Indie Maker Update: Final Thoughts on NDAM and New Ventures

All right, this is probably my last Indie Maker update specifically for NDAM. This will be my Indie Maker update in general then. I've basically completed all the features I wanted to complete for NDAM. Most of this is around GPT and video generation, and those things are working fairly well. There are little tweaks and polish left to do, but I'm pretty happy with where it is. This is more of one of those baseline things that I'm really happy exists again. I don't have to go through TestFlight, and I want it just so I can publish my own audio blog. I'll use it and see how it turns out.

New Creative Pursuits

Lately, I've been focusing more on a different app to stream music and working on some different creative pursuits. I've been writing music and recording, streaming a couple of games on YouTube, so that's been a lot of fun. I'm just trying to get in the mindset of creating content in different mediums, playing around with it, and seeing what I can learn from that. I'm having a lot of fun.

Developing with Capacitor and Framework7

I've got four or five of these Capacitor Framework7 Vue apps, and every one that I build feels a little bit more native and polished. I'm going back and forth between them, trying to re-implement the things I've learned from one app to the other and solving some issues like:

For the PWA, I basically have to swap out Framework7's router for Vue Router to use Vue with Framework7 in a way that works and feels good. I've figured out how to get all the animations and swipe-back functionality to work.
I usually swap out Framework7's store for Pinia and have moved away from any Capacitor APIs unless I have to have them. This way, I can build the PWA straight from Vue and only use Capacitor where I absolutely need the extra functionality.

Building a PWA in Vue with Framework7 versus a Capacitor build results in a completely different set of little quirks to the app, so this has been a lot of fun.

Updating the Mastodon Client

I need to go back and update the Mastodon client that I created. I want to get short video working for when TikTok shuts down in a couple of days. Basically, I have a TikTok-style video feed inside of that app, but I need to swap out Vue Router for Framework7 Router to fix a few bugs and glitches in the way it works. Once that's done, I can put it back up.

Focus on Music

Other than that, I've mostly been focusing on music right now, so maybe I'll share more of that in the next few days. But as far as my Indie Maker update goes, that's pretty much it. Thanks for listening.
