Although I read about the supply chain bottlenecks, I don't feel like it's impacted me yet. In fact it feels like there are more "Same Day" options than ever before (Amazon specific, but ditto for in-person shopping else

Is there only one transform option, or could you offer several? That might be a good way of satisfying those who want a very fancy looking image to others who want specific functionality (magnify certain portions of a window, etc).

Help centers, along with "self-service knowledgebases", are just ways of making it harder to find the contact us page.

I agree that SEO has made it harder and harder to find good content on the internet. I don't agree with Google being blamed for this. They're trying desperately to fix the problem. Maybe they're not as effective as you'd

The product seems to hit a really important use case (I have created my own SaaS products in the past, and subs, authenticaation, and permissions are huge PITAs). One suggestion - your homepage copy is very developer oriented and 'feat

This post seems to go into more detail on the technical architecture. I've read a lot of these style posts, and oftentimes the results don't end up being that interesting - but I have to say this post is different. Nice job and go

Agree with many points in this article. However, there are some enterprise software tools (Salesforce for example) that have terrible UIs for both casual and power users, and offer no performance upside despite longer term usage. JIRA used

For Cloudfront, I eventually got it working. The difficult part was figuring out how to get Wordpress to serve the site when it received the request from Cloudfront. By default, it turned into a weird redirect loop. I eventually solved it b

I don't understand the graphic on the left in the first example. Are they wearing a different type of mask that makes the infection rate higher?

Does this use one of the bigger search engines (Bing, Google) as an API, or is it fully custom rolled?

For the mathematically disinclined (such as myself), the total savings are at least $229/mo .. not bad! Curious if you could use Cloudformation to provision these instances and setups? https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/l

The query language here looks eerily similar to what we use for our ORM in Node.js. It's called Sequelize ( https://sequelize.org/ ) -- how does this project compare / what are the main differences?
