In the words of Alibaba's Jack Ma: “ If we go to work at 8am and go home at 5pm, this is not a high tech company and Alibaba will never be successful...If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat ten of them

I tried a few charting libraries including Chart.js, Taucharts and D3. Much of Taucharts is undocumented, Chart.js requires a lot of configuration for something like a mixed chart with stacked bars, and D3, yikes. Its API documentation is t

Thanks for engaging, and hats off for a solid product. Regarding costs, the quota was hit pretty quickly due to the trial and error of deciding the best way to structure my data so likely a once off spike in DB reads. But good to know I can

Almost. The preview page is here - https://mooon.club - and should be live before the end of the week. Tech-wise it's Vue.js and Highcharts on the front-end, Firestore on the back, and Zeit now/Firebase functions doin

Firestore next please. For the 'indie' developer, Firebase is a gift. By way of example, I (re)started building an app that tracks anomalies in cryptocurrency volume at the weekend. By building on Firebase (Auth, FireStore, Functi

Hey, excuse the late reply on this. Someone answered for me though: "Build something that people are already paying for". In the world of software, there's almost always room for better so I'd change that slightly to &qu

But you did think of it. Q: "Why would you sell something for 5 euro when people are happily paying 10?" A: "We'd make a killing!" From what you've written it seems the customers are not happily paying €10. Th
