Welbi | Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | REMOTE in Canada | https://welbi.co | 100k - 120k CA$ Our mission at Welbi is to improve the quality of life for older adults like our parents and grandparents. We do this by transforming the way life enrichment teams in senior living communities care for them every day.

Stack is TypeScript React with some REST endpoints and a GraphQL server, everything on top of AWS (deployed via CDKTF/Terraform).

We're looking for devs primarily in the backend side, or fullstack with a bias toward backend. Of course, we most likely have a place for you if you come with great ideas, and open mindset, and are excited to learn and work with an awesome team in other areas as well.

I created a section on my website for shower thoughts and link reminders. I'm building it as I go and as I require new features. So far it's a title/desc+tags that I can search and filter. I'm planning to add a random reminder every day and some sort of "check back in X months/years if what I predict happen to be true". I can't remember the name of the addon I had to create bookmarks in the 2000's with tags rather than folder and but it was the best organization tool I ever had (as a very disorganized person), trying to recreate what I remember from it.


Oh and I'm also working on an extension to quick add links, with an AI summary on what's on the page + tagging. But that far off in the future!


For typesafe queries at the edge I'm using kysely + planetscale over http (look for database.js). The only drawback is collapsing rows into neat objects is slower than Prisma (client written in rust) but I'm mostly writing graphql stuff this days so less of a problem.

Great Job, I ran a somewhat related site https://makeithappen.dev/ (no longer maintained, this was a hack weekend project build on stream a few years ago) but there's some cross functionality in there. Really like your solution, this is rekindling that old makeithappen flame ahah.

Best of luck and keep going! Cheers


I like your project. And your domain name. Very similar, indeed.

Are these real suggestions that are posted on the site? Like from the photographer wanting a solution to quickly share photos right from his DSLR? Because that's great stuff. Actual users describing problems they need solved.

I would imagine that, most of the time, people don't even realize that there is a better way. Hence they're often not actively hunting for a solution, or able to even just describe how a potential solution could look like.

If you, during a weekend, got several strangers to post such detailed requirements, I'd love to hear how you did it.


I posted a few of them to show the flow and not be an empty website and then it was people on the stream going in with their ideas. I was looking into parsing reddit like r/SomebodyMakeThis, twitter and keep on doing some streams picking stuff from the ideas in there to promote its use but you know life happened and it got put on the side lines. The hardest criticism I received is "why would I give my idea to someone else, they may make millions out of it" which is not a big problem in my book, as I have way more ideas and problems than time to build solutions for them, but this might be the biggest pushback I received.

The plan was to let ideas float around, let people discuss and gather around, maybe mark that they would be willing to pay for a solution. When an entrepreneur or company comes along and want to tackle the problem, we can link people with the problem with the people building the solution, which in my experience was the hardest part of starting a project.


I made what you describe a few years ago on a coding stream during a weekend. https://makeithappen.dev/ was the place, everything about the site is horrible but I liked the idea, maybe it's a thing I could revisit someday.
