I thought this was going to be a configuration generator and/or parser of an existing configuration file. While the documentation here is excellent (and the style of the site very nice), when I hit the home page, I am still left asking "now what?" needing sort through an endless list of alphabetical configuration parameters.
I think it would be much more interesting if I could load an existing configuration file and have a tool like this parse my configuration, giving it the highlighting and hyperlinks to documentation. It could analyze the file and give recommendations. Or I could specify my desired configuration outcome (high availability, low latency, multi-user, etc.) and it would create a starting template for me to work from.
p.s. I also personally dislike/distrust disqus and would not lean on or trust the comments there. Let alone it not working at all for anyone blocking cross-site cookies, etc.
[EDIT]
OK, so maybe I didn't read the blog post about "what's coming" which might be inline with what I just wrote. Specifically (from TFA):
> Right now we are working hard on a fully featured application service where you can have a graphical configuration interface (or UI) with Drag & Drop of your postgresql.conf files with automatic validation, and a REST API where you can store and share your custom postgresql.conf configuration files. You will also be able to download your configurations in several formats, like the native postgresql.conf, YAML or JSON.
So I guess that's getting closer to what would actually be useful to someone like me. Wake me up when that option actually exists.
- ahachete 7y agoYes, that is coming. If you want to be woken up when the config file management is up, I'd recommend you to subscribe to the mailing list and/or follow on Twitter, you will be promptly informed ;) Re: Disqus. It's not our favorite service either. We tried with Commento on other site and the experience was terrible. Data was permanently lost. We welcome other suggestions, for now Disqus does the job.
- kenniskrag 7y agoDo you have a rss feed? I have a lot of projects I follow that way. On twitter the timeline moves forward and bookmarks are not as convenient. :)
- ahachete 7y agoNoted. Good idea ;)

- tmpz22 7y agoYour site is really cool! Is it customized from a template I could check out? Or did you hand-wring all the parallax/layout yourselves?
- ahachete 7y agoYes, we did it ourselves from scratch. Thank you!
- Hello71 7y ago> a REST API where you can store and share your custom postgresql.conf configuration files isn't that just a pastebin?
