#62Question for the HN crowd - seems like people doing any sort of self promotion on these types of questions inevitably get downvoted. Is there a stated rule against it or is it just generally not appreciated?

Hey, the end of your logo is clipped on Firefox:
I tried it with a totally clean Firefox and with Chromium (both Linux) - Chromium is fine, Firefox is clipped.

There are some situations where a well crafted Ask or Show HN would qualify as self promotion. I'm not a moderator so I don't know how the rules are interpreted day to day.

#67Hosting: DigitalOcean Emails: Mailchimp (marketing), Sendgrid (transactional) Development: Github, Bitbucket, Trello Payments: Stripe (I've seen people try to cheap out on payments gateways, it's always a big, costly mistake. Choose a good one) I have a question to people using things like CloudFlare, S3 etc. for early stage apps and MVP's: why?
Cloudflare = free/cheap global CDN, free worker, and free WAF.
Also: As a member of the Bandwidth Alliance, DigitalOcean waives egress fees to transfer data to Cloudflare, effectively creating a zero-cost data bridge from DigitalOcean to Cloudflare's global network.

#68I recommend my own self-hosted analytics tool (I know, right...), https://userTrack.net
It has everything you need to quickly iterate over your website (analytics, segments, heatmaps, session recordings and, coming soon: A/B tests). Privacy benefits aside, I think it's way faster to have everything in one dashboard instead of having to go to Google Analytics, than to Hotjar than to some other tool.

Stackshare doesn't let me browse many pages without logging in, Pinterest style :(
I checked some random tools, the content is a bit...thin.
Overall a good resource, I just wish they had deeper content
