If you're concerned about leaving your house due to COVID, the Oculus Quest 2 ($300) has helped with feeling trapped a little bit. I feel like I'm in the environment when I have the goggles on. And the exercise apps have been a gr

Really interesting piece. I like how it discusses various seemingly disparate issues and ties them together. > In our codebase, we have hundreds of these jobs, each with their own run_config. If you look at this codebase as a database, y

I know this kind of misses the point, but Factorio is one of the most addictive and rewarding gaming experience I've had. Beware: within months it ate up collectively hundreds of hours from myself and members of my friend group.

I think it’s time of liquidity for double triggered RSUs. That’s what big pre IPO companies give and at IPO all the accrued RSUs are taxed as income.

Got it! For A/B testing, we have that on our roadmap, though I think you could implement a poor man's version like this: K:V would be: testing_data: { exposure: 0.10, colors: ['green', 'red'], } //

Hi! Thanks so much for your comment! Could you expand a bit on what you'd like with A/B testing? All of the values can be fetched across projects / clients, it's essentially a simple K:V store with broad libraries. For e

Hey - thanks for the comment. The vision for Config.ly is slightly different than what I think you described. In my mind there's "ENV VAR" which are secrets and has things like Doppler or many of the other things mentioned he

Hey! Config.ly Co-founder here. I agree that utilizing a database/S3 or rolling your own lightweight version is a big competitor to Configly. I'm not sure if you saw it, but I tried to highlight some of the reasons we think Config

Thank you for the kind words and really thoughtful comment! If we build a Python / Django library, would you integrate Configly? If not, what would it take? I think you hit the nail on the head for a core use-case: deployment processes

Hey! Doesn't come across as dismissive to me at all. It's a good question. You could think of this as Redis hosting (configured to be durable!) + UI with features like version history, lightweight type checking (and potential for

This is also a great idea. I really like the idea of having a tool to fetch the values from Config.ly and make that part of the build process. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. The goal right now is not to store sensitive data in Config.ly - your read API keys will be on your clients - and so in theory anyone who can read that source code can fetch your keys. > Who has access to each cl

You definitely could use S3! I think I view some advantages of using Config.ly as: - Updating content is way simpler. Even non technical folks can do it. (and soon you'll have revision history) - I think with the S3 library you can use

Makes sense and you could definitely do that. I could be wrong, but I think some folks would want their other clients -- even their server -- retrieving that value from that one single source. So when you roll an Android app, you'd als

Thanks for the great feedback. That's something we can definitely give more priority to. I actually had an iOS library version that would poll infrequently in a background thread and had a synchronous API. Something like: Configly.init

Hey thanks for the insightful comment! I'm sympathetic to your thought here on having an external service and going with a simple approach. Situations with a slow deployment process has been a big motivator for building Config.ly -- an
