Debugging Dan is where I’ll be sharing my personal experiences as I juggle being a husband and a dad, having a full-time job and a passion for side projects. It’s not so much about debugging code, that’s a metaphor. It is about debugging and navigating life in general. Why start this podcast? For me, it’s about creating a space where we can learn and grow together. Life can get hectic, and side projects can sometimes feel overwhelming. But through this weekly podcast, I hope to offer some guidance, share some laughs, and most importantly, remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. www.debuggingdan.com

  1. My Take on Vibe Coding

    4月18日

    My Take on Vibe Coding

    In this episode of the Debugging Dan podcast, I dive into the concept of Vibe Coding, my unique interpretation of coding with the assistance of AI. I discuss how Vibe Coding makes it easier for people, regardless of their coding knowledge, to build applications using AI-driven tools like Vercel and Cursor. I’ve noticed an increase in AI-written posts on forums, where creators showcase quick projects that they’ve built, often motivated by the desire to gain recognition rather than contribute meaningful content. I share my personal experiences with using AI for coding, the challenges of prompting effectively, and my current focus on content generation through N8N—a no-code tool I’m enjoying. Vibe Coding, for me, represents following the flow and working with enthusiasm rather than getting bogged down by large projects. Stay connected!

    Migrating to Coolify

    In this episode, I discuss my current journey of migrating my application from an old server to a new one. The decision was triggered by a price increase from my hosting provider, prompting me to seek better options. I’m moving to a new server with larger disk space and a more cost-effective plan. Additionally, I’m transitioning to Coolify, a self-hosting application that simplifies container management and automates many tasks. I’ve encountered challenges while adapting my previous methods to this new environment, but I’m excited about the potential for improved efficiency and better user interfaces for my applications using AI tools.

    Cannot Complete a Project

    In this episode, I delve into my struggles with completing personal projects, sharing my experiences with various initiatives like DanCuts, DanCaptures, and DanVid Studio. Although I start each project with enthusiasm, I often face challenges that lead to a loss of interest or technical hurdles that feel overwhelming. I reflect on the emotional toll of leaving projects unfinished while also recognizing the valuable skills I’ve gained along the way. To combat this cycle, I discuss my plan to create detailed to-do lists to break down tasks into manageable steps, ultimately aiming to find a balance between my personal projects and the more structured work I do for clients at my agency.

    Restart, Refresh, Record

    In this episode of the Debugging Dan podcast, I reflect on my hiatus since December and share my journey toward resuming my podcast and building projects in public.

I’ve pivoted my approach to content by dropping the weekly schedule and now aim to share my progress freely. I also talk about my experiences with various video editing projects, including DanCuts and the development of my new project, danvidstudio, which leverages Pixi.js for video editing in the browser. I emphasize the importance of keeping a flexible mindset in entrepreneurship and the challenges I’ve faced with licensing changes in tools I’ve used. Stay connected!

    Get It Done #8

    An update on the progress I’ve made over the past two weeks in my projects, focusing on four main items. I successfully completed the Debugging Dan blog, addressing SEO tweaks and integrating RSS feed features. However, I struggled to make progress on content creation and the DanCuts project due to a lack of energy and the busy holiday season. I explored the potential of creating a desktop app for social media posting to simplify my workflow and facilitate content sharing. Moving forward, I’ll concentrate on developing DanCuts and a new project aimed at automating social media uploads. Tune in for insights on my journey and tips I’ve learned along the way.

    Built a Free Notion Tool

    The building your color palette article. I discuss how building free tools can enhance your website’s SEO and attract more visitors. I share my experience creating two free tools for my website: one for generating color palettes and another for syncing YouTube playlists with Notion. I explain the importance of designing these tools to provide value to users while also promoting my site. The first tool helps users select and generate color schemes for UI design, while the second tool facilitates integrating YouTube content into Notion, making it easier for users to track their progress. I emphasize that free tools are a beneficial strategy for improving SEO and engaging with potential users. Stay connected!

    Get It Done #7

    I reflect on my recent accomplishments over the past two weeks and outline my goals for the upcoming period. I’ve been focused on launching my new project, Dan Cuts, and refining my approach to social media sharing by creating a content calendar. Additionally, I’m reworking my blog, DebuggingDan.com, using Next.js, ensuring that it’s layered and responsive. For the next two weeks, I plan to finalize multiple projects, including completing the blog and improving my internal tool, Watch Your Numbers, to better track analytics.

  8. Something Else Than Saas

    Something Else Than Saas

    In this episode, I reflect on my journey of building side projects primarily focused on SaaS (Software as a Service) and the exploration of alternatives such as desktop and mobile applications. As I walk along the beach, I discuss my experiences with technologies like PHP and Node.js and how advancements like React Native and Electron are opening new windows for app development. I share my thoughts on the challenges of video processing and storage in my current project, Dan Cuts, and my desire to shift towards building a local Electron app that minimizes reliance on subscription models. This also allows me to incorporate a different business model while keeping everything locally processed. Ultimately, I aim to break free from the SaaS box, explore other app development avenues, and improve my marketing strategy while growing my podcast subscriber base. Stay connected!
