https://www.jomppanen.com - mostly blogging about ruby on rails

I've managed to keep steady pace with my blog over the years, I publish a blog post about once per year :)

Working solo on few thins:

https://masterlist.fi - shareable todo list without login

https://hockeytactic.com - tactics board for ice-hockey and floorball with live collaboration

This is the biggest marketing effort I've done for those projects in months :)

Like the first one because it's so simple, but you need to add a QR code somewhere: it would make a list more easily shareable. ;-)

I spent good amount of my summer holiday rebuilding Masterlist (https://masterlist.fi)

This is probably third (or fourth) incarnation of the app and I like writing a web apps with Hotwire more and more. Especially leaning more on <turbo-stream> features removes frontend complexity compared previous versions. Highly recommended, both Hotwire and rewriting your apps!

My "instant-flow" choices are Stellaris Soundtrack (Paradox Interactive) and Oblivion Soundtrack (by M83, Tom Cruise movie from 2013)

I'm a subscriber on Digitally Imported. It's know as DM.fm [1] nowadays but it's Digitally Imported to me since I started listening it in early 2000's :)

Yes, as a Sámi, I'd be interested to know more, desperately ;-)

Probably some kind of keto/carnivore diet if I had to guess.

Yes, but mostly all seafood and I eat berries as well. So it is not really either. I do not aim for ketosis of anything like that, mostly becasue my genetics protects me from it.

Hello!!! :) Are you full Sami or part? I am 1/4 Italian and 1/4 Hungarian as well. But it seems these dietary genes come from the maternal side.

Hi! Yes, I am. All my grandparents were Sámi, herding reindeer in northern Finland and Norway.

I like this article. If you are going to write more on the subject, I'd like to read how you handle uniqueness validations with FormObjects

I do plan to write more on validations. I just have some ideas I'd like to battle test first :)

Thanks for your comment.

I have given a lot of thought on this subject as well. I think the first few months will go nicely, putting money into savings and spending wisely. But I have a feeling that keeping up with the lifestyle is hard for most of the people. Your pace is frustratingly slow, and you really need to trust that the lifestyle you are living will pay off someday.

Just to scratch my own itch, I've built a finance independence calculator for my daydreaming needs

Cool little app. However, I'd like to see you raise the artificially low maximums you've put in place for the "Initial Investment" and "Monthly Investment" inputs. If you did, I'd be able to make use of it. (I'm 38 and definitely not "starting out".) It appears that you're making the assumption that the "Returns per Year" percentage input should also be used when figuring monthly income. I disagree with that. I'm comfortable guessing at a relatively high (7 or 8%) annual return on investment while building my savings, which would be derived from a combination of dividend income and capital gains. But, when it comes to living on a fixed income, I'm tempted to guess at a lower annual return (4% - dividend income only) because the negative consequences of being wrong are fairly high. My two cents.

It is an ugly hack, but /you/ could just scale initial investment, monthly investment and desired monthly income by the same factor.

I made a new years resolution to build a side project that generates income. I have no problems of coming up with ideas, but I could improve my "launch-percentage".

Usually, when I get an idea, I start building it right away. When my mana runs out (typically in few days), I lose the interest and forget my new project.

This time I am trying to focus on things that helps me finishing and launching the project: - Keep the scope of the project as minimal as possible - Test one hypothesis at a time, if it validates, build another feature and launch it - Make sure to launch the project before the mana runs out

When the year is over, I'm hoping that I have a side project that generates income, I'm a better write and I have hands-on experience on internet marketing.
