I would pick whichever stack that I would be most productive in. A Laravel app hosted with Laravel Vapor (AWS Lambda) with a MariaDB database. Would allow me to get up and running quickly, at low cost and without having to worry about scali

Neat! I built something similar a while ago, to scratch my own itch. It's just using text messages instead of a dedicated app (for good or for worse). It's funny how similar the domain name is. https://nudge.sh https:

We got ~175 bare metal dedicated servers for maximum performance within our infrastructure. We also have a separate instance of our SaaS running on AWS in the “cloud” for security and compliance reasons.

I'm a huge fan of Drone CI. Loads of customization options, and a simple, powerful UI. Easy to self-host and scale as docker containers. https://www.drone.io

That’s a super cool concept, but doesn’t this fall a bit under “security by obscurity”?

We're doing something similar, requiring email verification in certain cases based on past traffic, ip address source, etc. Unfortunately, we had to straight up block known temporary email addresses because there was too much abuse.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I've considered checking the User Agent and rendering pretty-printed JSON if e.g. a webbrowser is used, but I am a bit worried that UA-dependent behavior could be confusing. Perhaps the downside to alwa

I like to think that we’re doing okay with geocod.io, but I would seriously love some feedback. Should we automatically generate your first API key? Make docs more prominent? Anything else?

I've never experienced this within my 10+ years of working with SQLite. I've seen it a fair bunch with MariaDB though.

Really interesting write-up. Curious how they do logging, and how they were able to get such a detailed look at the previous requests, including the HTTP response. Wouldn’t it be a massive amount of data if all HTTP requests/responses

This looks really cool! I recently built something similar, but for notifying you via text message instead. Example: ./some_script.sh; curl https://nudge.sh/YOUR_TOKEN Just need to register your phone number at nudge.s

Awesome! That’s great to hear. Hope this can help them out.

I think that is the ideal situation too. Closing down grocery stores and allowing no-touch curbside pickup (or delivery) only. I don't quite know what the economics of this is like though, and if it is a viable option across the board.

Yes indeed! Feel free to check it out here https://github.com/MiniCodeMonkey/curbside

Hi there! Absolutely. This is why we are explicitly focusing on curbside pickup rather than delivery. It is not about snatching slots as soon as they become available, but more about being able to check across dozens of stores at the same t

Hi HN! We realized that curbside pickups is a great compromise for everybody's health and safety right now. We built Curb Run because we found it very difficult to get a curbside pickup slot at our local Wegmans. Willing to drive a bit

Love the idea of alternative notification targets. The idea was to make the API curl as simple and short as possible, to the point where you could probably memorize it. Would be trivial to then add additional notification targets server-sid

Great read! I recently read Bill Kilday’s book: Never lost again[1] which is a fantastic read if you want to learn more about the pre-google-maps and google earth days. [1]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062673041
