I seem to experience troubles like that with any kind of Bluetooth devices. E.g., sometimes they don't connect or disconnect or lag. At this point, I am suspicious of the entire Bluetooth technology. The same is with WiFi actually: it

One popular tech site in Russian was invite-only for a very long time: https://habr.com I remember you could get in by someone inviting you or if you wrote a good guest post (there was a separate area for this kind of guest post

Yes, it was from this book I believe. Also found this http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/RP03-... where it seems like retail prices where relatively stable at that time.

I think I have read somewhere that inflation in the end of the 17th - first half of 18th century was almost zero or there was even a deflation. I may be wrong. Maybe someone has a good source?

If I'd drive a car, which is a dangerous thing on its own, I'd be for minimizing the risks of harming someone or myself. My current mitigation of this risk is not driving a car at all.

The API gateway quotas look broken for me. I raised the limit to 5000 keys but it looks like the standard limit of 500 applies. Which is strange because I have more than 500 API keys...

I kind of agree, and I think nowadays it's hard to promote a product on the Internet or even get noticed without putting a lot of effort. When the Internet was smaller, I guess it's been easier. Off-topic: the author's produc

So you are saying, basically, if there was Unix why do we have Windows since no one asked for it. On the positive side, running your own website or a forum is now easier than ever. I think more people should do it.

I feel the entire post is missing the two main points: 1) No one would bother creating these free services if they could not draw massive revenue streams out of it. If the returns disappear, it'd all be shut down. 2) If you create cont

It's not yet ready to be shared in the form of screenshots. It will be a simple layout with the feeds list in a collapsible menu on the left-hand side and the list of posts on the right-hand side. When you navigate to post details, you

Actually, I am working an RSS reader app with built-in discussions and Google Reader was a great inspiration for me. I still use RSS readers as a primary way of aggregating content. Leave your email if it'd like to be notified once I h

I think comments provide value everywhere where there is a community. If you don't have a community around your website and only random strangers visit it, it won't offer considerable value. Although I cannot say that I have a com

Cool! Did you consider the pay-per-use model instead of a fixed monthly subscription?

I match the model, not the price. I don't think you can make a profit from people who pay and don't use. Such people typically don't subscribe. Generally, the project is none-free and low-margin and that is what makes it inte

Thanks for the questions! 1. I wanted to build an embedded comment system which is not monetized by selling user data or serving ads and which has a fair pricing model. By "fair" I mean that you pay what you consume without non-tr

Thanks, I will fix the broken links :-) The tech is completely hosted on AWS, and it is entirely "serverless". So the core is using the API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB. Additionally, I use Kinesis Firehose + S3 to process internal

The computations can get a bit complicated. Basically, one pageview costs $0.000015. So if you have a thousand pageviews, it's $0.015. On the pricing page ( https://just-comments.com/pricing.html ) I have an example of 2

It would be cool if you could add a "Deploy to Heroku" button or similar. Or at least screenshots. I think it would be nice to see how the UI looks like.

Thanks for the link to your system. Is there a demo instance somewhere? Yeah, emails are quite expensive. AWS itself charges $100 per 1 million plus additional infrastructure to manage subscriptions + email validation & dealing with bou
