Show HN: Second Screen News
This is my site:
http://www.uptopnews.com/ http://www.uptopnews.com/
With the auto-scroll feature the news just run over your screen.
I would love to hear your feedback!
Could you imagine to use this site everyday? What do and don't you like about it?
- three0x 8y agoBookmarked. The categories could be more specific though and the trends seem a bit vague.
- gnomodromo 8y agoAnother reason I post this here is to ask for advice how much CPUs and memory you would suggest for a site like that. It's hosted on EC2.
- viraptor 8y agoIf enough people start using it? I'd suggest doing the dynamic part on a tiny instance (i.e. only as big as you need for scraping and generating the updates / trends) and pushing updates to S3. Then the client can poll S3 objects. (With some marker for "latest") You'd have to cross 1gb/h of transfer before it costs more than running more than t3.small.
- gnomodromo 8y agoThat's a great hint thanks. I just created a test bucket with a JSON file, this seems much cleaner. At the moment I still use a node server and the database on the same instance.
- gnomodromo 8y agoHey and you can even make the browser window go over two screens, the window will be full of news cards.
- gnomodromo 8y agoMy favorite topic is the breaking news section with auto-scroll on the second screen.
- gnomodromo 8y agoDoes anyone has experience with pre-rendering angularjs? When I post my site on twitter I get tags like {{title}} in the tweet. I've seen some services that pre-render (SaaS) but I'd prefer an independent solution.
