I actually only added lighthouse recently, it is a very minor part of the tests. Everything besides the 'performance' and 'vulnerabilities' tab are custom built 100%. These are: * The layout tests and fullscreen renderi

I'm injecting https://markjs.io/ into the page and then highlight all the misspelled words, then I crop it out of the screenshot. (it does mean I have to take basically two screenshots, one with the spelling mistakes

PageWatch is a service I built over the last year to help find some recurring issues in websites. It can detect CSS issues such as container overflows, overlapping text or bad wrapping, spelling mistakes, slow pages and a few more. Built u

Glad someone noticed :) Almost felt too silly but then I just decided to add it anyway. I would not really consider it off the ground yet, I launched on ProductHunt (#5 product of the day) which gave some initial users, and from then on mo

I didn't even know about | for dict merges, that's pretty cool. But I feel the same, even in my private code I'm a bit hesitant to use :=, and any pip installable packages I almost feel obligated to write in more compatible w

I am almost to the point where https://pagewatch.dev covers its expenses, but getting any traction if you do not already have an audience is super hard. It is fun working on something that is your own though.

That's very motivating, things seem to alway go very slow then fast. I thought about adding a lifetime plan too when I launched on ProductHunt, but it is a bit scary when you are not 100% sure of your pricing structure. Might end up

That 'copy video at current time' option wasnt available until the livestream ended though. I should have tried manually adding it.

If you host your SPA on Netlify for example you can enable prerendering with just a checkbox, that way they will automatically serve the static content to Google. (as rendered in a browser)

You missed a few minor spelling issues, and some issues on an iPad. https://app.pagewatch.dev/ece9a1806742a1d9c7c99839078f3becfc... Looks good though, good luck :)

I'd love to read that if you ever put it together! How many hours of audio did it need to train one of the voices?

This looks really impressive, do you have any writeup on how you coded all of it?

I'm using scrapinghub extensively for https://pagewatch.dev , is this project something you can use as a self-hosted replacement? Its not very clear how it works, what does the Realtime mean?

Do you know the number of pages for each book? Then you could adjust the thickness automatically :)

Thats pretty cool, things go a bit crazy when you move the width too far right.

Does this mean they can also login to any account connected with OATH. Many sites allow Twitter auth.

I'm on the same schedule you were (working till sunrize), but I dont have a family or other obligations yet. If you were in my position do you still think its worth it to try and change to a more regular cycle? I really enjoy my nigh

I find it is hard to start an online company, especially if you do not already have a large network. What happens is you build something, and then.. nothing. I sometimes wonder just what percentage is luck, reaching that right person at th

Traffic for my service is too low to say for sure yet, but the hasura docs seems to indicate that it could be quite scalable: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/archite...

by lpellis 6y ago
True, but then I'm using the subscriptions model that Hasura provides, so in my case the UI update is actually automatic, its just initiated by Postgres triggers instead of cache (so a bit slower, but still fast enough)

I've used GraphQL and Hasura extensively for my project ( https://pagewatch.dev ) and it has been a huge timesaver to get a realtime service up and running. BUT, I'm still using REST for mutations (The POST/PUT par

Congrats! It always amazes me that there are still big/old players in a field that I thought I was familiar with.. I have seen many A/B testing tools but somehow never yours, I must be living in a different Google bubble. Gu

I also wrote about a few I find useful, biggest one is 'Sane Color', it changes the text to be black on white. (Some sites have very hard to read colors, and sometimes I prefer light mode over dark) https://loftie.com&

I built an Android app a few years back as a project to learn native Android coding, its been making around $300/month from sales/adsense. Its fun to read and reply to reviews every now and then. https://play.google.co
