Wanderlist - Setup

Overview I am a big fan of separating a web client (typically as a single page application) from a backend that can be accessed using a REST api. The setup feels intuitive for me and can easily be extended for branching out into different clients, like mobile apps. For development, I package everything as simple as I can using docker and docker compose. Docker compose is a nice middle ground that is easier to set up and run than kubernetes but means you are already “halfway there” if you want to deploy into a k8s cluster later on....

Wanderlist - Planning

Wanderlist One of my favorite ways to explore a new city are free walking tours in which a local guide takes you around the city, shows you interesting places and shares their knowledge with you. At the end of these tours, guides often share their favorite spots and ‘secret tips’ with you, usually as a way to keep contact or get you to follow their Instagram. We’d take these recommendations and, if there is time, plan some of our travel days around visiting them, eating there or whatever else makes sense....

mealpreplist.com - Your weekly mealprep, made easy

Meal prepping is the practice of preparing multiple meals at once and either freezing them or keeping them in the fridge to eat over the upcoming days. There is an active community on reddit (r/MealPrepSunday/) and various blogs online. Often mealprep containers are separated in three sections for a carb source, a protein source and vegetables. With mealpreplist I wanted to save my own, simple meal components for each of these sections and allow myself an easy way of combining them to a meal to prepare....

Whatchr.com - a better youtube playlist experience

Whatchr was born of a personal problem. I regularly watch let’s play content on youtube (following a group of content creators with their series), mainly following the channels of The Yogscast. Youtube’s focus is on either suggesting content it thinks you find interesting on your “Suggestions” or content divided in daily chunks in your “Feed”. There is no nice way to watch multiple series other than bookmarking playlists with watch positions....
