At some point off time, if you use it for something, would love to know how you used it.

Show HN: Build an Internal Alternative to Airplane.dev

https://github.com/IMGears/microlight

Airplane.dev shut down recently. We had a bit of workload on airplane where, as a manufacturing company (https://imgearsindia.com/), we wanted some scripts to be executed on demand by non-technical staff and some scripts to be run remotely on schedule. Some of the scripts needed inputs from the user as well, most often files of the days output from the factory etc.Airplane did a lot of stuff...

Yes..
k8s is a meme for wasted engineering resource - yup agree.. not so much with argonaut. Was on EBS for the longest period of time.
We were on beanstalk before.
We at cashflowy.io has been using argonaut for a while now. As a single person dev team, I did not have the time luxury to deal with kubernetees and also handle customer support/business development etc. Wanted the flexibility of kubernetees but did not want the full kubernetees overhead being a small startup. Argonaut has worked out really well for us.

Ask HN: Would you find an accounting service for individuals valuable

Hi, I am building an open source accounting tool here - https://github.com/alexjv89/cashflowy as a solution to my accounting needs as a professional software consultant.Recently I have been listening to productize podcast by @briancasel and I am definitely influenced by it. I figured that Cashflowy as a product will take some time to get to a polished state. While it does, I can offer...

"Cities and Ambition" is not mentioned as much as the other ones(about ~1000 times). It does have an MTS score of 9.9 though.

haha, thanks :)

Yeah, within startup realm, his insights are killer. Outside not so much.
Re:Semantic UI on Tuesday April 11, 2017 @12:40PM (#14089787)
We use semantic-ui at Highlyreco (https://www.highlyreco.com). Semantic is a CSS framework that we absolutely love. Cant recommend it enough. Semantic made it possible for 2 developers(non of us are front end focus engineers) to build out a fairly complex ui at Highlyreco. Semantic gives us the ability to iterate really fast on UI.

We probably would not exist without semantic. For earlier projects I used to use bootstrap. My opinion is that Bootstrap is good for designing landing pages and semantic is good for building user interface pages.

Re:Semantic UI on Tuesday April 11, 2017 @12:26PM (#14089639)
I dont agree with this. Just because semantic(or any other tool) does not work for you does not mean it should not exists. Semantic is a massive time saver as a small team trying to build a functional product, where the team cant afford to have a pure front end focused developer. As a 2 person team, I can get a lot of functional product out with Semantic. I would recommend semantic any day.

It might not work for you, but like I said, it does not mean it should not exist. Thats me trying to defend a framework that I absolutely worship.

Thats weird, we build something. Someone posted it, and we were made makers pretty quickly.. I guess every time a system fails, it does turn a couple of people away. I would had similar feeling if we were not made makers immediately.
