a lot Athena! I actually use Microsoft Word and snappify to make those cheat sheets 😁

A customer requests a useful feature? I ship it 🫡 After 4 years it's now possible to duplicate folders its contents on the snappify Dashboard^^ I'm a fan of the "only ship it when someone needs it" policy :D

still remember implementing this for snappify so many edge cases you don't think about in the first place 🫠 great work!

created a snappify template out of this in case anyone wants to reuse this kind of animation :D snappify.com/templates/97956…

together with Claude Code, I finally implemented a programmatic way of checking which elements a Template in snappify uses to determine which Subscription you need for it now I can show these badges for each of them :D saves me a lot of time from now on as I had to do it manually for each template

had a nice chat with @dagorenouf about my journey, snappify & Vemetric, and indie hacking in general Dago's format is perfect to listen to while working, in case you want to tune in :D and tomorrow, Vemetric will be live on LaunchDay! 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=5kRAp7AN…

I've spent so many years working on snappify and extending it with a gazillion features it sometimes blows my mind again to see what it offers and how helpful it is to create technical presentations :D

did a lot of marketing related tasks in the past weeks time to treat myself with some feature development again 🤭 atm, I have this Slack Channel to see the latest Subscription Changes for snappify it's time to replace it with a new feature in Vemetric called "Event Streams"

ah I see, for snappify it was the same, I just handled everything in Next.js and theoretically it was fine but Google always complained about the performance even with SSR Hydration .. so I wanted to optimize it and went for Astro for the marketing pages jep the Docs as well

snappify is depending on external services and down 🫠 Vemetric is self hosted and works flawlessly 👌

It was about time 🥲 as Splitbee is sunsetting its service at the end of the month, I've just removed it from snappify it was a great product, and if it hadn't been acquired, I wouldn't build Vemetric now Kudos to @tobiaslins & @timolins, you're always a huge inspiration 🫡
