[2/2]
Feedback/Critiques:
- Make the ads more distinguishable from the designs in the gallery.
- Subscribe popup on the post page comes in with delay and is annoying.
- Developers do not understand the software icons listed, they need labels.
- There was some confusion about the “open-source design” term, somebody thought it is created with open source software, instead of the design source file being available.
- Some developers don’t know how to open the source files. A tip should be included that Figma is free and it opens up most file formats.
- Find a license that is more in line with our permissive approach. Maybe public domain?
Bugs:
- 13 different bugs found in production
- 79 total errors thrown in production
- 27 users experienced issues in production
Operational Cost:
- $8 - $13 per day, most of which is egress traffic and server log storage.
Conclusion:
The soft went much better than expected, and it revealed some interesting insights about this project. We are going to make all the requested adjustments, fix the bugs, and prepare for the official launch.
- duiker101 7y ago$8 - $13 per day in operational cost seems crazy high for that many users where are you hosting? Anyhow, congratulations on the website, I love it!
- andreigaspar 7y agoHey thanks a lot! Yep crazy high to the point of scary high lol. It's Kubernetes on Google Cloud. It is awesome no doubt, but man ... this could be ran on a $5/mo DO droplet. Was thinking of migrating tbh.
- marvinblum 7y agoYeah seems way to oversized for this kind of site.
- duiker101 7y agoYou should definitely before your proper launch, I don't think that amount of money is sustainable. You'd definitely be cutting in your margins for no good reason.
- andreigaspar 7y agoI agree. I'll look into the DO Kubernetes offering, maybe that's more sustainable. I'd really like to keep running on k8s, but if it doesn't work out... I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and do my walk of shame back to droplets.
