I implemented it in Go code: https://gist.github.com/alfonmga/50864730c3ebce7491542d146ed....

Cheers, mate.

I needed to generate realistic-looking identities; the person's photo must match the gender, same for the age, the skin color of the person must correspond with the origin of the surname, the first name should be common in the targeted country, and the residential address must be real, among other things.

You would not use this for test data btw, a common use case for this would be for marketing or spamming operations where you need realistic data. My consciense does not accept the later however ;-)

P.S. Nowadays, these fake data generators are too woke to provide genderized first names..

That's true. I recently had more success in two months of working on one-off products than in 2-3 years of working on SaaS projects.

If you're concerned about injecting third-party scripts into your website, you can use FullAnalytic's Zero Trust solution [1] to minimize risks.

But hopefully, with some of our features like dedicated proxy domains [0], FullAnalytics can prevail for some time :-)

FullAnalytics is a fully managed solution to prevent third-party website scripts like Google Analytics, Segment, Meta Pixel, and others [0] from being blocked by ad blockers. Depending on the industry FullAnalytics can recover up to 40% of previously blocked analytics data [1]. To enable FullAnalytics on your website, you only need to add a JavaScript snippet to your website's HTML code. That's all.

If you have any questions, please let me know here or by email at [email protected].

P.S. We don't like ads and annoying popups too. We want to help those who rely on analytics data (e.g., page views) to make decisions.

I could say that we do that at a high level, but as SaaS for our clients. You can't expect the average person to set up and manage 3 servers (HA) on GCP to get everything running.

> The only way to really achieve this is running analytics through the same domain the users are visiting, best as a path. I suspect this is where the market will go if ad blockers become to pervasive

That's right.

Nowadays, I'm back to Docker Swarm and loving it. It seems you did something similar before for Docker Swarm [1] btw, nice ;-)

You can take steps for stricter compliance with CCPA, such as: implementing IP anonymization, disabling data sharing, displaying a cookie consent banner on your site, reviewing PII collected and honoring user data access/deletion requests..etc.

Anyways, it is too early for this service to dig into this legal stuff. I prefer to focus on building at this moment.

getfullanalytics.com is in a pre-beta state, and we plan to release the beta for everybody in the next few days. I just wanted to share it with you all here on HN ;-)

Back in the days when I didn't use one, it was a miserable developer experience. Thanks to Go and his great decision of having unit testing built into their standard now writing tests and debugging them is a joy.

Far are the days of not using a debugger because the programing language of choice didn't treat debuggers/unit testing as a first-class citizen. I could say that now I sleep a lot better thanks to coding my backends on Go and having the confidence that I can go as much depth as I want to fix any bug.

Debugging for me is an automatic action like drinking water when you're thirsty; two clicks (set breakpoint and click the debug button) and I'm back into the debugger, again.

It was enabled by default. I just disabled it and now the experience is much better! Cheers, mate.

I just finished the first one: hodlbitcoin[0] – a simple website to visualize your Bitcoin holdings value over time. It is powered by an SQLite3 embedded database, WASM (WebAssembly) SQLite client, and one GitHub Action (every day at 00:00 UTC it runs to fetch the Bitcoin price and insert it into the SQLite database). The code is open source and the README contains more info of the technologies I used [1]

I frequently receive emails from anonymous persons asking for help and even some of them are willing to pay me to set up it for them… so you can imagine what these last ones are using it for.
