Swell is a headless, API-first ecommerce platform that many of our users would describe as an a modern alternative to Shopify. I'm the CEO/co-founder at here, and want to give cred…

Thanks @tejasmanohar! It's been a great personal journey and now global team effort to get Swell here. For the HN community, what really makes Swell interesting is that it's build …

You just need to eat less. A lot less than you expect and a lot less than you hear about from traditional diet advice.

I think we solved the common issues with REST for Schema ( https://schema.io ) in a way that makes it really nice for developing web apps. For example, to include related resources…

Glad to hear that! For the time being we recommend using the HTTP endpoint with `requests` for python. The official python client will take some time longer because we haven't seen…

We've been using TokuMX for a while and I highly recommend others take a serious look there. It already contains the benefits cited for MongoDB 3 and more. Toku also has a release …

Once again, a TokuMX engineer steps up to explain issue and offer a potential solution. I can't help but wonder why MongoDB engineers aren't doing this. But no matter, just glad we…

Governments create and enforce laws, so they must be held accountable for them. If the government didn't have such discretionary power, lobbying would not be a thing at all. I don'…

Go create such a system, make it easy to use and widely available, and then you might have room to say such things with some credibility.

I need a better introduction to understand how flow programming works, and how I might use it. Instead I see a (seemingly) complex graph which I understand represents a program, bu…

New VWO UI looks amazing. Great work on it.

TokuMX solves most of the issues you describe without compromising on the query language or other great mongo features. If you are interested in mongo but concerned about these iss…

Yes, initially

I can offer advice and code in relation to building custom ecommerce platforms with mongodb and nodejs. I am looking for design feedback and ideas for a pre public beta SaaS produc…
