deldo VS Monica

In Django, it is just plug and play. Admin panel and other QOL features are there for you out of the box. There are enormous amount of plugins, seriously it is insane to a point that only thing missing is controlling a fucking dildo from the admin panel (https://github.com/qdot/deldo please port this). So you will re-invent the wheel. A lot.

I've only ever seen an Emacs package to control a dildo, someone should make a Vim plugin. Emacs really has a package for everything...

I suggest seeing https://youtu.be/B6jfrrwR10k beside that many dedicated packages exists for specific tasks with pre-coocked code from https://github.com/qdot/deldo to https://github.com/purplg/hass/ passing though http://melpa.org/#/tubestatus or https://github.com/segv/sudo-make-me-a-pizza org-mode act just as glue.

Why is it that the very first thing I thought of was https://github.com/qdot/deldo

Monica is a Personal Relationship Management (PRM) web application developed on PHP by Monicahq. The main aim of this project is to help individuals to organize and record their interactions with others. It works as a CRM tailored for managing relationships with friends and family. The Monica project is designed for individuals who struggle to remember important details about the lives of people they care about, including those with conditions, like Asperger syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease. It provides a private and personal space for users to keep track of essential information about their friends and family.

I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).

However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.

I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.

I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.

That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

I am looking for some kind of cli/tui app that has similar functionality as Monica.

My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.

Have improvements been made with this in the new version?

That does remind me of this project: https://github.com/monicahq/monica
