Welcome to Remotely Interesting brought to you by Netlify.

In this episode, we start diving into the awesomeness that is the Jamstack ecosystem, which we fondly refer to as The Jamosphere (cue cool, funky theme song). What better way to kick off this segment than with the Jamstack Conf Web App of the Year: Lunch Money! We were thrilled to have the brilliant solopreneur, engineer & designer of Lunch Money, Jen Yip, join us in discussing the creation of the app. We discuss the origin story, the tech timeline, tools Jen's built and were awe-struck by the mere fact that she actually carried out a side-project to its (successful) fruition. Like, what? People can do that?! Jokes aside, it was very inspiring to hear Jen's tech journey. We hope it inspires you too!

Using the Jamstack Approach

"Oh they call this the Jamstack"
makes it easy to iterate, deploy, roll back, and hone in on issues
In the Jamstack you can use APIs or build them yourself it's more about decoupling
Decoupling & breaking things down to help manage them
- splitting different tasks on separate servers

The Ups & Downs

Timezones! ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ︵ ┻━┻
seamless feature implementation thanks to good architecture

The Future of Lunch Money

solo or non-solo?
hiring out contractors for OSS auxiliary features
what features are next? month-to-month planning
- e.g. more people needed bulk imports so CSV importing was prioritized
- a combo of what users want and what's best for the development of the project

TidBits & ThoughtThings™️
