I finally managed to finish an article on which I had worked for two weeks, most of that time battling writer's block.

Additionally, I made my first contribution to Forem's repository by initiating a discussion about adding internationalization to dev.to: github.com/forem/forem/discussions....

After having tried to sell our startup's ChatGPT chatbots for 4 months, and failing miserably, things are finally starting to pick up, and we're getting many orders per week now. Not really developer related, but it's refreshing realising somebody out there is actually willing to pay for all the hard work we put into our development :)

It's a combination of everything. Our sales process, the communication on the website, SEO, Social Media initiatives, etc ...

Weeks not over just yet for me! The weekends are when I shine... Hopefully I'll have started on my programming language's virtual machine and it'll be a real win when I see some of the operations executing statements!

It's a literal win: my solution for yesterday's CSS Battle came out on top for the first time! ๐Ÿคฉ

I don't know if it'll happen again, there are some seriously talented CSS coders there... But I'll take this win!

Finally implemented resumable downloads in our app, NOMone Desktop. Now even in areas with unreliable internet, users can still download and enjoy desktop Linux on their android phones. I have been putting this off since forever! if Allah wills, we'll be releasing this update after plenty of testing.
