I see in their FAQ: > Will PeppyOS be open source? > Yes! PeppyOS will be fully open source under a BSL license before the end of this year. Once the software is mature, everyone will be able to contribute and participate in its devel

Librato was a simple Heroku add-on to view charts of metrics provided in the logs of Heroku.

We used CGI to add support for extensions in Disco ( https://disco.cloud/ ). It's so simple and it can run anything, and it was also relatively easy to have the CGI script run inside a Docker container provided by the ex

It's not super simple, but here's how we did it for a long time: All of your income that's not invested for retirement goes to a joint account, every 1st of the month. From that joint account, you then move the money to many

Transactions can fail because they conflict with other transactions happening at the same time. It's not an application bug. It's real life transactions happening on a production system. It's normal for that to happen all the

For projects where I know the team will remain small (less than let's say 15 developers), I usually push to keep the architecture as simple as possible. I've used something similar in the past, but kept the expiration code in the

USB-C port. Great!

Congratulations for the launch. Definitely a good idea. I'm a developer and personally won't need this, but I'll definitely suggest this when I think this could replace some "real coding".

I opened a support ticket to give my opinion, I suggest you all do the same.

Looks great, just bought the pro version. I tried a few others last week but was not satisfied. Eager to try the remote commands for unit testing and source control.

I must admit it looks oddly similar. We did not see it on Coda site before using it. Not sure of the provenance (I will ask my designer). As smackfu noted, the water drops are not exactly the same. But obviously, since it's very similar, we

I know, you're right. The original texts were written in French and then translated by someone else to English. We certainly have work left to be done in that area. I decided to post it on HN anyway to get feedback ASAP. Thanks for the exam

I must say I'm not the legal expert in this project. I am a developer. One of the co-founders is a lawyer by profession. I just noticed him with your interrogation. From my understanding (again, I'm not speaking as the legal expert), what w

You make it sound like it's totally insecure. Look at all the alternatives, and I am pretty sure we are the more secure. Most still use a fax, which is incredibly insecure (how can you be sure who signed?). Other online solutions either use

You certainly have good points. We try to be different than DocuSign, EchoSign, etc. with the process: no hand-written signature, a secure combination of unique link and unique code, no online contract editing.

You can have a look at the screenshots http://signsquid.com/en/discover-signsquid/ . Also, you can try it for free for one month. Thanks for the comment, we'll certainly discuss the possibility of adding a live demo somewhere.

I can't speak for SignNow.com, but on our side (Signsquid), we decided to ditch completely the hand-written signature, in favor of a better thought process. We use a combination of a unique link, sent by email, and a unique secret code, tol

Hey there. I'm one of the guys that co-founded this project. The main debate here is about the big squid on the home screen. Some say it's too "friendly" for a legal product. What do you think?

I've been practicing Wing Chun for 5 years now, and I must say it's probably the martial art that would suit a programmer mind the best. Very logic, geometric. It's a lot like C. Not so many basic "constructs" (no "batteries included"), but
