print-at-home plans

Posted on 18 April 201416 April 2014 By antipaucity 9 Comments on print-at-home plans

Someone needs to start a business selling print-at-home furniture/home-improvement plans that include parts lists (and, ideally, costs) from their local Lowes / Home Depot / TrueValue / Ace / etc.

Most folks who want to tackle small projects don’t want to buy books or magazines that may (or may not) include what they’re interested in – but which will definitely include loads of stuff they’re not.

Having a simple webstore that offered complete build instructions, parts lists, and approximate costs (both dollars and time) would be awesome.

I’m thinking something like an on-demand version of eMeals, but for your workshop.

    Time to fire up Rails, Warren?

    maybe so, Chris? You know it?

    Rails? I’ve dabbled. It works about the same as any other MVC framework. The parts I have trouble with are the front-end everything and user authentication.

    I just started a project using Go and the Beego framework. It has a lot of the same concepts as Rails and ASP .Net MVC, but being in Go it’s a lot more open-ended.

    I’ve never worked with an MVC framework – I know the concepts, but never used it 🙂

    I’ve never used Go, either – can you elaborate at all on what your current project is?

    A classmate of Sabrina’s was like, “How hard would it be to make a website with multiple-choice study quizzes on it?”. Then I was all “Not that hard.” Then I went to a conference about Go, learned about Beego, and decided I might as well make a website in an inappropriate language.

    It’s its own webserver! How nuts is that?

    that is pretty darn cool … when does it go live?

    or will you be open-sourcing it?

    It’s about 1/8th baked at the moment. Occasionally I leave it running here: http://107.170.101.48:8080/
