New Job, Bike Delivery, and a Custom Quote System in the Works

Hey again!

Not gonna lie, this was a quieter week — I recently started a full-time job, so I’ve had less time to dedicate to AD-BITS. But don’t worry, I’m still squeezing in time between work shifts to keep things moving forward.

One of the bigger things I’ve been working on is an automated quoting system for custom prints!

This new feature will let customers upload their files, preview the model, and get an instant quote — all right in the browser. It’s powered by Kiri:Moto, and I’ve already knocked out most of the frontend. Just a few tweaks and a backend later, and it should be live by next week.

In other exciting news: I completed my first local delivery order!

I strapped the package to the back of my bike (shoutout to bungee cords) and hand-delivered it straight to the customer. For those who don’t know, local delivery is available at checkout for eligible orders — it’ll show up as an option if your address is within range.

Lastly, I’ve been thinking more about the kind of stuff I want to offer in the shop, and I’ve decided to carve out a dedicated section for home labbing gear.

I’ll be selling inserts and accessories for 10-inch cases, and eventually, custom cases with my own design twists — clean, modular, and a little bit fun.

That’s it for this week — still moving forward, even if it’s a bit slower for now.

Appreciate everyone following along!
