Make a wish

short answer: maybe because we're actually having fun!

long answer: we started doing this decades ago at this point, like 2007. and sure, ai does generate amazing code and can save a lot of time. but there's almost no learning effect if you just copy and paste something you don't understand.

some people (thankfully) still prefer figuring things out themselves. not just pasting code from ai without knowing how it works. because if you don't understand it, you also can't really fix things when they break! and believe me, things do break all the time when you're actually coding something.

and I know, hard to believe, but there are still people who intentionally avoid AI and prefer using things made by other people, partly because it's also a way of supporting and appreciating someone else's work.

hope this doesn't come across as rude, but "why bother" is kind of a rude question too, don't you think? 🫶🏻

also, while ai is great for finding bugs or optimizing stuff, it's really easy to get used to it. and then you slowly start unlearning things. writing and coding manually, the "old way", kind of protects you from that. 😅

and let's be honest, ai probably won't stay free forever. getting fully dependent on something you don't actually understand, especially if you can't code without it, sounds like a bad idea, doesn't it?

sure thing! ✨ if you still need help, feel free to contact us! 🫶🏻

do you mean a content management system for writing blog entries, uploading images, and creating pages? we currently do not have an "all in one" script for that, but you can use dannys Sitemanager to create php pages, or use the Simple Uploads Companion together with one of the add-ons depending on your content type (images, designs, downloads).

aw, thank you! we're actually constantly adding more. is there anything specific you're missing at the moment? <3

thanks! what's your favorite so far? <3 honestly I can only speak for myself (danny, feel free to edit), but I usually start with a very simple idea, ironically. then I just keep refining until it feels right. I start with the absolute basics, actually use it, and keep asking myself "what's missing?" or "what's annoying?" and at some point I fall into a hyperfixation for days, working on it for hours, until I'm mad and go insane happy with it, mostly. there's no real secret, I just try to build solutions to problems I've personally had, or improve a workflow that annoyed me in the past.

as for the wishlist script: noted! I'm personally taking a bit of a coding break for now (at least that's the plan), but who knows, maybe danny will feel inspired and pick it up! <3
