Hey HN - I wanted to share my latest side project with you all. My long term vision for Postcarder is to partner with other liberal political organizations as a tool their supporters can use. But the self-service part of Postcarder is worki

Hey HN! I'm launching my winter side project today, Postcarder. Postcarder makes it easy for you to write your elected representatives in support of liberal causes. By combining a few APIs and an address book for Capitol Hill, my hope

Gomix ( https://gomix.com ) is my current favorite. It might not have as many bells and whistles as the others you listed, but it "just works" more of the time than any other platform I've tried.

HyperDev is definitely a service to watch. I spent a lot of time with Docker in its early days, and now I work a lot with documentation. I dream of providing my readers with live, on-demand sandboxes they can use to play with our sample cod

I agree that most HN readers probably wouldn't use this service, but I will definitely point people to it. I have set up dozens of sites for friends and relatives over the years. The only reason I'm still paying for shared hosting

It would be awesome if someone created an AMI after they finished those driver steps, at least. If I do it I'll be sure to post back here.

I also use the $5-tier Digital Ocean droplets to host some side projects. I've had some processes die semi-regularly, though, because the OS does a scheduled maintenance task that maxes out the 512mb RAM. Adding a swap file seems to ha

Definitely some neat features here which will help people who need to use Docker but can't use the command line. For example, when you click the 'Terminal' button on a running container, it automatically starts a docker-exec

This has been my main project for the past week and a half. Things were slow going at first because I was also learning how to use Node.js well (most of my professional development experience is in Python). The interface is simple mostly be

Unfortunately, not all browsers play nice with Video.js/HTML5 video and the SoundCloud widget. If that's you, check out the live stream I'm running right now on Twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/andrewtorkbaker
