Ahoy Shipmate,
We are gearing up for the launch of Data in the Wild! A podcast brought to you by Xata with yours truly as hosts and podcast brand designers 🤪
Learn from your favorite indie hackers as they share hard-earned lessons and tall tales from their data model journeys!
Sign up on datainthewild.fm to be notified when episodes are released.
We’d also love to do a season 2 where we deep dive into proven data structures/design/models for specific features such as comments, tags + categories, organization vs. user, etc.
We are actively looking for a sponsor or sponsors. If you have a contact at Supabase, Appwrite, Xano, Drizzle, or the like, we’d love an introduction.

Upcoming YouTube Premiere
The Pirate Princess (9 👸) has created her first YouTube video, a behind-the-scenes video of me streaming. However, CapCut (the editing app she uses) only references media, so I thoroughly messed it up trying to make space on my phone for workcation videos 😭 Hopefully, we’ll find a way to fix it 😬
Crew Highlights
🥳 Captian Ola and I celebrated 15 years as a couple walking the beach here in south Portugal, where we are on workcation.
🏴☠️ We are working hard to formalize a set of Developer Marketing services based on live streaming and testing dev tool onboarding.
✨ We’ve got our first sale for Build with us: 5 streams creating a creative demo using their product, resulting in a boatload of social posts in their brand.
🤫 I’ve completed my first Mystery Dev assignment. It’s like “mystery shopper” but for dev tools.
📺 Captain Ola keeps using YouTube shorts to ship his sketch notes, and we are continuously publishing clips like Work from home: smelly feet edition
🧑🏾💻 I hired Rishi Raj Jain to help me get datainthewild.fm out the door by completing a few issues while I was traveling, and it was great!
☀️ We traveled to catch the pre-release of Spring in Portugal, but it’s acting like an unstable beta…
From the archives
The most popular post by a large margin on queen.raae.codes is A little semantic HTML trick for React components. It’s still relevant and worth a read!
Around the Interwebz
💡 Geoff, my partner at Ousteta, hired this guy after @levelsio blew him up on Twitter after seeing his video on Wifi Money.
🛠️ Both devs and no-coders should take Framer for a spin. You can draw a UI element and then enhance them with a custom higher-order React component 🤯
📺 Flickering Glowing Neon Text Effect with CSS and HTML tutorial video by Mandy_Kerr
We’ll be shipping live streams for a client and then chopping them up into clips, but we’re shipping live video first because … it’s more alive!
All the best,
Queen Raae
