Funny enough, teaching is my area of expertise, so I think I get where you’re coming from. But I also think it’s important to remember that there are a ton of ways to learn, and at the end of the day, only the person learning knows how deep they want to go with a given topic. That comment, “We aren’t your teachers, and what you need is instruction,” kinda comes off as condescending, but maybe I’m just reading it wrong. "We" means a lot of people, but not everyone.

I’m sure the books you suggested are great for building the basics, but assuming what someone’s willing to do or not just based on a quick post doesn’t really take the full picture into account. It’s like drawing. You don’t need to be the next Da Vinci just because you enjoy it. You can have fun, draw simple stuff, and share it with people. You might not end up in a museum, but that’s totally fine. Not everyone needs to be an expert to enjoy what they do. However, learning the basics definitely helps to draw better, right?

Totally agree with that. I was trying to keep things as simple as possible, but there was always a new thing to try. I'm currently not implementing anything new, just focusing on enhancing what is already there.

Sounds great, I've just released a small update after some feedback here. There's still a lot to be done, but let me know what you think once you test it.

That's pretty cool, I've never heard about newreleases.io I might take a look at it later. Thanks

That's actually a good idea. I was thinking about getting the features "working" as intended. I'll give it a try to the "explain back" method and see how it goes. Thanks

I hate bots, for real... I kind of miss the old days of internet where we could jump in a forum or any community to talk and connect with people. But I kind of get the point of building mechanisms to reduce the "bots infestation". Things are definitely more complex to visually and/or auditory impaired people. But at least, Lemmy isn't as annoying as Reddit and people sound genuine.

😅 no worries man, your comment just reminded me a popular saying in my local community; "who watches the watchman"

I think documenting everything is key so people can clearly see the progress. I didn't know that you could merge the changes to the main branch and that it is a core skill as you mentioned. I kind of noticed exactly what you said "it may change other parts of that file that you didn’t ask for" while doing some tweaks. This AI topic has too many branches and it's a fascinating topic for debates. Thanks for taking the time to give this advice.

Geez, it's really hard to have normal conversation nowadays on the internet. There's this constant skepticism of AI comments, and I get it. Most of the time I just feel like I'm talking to bots. However, I'm surprised that people really take their time to give their opinions here and they seem to be legit. Weirdly enough, I'm quite a positive and enthusiastic person... or at least I'm trying to practice that. There's been too much negativity around me lately, but who cares about what happens in my life, right haha? Don't need to explain myself to any one, but just felt like I needed to do.

There's certainly some homarr influence to that. Specially the icon search and the drag and drop cards. I was also trying to create something that could work as a "main panel" for my applications.

[–] 1step@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

'll keep an eye on it and keep asking around. I'm pretty sure there are better ways to do that.

In this world of technology, applications there are too many areas of expertise required to make things "functional" I'm not sure if I can learn everything required to make applications at the level of the most popular ones. I'm more interested in general knowledge and putting ideas out there. I still think that getting this project to the public even if it's not that great, is still better than have it just on my computer. So, the main purpose is to hear from people what they think of the project, maybe inspire others with more experience to put their projects out there too. My expectations were pretty low about this project, but it turned out to be a great experience to engage with many people from different background just like you.

 

A quick edit to address something important and provide a disclaimer:

Thank you all for your feedback! This project was “vibecoded” with Cloude AI and serves more as a “proof of concept” for what could be achieved with AI assistance. I’m just a tech enthusiast, and I’m excited to continue exploring new possibilities. I understand there’s a real concern about “AI Slop,” but that’s exactly why I’m sharing this project with you all so that experts who are interested in the idea can offer guidance or even help improve it.

I’ve noticed that many people with home labs prefer to update their applications manually instead of relying on other apps that automate the process. Often, they have to check each one individually. That’s where Vigil comes in. The primary function of Vigil is to centralize the information and give users clear visibility of which applications are outdated, their current version, and the newer version available from several sources. This way, you can decide what and when to update.

To be honest, I hope it ends up being useful to others as it is for me.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I’d do my best to answer most of the comments.
