Can second to that, love my moonlander!

However, I feel it's like configuring VIM - mixed feelings with the defaults but once you set everything "your way", then there's no way back.

I couldn't believe how ergonomic tmux key bindings can be with moonlander's magic.

Hey, that's a great idea (to have lots of components for different CSS frameworks)!

Though it wouldn't benefit herotofu / would be unrelated sto the project so I doubt that it'll happen :)

Hey HN,

I'm heavily dogfooding myself with all my ideas. So while using my last project [0] noticed that there's yet another problem - I have to rebuild web forms over and over again.

Often forms on various websites are not identical but very similar.

I'm not talking about fancy user experiences but relatively simple forms to collect essential data.

So decided to tackle this with some free web form templates [1]:

* Each form supports Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap 4 & 5, Bulma, Foundation, and Materialize.

* Each form has Dark & Light themes.

* Each form can be adjusted live with a dynamic code preview.

* It can be integrated into your project, or you can use built-in forms backend. This way, you'll also solve the forms submission/data storage problem with almost zero lines of coding.

In total, I've got 216 form variants!

It's all for free, even for commercial projects. Attribution is nice but not required!

Re:Ask HN: What database should I use for analytics data? on Sunday November 03, 2019 @06:47AM (#21433331)
I've built some dedicated analytics systems handling billions of events per month on the past, here are my comments:

1. Always know your limits. PG is impressive even on a large scale, so I would suggest you clone your existing database server and fill it with dummy data. After this, check how well it performs and when it breaks. Who knows, maybe you can live 5x the traffic with your current setup.

2. I can personally recommend checking HBase[0] and thinking about OLAP[1] based analytics. The relational version of OLAP is very good, but it's not very scalable. However, you can build it on top of a NoSQL solution (like HBase) as I did in the past. It was very robust and performant.

3. Lastly, it doesn't matter which database you select, as long as you understand how it works and know its limits. But generally, you might want to move away from relational databases as they're not designed to deal with massive datasets (although, you always can shard).

Ask HN: What's Wrong with Google Analytics?

Hello, recently I've relaunched my SaaS [1] which is 90% based on Google Analytics API. When I'm trying to market it or talk with different people about it, many of them are either running away from Google Analytics or recently replaced it with another software.I don't see any objective reasons to do that, apart from today cliché, that Google is evil. Am I missing something big?[1]...

Re:Ask HN: How has your experience with AWS Lambda been? on Saturday March 10, 2018 @02:42AM (#16557588)
That's a great list of gotchas, could you specify some main reasons why you'd still choose lambda with so many small issues vs "traditional" hosting?
You should check adonisjs as whole mvc framework is heavily inspired by laravel/ror it should look very familiar to you.

Re:Show HN: Donate your CPU time for Charity on Friday September 29, 2017 @02:48AM (#15363295)
Hello, yes of course you're always do better by donating to Charities/NGOs directly. The whole intention is to use this tool just as an additional way to help.
Many small and bigger adventures like:

https://github.com/ziogas/cmdwrap - Command line/shell wrapper to a web interface. Basically forward any shell command to a nodejs-bootstrap powered web input and track its output.

https://github.com/ziogas/easyembed - Micro framework optimized for embedding small independent apps into legacy php systems.

https://github.com/ziogas/PHP-Redis-implementation - Php redis wrapper focused into simplicity with almost zero abstractions and future-proof.

https://github.com/ziogas/pomodoro-must - Google Chrome extension helping you to stay in pomodoro mode.

https://www.statsglitch.com/ - Receive notifications from Google Analytics whenever happened statistically significant spike or drop in your traffic.

Years ago I've created embeddable A/B testing platform (but only for PHP projects). It's super simple to implement and relevant to your wish http://www.binpress.com/app/multivariate-ab-testing-for-php/...
Hello,

Recently I've tried (again) to force myself into pomodoro flow and couldn't find the timer which satisfies my need: 1. to be able to assign pomodoros into projects. 2. to have annoying notifications that would remember me to re-start the timer again. So this google chrome browser extension [1] completely solve this by constantly reappearing in case timer not found. Extension utilizes brilliant tomato.es [2] system and is fully open sourced on github [3]. I hope it could be useful for someone else too!

Thank you for your feedback, I'll fix those places. Clickpost seems to be nice project and idea, good luck with it!
Yes indeed, there are lots of ways to represent/combine the data to actually create something valuable. Even for experienced users.

I would be interested to hear more about your project when it launches

No, right now I don't have too much to brag about :)
Re:Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell? on Thursday March 23, 2017 @07:46AM (#13938928)
https://www.statsglitch.com - SASS, which allow you to detect Google Analytics anomalies, traffic rise / drop and makes beautiful and grouped daily alerts. You can select what exact metrics to track, confidence interval and a few more custom stuff. Successfully used by a few people (including myself), now don't have much time/knowledge in marketing.

Nice and fast tool. However there would be cool to have some sort of inline edit for quick headlines tweaking

Re:How to abuse HTTP on Thursday June 04, 2015 @08:48AM (#9658836)
Another good abuse example is setting weird cache related headers. For example caching the same 5xx page with response code 200 whenever on the browser or proxy engines like varnish
