Very interesting concept and clear messaging on the website. Eager to test this for personal use. Big fan of BorgBase (the other product by the same company), I have been using them for quite some time for different projects.

In my experience it also depends on the worker type, if you are running sync you might need more workers depending on how much your database can handle. Otherwise the number of workers might limit the total throughput quite severely.

Always interesting to test out a new productivity app in the search of the perfect solution :-) Looks promising! Really like the clean layout. A bit of feedback: (maybe a bug?) when I tried to add new tasks to "Today", tasks added

Yes; gevent does also fix this problem. But it also gives you a lot of new problems when running all requests async. In my experience mostly with views that (in some specific calls, i.e for a specific customer) keep the cpu tied up, for exa

Interesting, will certainly try it out, thanks! > Continuously failing external requests should not make each one of your responses slow. It is not really a matter of the responses becoming slow, the problem is that if you are running sy

Well, if you have external API calls in your Django app and you are running sync (which I would absolutely advice, with running async it is really easy to get an unpredictable performance which is sometimes hard to track down) having the ab

I think the confusion for me was that there is also a pay-per-word price; then for me the limit on the number of phrases does not feel logical. Phrases as tr() calls for me as a developer also depend quite a bit on how I have setup the tran

Very interesting, question: from the pricing page: it is unclear to me what is meant by phrases in the context "100 Phrases" for $99 plan?

Could also be the difference between searching with a clear goal in mind and discovering of new ideas & interests?

This looks really nice, clean & functional. I'm integrating this into my personal website at this moment. Thanks!

I also do not understand the Linked-in notifications at all. They send an e-mail like '5 job changes' which I actually find interesting to learn about. But when I click any of the links this information is nowhere to be found. So

As others replied; it does. But the API does not behave consistent on different brands and API levels. Also some manufacturers cancel alarms when the user swipes away an app (which some users do constantly to keep the recent apps list &quot

We are running a (very niche) platform + app for people with special needs, where accurate and offline alarms are necessary: this is a big problem for us. I think about 1/3 of all our support requests are about the app being killed in

Interesting edge case! This is why it may be sensible to do some extra checks in things like product expiration batch jobs, to check if the previous run was not to far in the future or past and refuse to run in that case. Scary to think wha

Interesting UI; I really like the way you can rearrange things visually in way that makes sense to the user. Was able to get a simple flow up and running quite fast. There are a few rough edges though, had a small issue with the URL field o

It is really fascinating how much the music adds to the experience; it creates an instant atmosphere.

I'm currently working on a similar (hopefully more simple and cheaper) product MetricBoard (direct demo: https://metricboard.io/webui/demo ) Although this currently only let's you push metrics via the API or u

What is cool: you can also see the 3D image without any aids; just by crossing your eyes while looking at the 2 images. This way you can see the tracking in action. Their appears a 3th image in the middle which you need to focus on and on b

I wonder: is EC2 secure enough for this type of credit card store? What if the management layer running the underlying hosts is vulnerable or a XEN zero-day vulnerability shows up? I'm sure Amazon does a lot on securing its infrastruct

I've also experimented a bit with this type of simulation quite some time ago, you can find the result here http://lifesoup.sourceforge.net/ This tries to simulate simple "swimmers" where the fastest survives

The "Hi there ..." box is only displayed in the demo. After you register you start with a completely empty panel which you can then fill with your own blocks. Sorry for the confusion, I'll try to make it more clear :-)

If you like this layout you might also want to try out https://trackpanel.net It lets you display RSS feeds (and bookmarks, tasks and notes) in a similar layout. (Also plugging a side project of mine :-))

Nice concept. Some feedback on the site itself: I'm having trouble reading the text due to the low contrast. (Maybe my monitor isn't setup properly?)

You might want to have a look at https://trackpanel.net , it is a side-project which I have created (and use) for just this purpose.

For this reason I'm using a set of different VPS servers running on both Linode (UK datacenter) and Slicehost (US datacenter). So separate datacenters, admin layer, providers and also important: billing. Running a high available cluster in

I used both some time ago, vps.net didn't support 32bit kernels at that time which could mean less usable memory within the VPS. For this reason I am using 32 bit kernels with linode for small instances.

I'm experimenting with a sort of personal "infopanel" as a side project. The idea is to gather your bookmarks, notes and todos in one place in a drag and drop panel. http://trackpanel.net It's still quite rough and unfinished though, and

It may be better to not hide the button, but to disable it. Hiding buttons in response to application state confuses the user. (Imagine the user searching the screen for the "Clear" button which he or she knows should be there ...)

Shame I didn't know of this editor earlier, although I've been hunting for a perfect editor for quite some time. (Settled on VIM + boatload of plugins, but its far from elegant) I love the clean non distracting interface, ctrl-p is also a k
