Go + Qt and/or QML

Yeah, https://github.com/therecipe/qt seems like the best option right now...

You can do that with Fastmail easily.

+1, I use fastmail, if you use the domain only for e-mail, you can use fastmail's nameservers, DNS setup takes 2 minutes.

Take a look at 2Checkout.

It means "content", I don't think it's the name of the app.

I think he meant the only option as a web developer. Maybe he doesn't know C++ and C#, and it's not that easy with a web-oriented mindset to start writing desktop apps in C++ (it's not easy the other way either, I had a friend who after years of programming in Delphi started with the web by absolutely positioning every single HTML element).

When someone asks in which lang should he implement a webapp/SaaS/whatever, the first comment is to use the tech he knows the most. Why so much hate when the same principle is used for desktop app development?

The "API for advertising" you described is called native advertisement and is already a thing out there :)

Check OVH [0] ($3.49 is the lowest plan) or for even less, take a look at Time4VPS [1], they have really cheap servers, but I wouldn't use them in production only for dev and private use.

Hello,

My name is Roman and I represent Time4VPS. Our storage units can be deployed in production environment. Storage servers apply for 99.95% of SLA guarantee as same as standard VPS.

Can I ask you where do you look for potential project ideas?

Most of the projects are scratching my own itch. I don't intentionally look for project ideas. Why didn't I think of that. I wish I could do this. This could also be applied to this (something unrelated). These type of thoughts and questions typically trigger the potential project ideas. If unconsciously I keep focusing/thinking more about them for a while, I know I am on to something worth further investigating.

Can you please tell me what exactly?

What do you need to know, exactly? What do you need it for? It's too vague question to answer concretely.

Anything you could either do manually or write a bash/python/javascript/php/whatever script for, or use a SaaS.

It can be anything, like scraping some site and exporting the data as csv, getting raw text from pdf, doc files etc.

Do you use something like this, or do something that can be automated this way? Just give some examples that first come to mind.

Monitoring. Managing servers' configuration. Building packages to install on servers. Building reports.

Then it's not just me...

You get the "Service Unavailable" message, too?
