    Very interesting concept and clear messaging on the website. Eager to test this for personal use. Big fan of BorgBase (the other product by the same company), I have been using the…

    In my experience it also depends on the worker type, if you are running sync you might need more workers depending on how much your database can handle. Otherwise the number of wor…

    Always interesting to test out a new productivity app in the search of the perfect solution :-) Looks promising! Really like the clean layout. A bit of feedback: (maybe a bug?) whe…

    Yes; gevent does also fix this problem. But it also gives you a lot of new problems when running all requests async. In my experience mostly with views that (in some specific calls…

    Interesting, will certainly try it out, thanks! > Continuously failing external requests should not make each one of your responses slow. It is not really a matter of the responses…

    Well, if you have external API calls in your Django app and you are running sync (which I would absolutely advice, with running async it is really easy to get an unpredictable perf…

    I think the confusion for me was that there is also a pay-per-word price; then for me the limit on the number of phrases does not feel logical. Phrases as tr() calls for me as a de…

    Very interesting, question: from the pricing page: it is unclear to me what is meant by phrases in the context "100 Phrases" for $99 plan?

    Could also be the difference between searching with a clear goal in mind and discovering of new ideas & interests?

    This looks really nice, clean & functional. I'm integrating this into my personal website at this moment. Thanks!

    I also do not understand the Linked-in notifications at all. They send an e-mail like '5 job changes' which I actually find interesting to learn about. But when I click any of the …

    As others replied; it does. But the API does not behave consistent on different brands and API levels. Also some manufacturers cancel alarms when the user swipes away an app (which…

    Comment #18902059

    We are running a (very niche) platform + app for people with special needs, where accurate and offline alarms are necessary: this is a big problem for us. I think about 1/3 of all …

    Interesting edge case! This is why it may be sensible to do some extra checks in things like product expiration batch jobs, to check if the previous run was not to far in the futur…

    Interesting UI; I really like the way you can rearrange things visually in way that makes sense to the user. Was able to get a simple flow up and running quite fast. There are a fe…

    It is really fascinating how much the music adds to the experience; it creates an instant atmosphere.

    I'm currently working on a similar (hopefully more simple and cheaper) product MetricBoard (direct demo: https://metricboard.io/webui/demo ) Although this currently only let's you …

    What is cool: you can also see the 3D image without any aids; just by crossing your eyes while looking at the 2 images. This way you can see the tracking in action. Their appears a…

    I wonder: is EC2 secure enough for this type of credit card store? What if the management layer running the underlying hosts is vulnerable or a XEN zero-day vulnerability shows up?…

    The "Hi there ..." box is only displayed in the demo. After you register you start with a completely empty panel which you can then fill with your own blocks. Sorry for the confusi…

    If you like this layout you might also want to try out https://trackpanel.net It lets you display RSS feeds (and bookmarks, tasks and notes) in a similar layout. (Also plugging a s…

    Nice concept. Some feedback on the site itself: I'm having trouble reading the text due to the low contrast. (Maybe my monitor isn't setup properly?)

    You might want to have a look at https://trackpanel.net , it is a side-project which I have created (and use) for just this purpose.

    For this reason I'm using a set of different VPS servers running on both Linode (UK datacenter) and Slicehost (US datacenter). So separate datacenters, admin layer, providers and a…
