I love stimulus. And Hotwire. I find everything more maintainable and faster to developer when rails on the centre of the universe. Obviously a personal preference. I faced a similar display toggle-able use case for form fields recently. I

I love that use of the VC domain. Refreshing.

Love it. This response is very reactive heavy, where as it’s elixir I’m more interested in. But well done on the execution. It does exactly what it states. I’ve bookmarked. I often search HN for additional articles and discussions based on

Yep, same situation. Looked into render. I liked what I saw (and spun up a trial). But it was going to be expensive for a bunch of low usage projects. I ultimately went with a large-ish droplet from DO with dokku installed. It’s been great,

It wasn’t a good experience on mobile (iPhone SE2020). The background images took ages to load (I’m assuming they’re massive, I’m on 4g). The image didn’t complete loading before switching. Swiping down brought up a modal, but it didn’t loa

Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. While I wouldn’t have shifted my domains to google, because of exactly what has just transpired, I am considering moving everything to cloudflare for the same reason I should have moved them to google. My

I’ve been using Hotwire, stimulus and bootstrap (tho tailwind would work just as well) to build interactive front ends on top of rails without getting bogged down in over engineering. Hotwire can be used outside of rails. And LiveView is a

I like the idea of paid to comment / interact. I mostly lurk reddit / read. But understanding its balance between sustainability and popularity, is there a lower bound to free that can ensure the content is posted to seo the space

Interesting. I’ll take a look. Yes, plugging and unplugging is a major pain. I often find my windows re-appear on the wrong screen. And sometimes the wrong desktop… which is weird.

I notice your lowest plan is 2500 daily notifications. So you’re stating you have 25k users that use less than 2500 daily notifications? I’d suggest your free tier is too generous if you’re struggling to convert free to paid. I feel like th

I’d be keen to try something like that out. I’ve been using pop os for the past few months and I’ve fallen in love with its snapping window manager. I have a 4K screen plus the laptop (xps 13). I can have two browsers open, then my ide. And

I’ve had success moving my family over to signal. It took persistence. What I’ve found to work is taking it one family member at a time. And do it in person, get them to commit to using it. Then ask if you can set it up for them, show them

I like the idea behind this. My concerns with using it are that the app itself languishes, or doesn’t get traction. Is there any capacity to use a neucard with a recipient that doesn’t have the app? Are there any plans to open this up to al

Nice. I guess I don’t expect willow to cover the speaker element. I’d rather connect with my existing hifi / Bluetooth speakers. But with google I’m stuck with their integration to Spotify. It’s that component I’d like control over, an

I’ve been living in a house for the past few months with a google assistant. I only use it to put on music, but I have noticed I play more music due to the ease of putting it on. But I hate the privacy invasion aspect. I’m definitely in the

Doesn’t that beg the question? Why hasn’t a platform capitalised on the perpetual future in tradfi markets. I can understand why CME might not. But why wouldn’t a new entrant like robinhood launch perpetual futures?

Looks like a great tool. And the video demo really sold it well. The video demo did downscale / blur at times, which made it unreadable. https://imgur.com/a/91Sgvgt Everything else on the site was extremely clean

Haha yep, I’m in that category at the moment. I’ve been buying a lot of albums on Bandcamp, and in most cases I get the vinyl or cassette, which comes with the digital download for free. I plan to get a record player, and full hifi. I do h

Tangential complaint on google account sign ins. If I remove an account from an app / device, I expect it to be gone. But they clearly shadow it. I have three google accounts (work, work and personal). And when I log into my personal

I don’t know. But I suspect they bought some established websites via a marketplace like flippa, that had established earnings (traffic, ad revenue). They then swapped the Adsense account to their own, and discovered that the ad clicks were

I similarly found the trackpad fine with Linux mint. Tho I found the difference in gestures quite annoying. Primarily in web apps like Miro. And window / app switching. With enough hacking around it seemed like all the gesture support

Do you want to re-check if that setting has been retained? It sounds like there may be a re-sync but with the carrier.

That’s awesome! Congrats. Are there any feature requests / product directions that have been requested, that you’ve rejected / neglected? For better or worse. Solo building is often about hard decisions on what NOT to do. And with
