Hi, I'm Branko. I am looking for a part-time or contract position in a small team where I can wear multiple hats: building features (Frontend/Laravel), handling support tickets, writing documentation, and improving SEO.
I have an engineering degree in Geodesy/GIS and 5+ years of customer support experience. I've developed products like a text analysis tool, a fishing logbook app, and an app for easing certain customer support tasks (links on website).
If you need someone who is just as comfortable handling support and documentation as they are writing code, I'd love to chat.
I missed your Show HN, but I got the game now. Looks fun, and the fact that each citizen is simulated reminds me of Banished, which I enjoyed playing! Was happy to spend some wallet money I got from CSGO cases.
Thank you for making it, and don't give up. Passion and vision > vibe coding sloptimists.

My wrap includes getting married, travelling to Italy, Slovenia and Germany, finally making a few sales of the app I'm working on, and dealing with residence permit. In 2026 I will continue working on my apps and hopefully make more sales, I hope to do some freelancing, fish more with dad and travel a bit.
I'm planning to read more, mostly technical books recommended by the fine folks on the Book Overflow podcast and a few books on writing. As someone who's mostly self-taught, I know I have many gaps in my knowledge, so I'd like to fill some of those. And learning new things just feels great.
I'm also hoping to improve my Romanian. While I can get by (my wife is Romanian and we live there), I make waay too many mistakes, and considering I've been living there for a few years now, I feel I should do better.
This year has been pretty busy with personal things and working on my own apps, so I hope next year I can get back to learning things I find interesting and useful.

GLM 4.5 is a great budget option for me. After cancelling Claude sub ($20 USD one), I've been trying Gemini 2.5 Pro through Gemini CLI, and it was okay for landing pages and UI. However, I switched to GLM through Claude Code using their cheapest subscription and it's been pretty good so far. It feels more creative than Gemini when it comes to UI, not Claude Sonnet level (can't compare with Opus), but it's 90% there. It also follows instructions better than Gemini, and makes fewer or no syntax errors. Gemini through Gemini CLI would somewhat often completely mess up Astro files, or be a bit lazy. No such problems on AI Studio though.
A few days I got their quarterly promo plan ($9 USD), so I'm excited to try 4.6.
Just register a subscription [1] with z.ai (company behind the GLM models), get an API key [2], and then put something like this in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, etc:
alias zcc='ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic" ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your z.ai api key" claude --model GLM-4.6'

I recently started working on a fishing journal/log kind of app. I got that idea last year when returning from fishing with dad, that it would be nice if we could track what we caught each time we went fishing, where we went, and to track some details (water and wea details). There apps that already do that, and one could also use Excel or just paper notebook, so I'm making this mainly for us and his friends to use. It's still early, but I'd like to add groups so you can exchange messages or catches with your friends, add stats allowing you to see for example at what time and where you caught most fish, or using which lure or bait. The app is in Serbian though, but here's a link if you want to check it out: https://buckaros.com
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: JavaScript, React, Astro, Hono.js, Node.js, Pocketbase, PostgreSQL, PHP, Laravel, Inertia, TailwindCSS
