Just out of interest, is this a US based product? I'm in Australia and most of the major banks have this as a built-in capability in their apps.

I have friends in the Abingdon area and the primary objection, from what they've told me, is that locals objected to a reservoir that would mainly be used to supply London. Little Englanders at their worst.

I invested in Small Robots Co ( https://smallrobotco.com/ ) who were doing something similar. They had a good product, good brand, raised some funding, and were starting to get traction, with robots in trials on a number of f

That's what I was concerned about. They're all charging $29-$99 to list on them and there's a risk that they harm my SEO. Good point about timing. Sometimes I forget we live in the future here :-)

4 year old Lenovo laptop here, 16GB RAM and SSD. Bootup from cold is around 5-seconds, everything is pretty snappy even with lots of browser tabs open and VSCode running. Never had the start menu lag other people have reported. Definitel

I'm building SiteSentry: https://sitesentry.app It checks your website for the kind of things that get missed when you go from dev to production or can go wrong later - expired domains and SSL certs, broken links, robot opt

Every proposal I have seen kicks in after $100m. That's a level of wealth where even paying a 5% tax is likely to result in an annual net increase in wealth, as when you have that amount of money to invest achieving 5%+ returns is not

Shameless plug - StaticForms ( https://staticforms.co ). It's not free because I want it to be sustainable, but also because it does more than just capture form data and send you an email. You might not need more than that, b

I've been using this a lot recently and love it. Fast, simple and VueJS-based so easy to extend.

I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so Application Insights gives me most of the server monitoring, but you make a good point about checking 3rd party services that I have dependencies on and tracking license expiration dates, which I have

That post makes really interesting reading. I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so I'm hoping they have a lot of that stuff covered, but I guess I need to dive in and make sure.

I think an RSS feed would be great too. I use Digg Reader and just headlines, or headlines and key facts (revenue, founders, etc.) would be fine.

Depending on the nature of the application, you may be able to sign up for Microsoft's BizSpark program. That includes $160 of credit for Azure per month for three years. That would be more than enough to host your application on eit

I like this idea in principle but I struggle with the idea of charging someone to use an experiment. My personal feeling is that once you take someone's money you have an obligation but, until you hit some level of scale, you may not

My concern is that whilst they think they are doing their job, the people paying them don't think they are doing it well enough or doing enough of it to value it. I'm seeing more and more development jobs off-shored or out-source

I agree, curiosity and passion are something you either have or you don't. As an industry we need to improve our capabilities and continuously demonstrate our value and a subset who are lacking or have outdated skills risks influencin

I totally agree with you - for many programmers, programming is just a job. And I'm not saying that's wrong, but I work with a lot of these developers and my issue / concern is that they are not actually very good at their j
