   Thanks for the comment! Yes, I'd like to clarify Timeflake (and many alternatives suggested) is NOT meant to be used for security. There's an important note on the readme about this: > Since the timestamp part is predictable, t

    Interestingly, in German the word for debt - “schuld” - is the same as the word for guilt. Having lived in Germany for 7+ years, I noticed there’s a strong sentiment against owing money in general. Odd, considering the crazy high real-state

    I tend to prefer tools that have: a) withstood the test of time, or b) I feel comfortable debugging it if my business depended on it. My argument for battle-tested tools is, if they are still being used by a significant community even if no

    As a one-man SaaS, Cloudflare has been invaluable for me. I'm currently still on your free tier, but would be happy to pay when I need to. Just wanted to say, thank you!

    Additionally, be sure to check how your script behaves with SPAs and the browser history API. You seem to be binding to the browser history as-is, and might be firing lots of non-page view events. It's not just a theoretical case, I sa

    I think that shouldn’t cause much troubles in DO. I had it running for a while without the prometheus operator, and I didn’t have any issue. In the beginning I was even running everything on a one $10/mo “cluster” (cheapest DO offers).

    In my case it's more that learning Heroku would take me longer than using what I already know well, Kubernetes on AWS. So it wouldn't make sense for me to use Heroku (a tool I don't have much experience with), and pay more. I
