Monica VS TeslaMate

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

The graphs linked above were generated by a self-hosted application called TeslaMate, which connects to the Tesla API and harvest data as you drive, so I've got fairly extensive "health stats" for the Tesla I've owned. TeslaScope is a cloud based equivalent, which is cheap, and I also use, but mainly as a backup to my TeslaMate instance.

Interesting, that would work. I didn't know teslafi can CONTROL the car. I'm using teslaMate, which is basically read-only.

Does anyone have experience with a self-hosted solution? Something like TeslaMate or TeslaLogger?

So Tesla drivers have TeslaMate which is a self-hosted data logger for their car's trip data. Anyone aware of anyone building a version of this for our EV6s? The Kia Connect infrastructure claims to have an API. Would be cool to develop something like this for us.

I just referred to a couple of legs from my trip from Sydney to Adelaide with the pod on (using Teslamate) and compared it to another more recent one without the pod on. The last of the three will probably give the best example as it is while driving the Hay Plain which is one of the most boring, flat roads you could imagine. It was during the COVID lockdowns so basically no traffic either.
