subsurface VS userbase

why would you think he doesn't use other apps? Heck, he even wrote this https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface , although now other folks maintain it.

Also Subsurface Dive Log

Do you mean Subsurface?

> From the words of Linus himself

Since you don’t cite the source, I will assume that you’re referring to the Subsurface documentation (https://subsurface.github.io/download/). Linus himself, however, did not write it: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface.github.io/commit/91...

So true, where would we be without Subsurface ?

Coincidentally, Linus Torvalds took a sabbatical to make a dive log program. https://subsurface-divelog.org/

He's actually very pragmatic & uses C++ too when he likes the framework using C++ better. https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface

That didn't stop him from making a pet project in C++: https://subsurface-divelog.org/ I'd say that if he seriously didn't like it, he'd have used C or something else.

I haven't used https://userbase.com/ but a friend of mine has had good experiences

Ooofff there are plenty. Especially being a backend engineer. Two examples come to my mind right now. tinybird.co and userbase.com. Mostly what they are is a service to abstract away the complexities of a platform (say GCloud or AWS).

vercel.com

Cloudflare Pages is free + their serverless offering is decent free limits

Firebase

https://userbase.com/ - great free tier

Daniel has got his SaaS as well (Userbase), but part of the reason why he's invited is that I believe he can share his knowledge on:

I filled my own need with https://howsyourblank.com.

I have a minor, but chronic medical condition I am trying to get in check, and I just wanted something incredibly simple to identify good and bad days. I was inspired by "year in pixels" calendars.

And I took the opportunity to try out Userbase[0] and build something with a secure backend and no tracking, considering the potentially sensitive nature of it.

No plans for monetization at the moment. I could see adding more features such as tracking multiple data points, stats, correlations, notes, etc., and creating a premium version. I would need more users and feedback.

Likewise, we offer a 15% discount for payments made with Monero at https://userbase.com :)

If you’re wanting something super simple check out UserBase https://userbase.com . You haven’t given a lot of requirements here so there’s not much to go on.
