Photos Page
As you might have noticed, I added a photos page on this site. Something I wanted to do for a very long time but always procrastinating.
During certain periods of my life, photography was my greatest passion, just as much as I do today with Open Source and programming. Instagram was once a delightful, minimalist platform for photo sharing that I frequently used - until Meta's acquisition changed everything. While I could even tolerate the algorithms, ads, and short videos, the recent change of profile photo grids' aspect ratio from square to 4:5 was the final straw - an arrogant decision that impacts every user's content without proper solutions provided.
I am not sure if anger or disappointment are the right words to describe my feelings. But certainly, I am super lucky to be a frontend developer at the same time - so I can leverage my skills to build my own website and host my photos here.
So I requested to download all my data from Instagram (it takes roughly a day to process in my case), and then import them to the website. I use
Gratefully, the downloaded data is rather easy to process, and the photos track back to 2015. It's an intresting feeling to go though all those photos again. Technically speaking, my old photos are not honestly reaching my standards today. But they hold a ton of memories for me, so I kept most of them, hope you don't mind :P
Here here you have some of my recent photos:
It's a shame that the image quality from Instagram is pretty bad, as they compressed photos a lot upon posting. For that, I might consider to replace some of them with higher quality source I have in the future, but for now I think it's a good enough start.
That said, I wish could get back the routine of posting my photos often (as I am always saying 😅), especially now I have my own platform for that.
Thanks for reading! And I hope you find some of my photos interesting. Chesse!

家博会&婚博会
最近极限操作，装修和备婚并行。2月22日和3月9日南瓜和我去了两趟杭州国际博览中心，分别参加家博会和婚博会。
两次会场总体还算热闹，没有人山人海那么夸张，但也络绎不绝。在电商的冲击下，线下博览会仍然有两个核心优势：
1. 有些事情线下体验和当面沟通的信任感，仍然不可替代。比如，我们在婚博会上购买五金，需要看佩戴的效果。
2. 博览会很多供应商参加，可一站式线下体验对比。比如，婚博会上我注意到婚纱摄影展位的人最满，顾客都在与销售一对一沟通了解拍摄方案；只要时间允许，一天就可以把所有主流婚纱摄影品牌店逛完，不用线下一家家跑。
这两个优势想发挥作用需要一个前提：博览会的价格与线上电商具有相似的竞争力。博览会本质上也是一个团购平台，参展商当然也明白价格的重要性，事实上，现场的价格虽然未必是最便宜的，但绝对具有性价比。顾客都会在现场对比不同商家价格，也会对比线上价格。
举个例子，我们在家博会上定了美的理想家三代6匹一拖五的中央空调，家博会上国补后25700，在淘宝上看要3万多，后来我们到中博装修公司内询价，国补后也要27700，都比家博会上贵。
在家博会上还有个有趣的体验，在一个全屋定制展位，刚好有位大哥（和老婆一起）在跟销售聊，大哥问了一堆问题，确认了很多细节，看起来非常专业，于是我们坐下来和他们一起，最后照着大哥的合同抄了一份。销售也以老带新的方式，给了大哥和我一些优惠。结束时我加了大哥的微信，后来还在微信上咨询他装修问题。
偶尔逛下博览会，挺好玩的，后面想试试宠物博览会。

新项目RSS to Email上线
上一篇拾月推荐（第38期）中提到我在做一个实验，其实是测试我的新项目：RSS to Email。
我的博客同时支持RSS和Email订阅，其中Email订阅的服务换过很多次，或是因为价格，或是因为服务关停。
2023年4月，我用Python写了一个RSS转Newsletter的脚本，实现了自给自足，每次文章发布后，执行一次脚本就能发送邮件。其中Email列表使用Notion存储，Email地址收集使用NotionForm。
上述方案够用但不完美。比如：
1. NotionForm收集Email地址无法去重
2. 取消订阅无法自动化完成，需要收集Email地址，我再手动从Notion中删除
因此，一起想自己做个网站实现RSS转Email，今天春节趁着DeepSeek大爆发，顺势借AI编程做了个框架出来，之后陆陆续续优化一些细节，已经达到基本可用的状态，决定正式上线开放注册。
产品地址：https://rsstoemail.skyue.com
本产品需要付费使用，原因有二：
1. 网站运营有成本，且邮件发送越多成本越高，无边际递减效应
2. 我想赚钱
同时定价上有三个基本原则：
1. 邮件发送量小的用户，使用成本低 --> 按量付费
2. 与用户建立长期信任关系 --> 给予种子用户&老用户更优惠的价格
3. 让用户没有后顾之忧 --> 任何时候都可以退款
具体来说：
1. 标准账户：每自然年内前20000封邮件0.002元/封，超过部分0.0015元/封
2. VIP账户：所有邮件均0.0015元/封
VIP用户即为种子用户和老用户：
● 种子用户：前100位付费用户
● 老用户：网站刚上线，暂未定义
同时，考虑网站刚上线，为降低用户试用门槛，前100位注册用户赠送5元。
最后，本站尚未接入支付系统，因为充值需要走支付宝转账，具体参考网站定价页面的充值说明。充值退款均为手动处理，如有延误还请谅解。
