Hi there! I’d like to share my project with you all.

What is this? Vigil is a lightweight, self-hosted dashboard that watches your Docker images and tells you when updates are available. It’s a ready-to-run Docker setup with a simple install scripts. I know most people don’t like scripts, but since I’m a tech noob I find it pretty useful. For all the pros out there, you can check the script by yourself. This is my first “real world” project so it might not be as polished as other apps out there. It’s a hobby that I started cultivating a few months ago and I’m pretty excited with the results. However, it’d only mean something significant, if other people use it and give their own opinions about it.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I’d do my best to answer most of the comments.

Edited because the link wasn’t showing up and giving more details about the project. https://github.com/kumucode/vigil.git

    My impression is that you are coming in completely fresh on all of this and you were expecting everyone else to look at your project and tell you what needs to happen to fix it. That is not learning, that is other people telling you what to do. Nor the realities of the internet. We aren’t your teachers and what you need is instruction. Not minor feedback, not suggestions, actual instruction. I have a few suggestions if you are actually serious:

    1. Find a free python course and actually take it. Learn the basics of programming. You cannot judge the code the AI produces if you don’t even understand the basics.
    2. Next, read the book The Clean Coder by Robert Cecil Martin. There you will actually learn the techniques for good professional coding.
    3. After that read, Making Things Happen by Scott Berkun. I’ve done a few private personal Claude projects and I run them like a combo Project Manager/Engineering Manager/Staff Engineer.

    There are entire college degrees on these topics. And I’m not saying you have to go to college. But, If you’re not even willing to read a couple books, then you don’t really want to learn.
