Problems with Environment Variables

I started thinking that the purpose of environment variables is lost or changed. I saw it's getting used for, - Enabling/Disabling functionality - Storing credentials - System defaults etc.The main problems with environment variables are, - Hard to maintain (familiar with secret management tools) - Updated only on startup or compile of applicationDo you guys also face these problems?

Re:Benefits with CSV Excel Import Experience on Saturday May 25, 2024 @08:18AM (#40474511)
Happy to share the benefits Readymade CSV Excel Import Experience brings to any product.

Talked about not just monetary benefits but operational benefits too.

The best way will be to ask users.

Your product will be appealing because your users are trying to pay and others are paying already.

For missed checkouts, you can open a popup asking why they are canceling.

Keeping it a one-click option selected will increase the odds of user answers. With options like Either they think pricing is high or missing a feature etc.

Nice Idea, looking forward to using its API in my application.

I've used https://github.com/xpublisher/weasyprint-rest for a many years but now planning to switch from it as it's archived by the maintainer.

All the best for the future of htmldocs.

Is it opensource? I'm willing to contribute.

We have seen that the ability to import data is often needed in the application. It usually starts the same, reading a .csv or .xlsx file and inserting records into the database.

But after a while, managing file types, validation, mapping, and meeting requirements becomes a headache for Developers/PMs.

So, We would love your thoughts or feedback on how much Data Import functionality costs you.

As a reward for submitting a response, you will get:
