1) I am thinking about a web-app for now. 2) eBay's private listings is different. All the users can bid in an eBay auction. In eBay's private listings, just the username is kept confidential. Whereas with my app, only the users invited will be able to bid.

You talked about element of trust/enforcement. The one who is creating the auction is inviting people by their email. So, he will invite only those people who he trusts.

Hello everyone.I have an idea for an app and I am trying to validate the idea. I want to create an app which allows users to hoist a private auction (an English Auction). You create an auction in my app, keep some start time for the auction, you invite other users to participate in your auction by mentioning their email addresses. The auction happens and the highest bidder is decided. The...

Ask HN: Any apps that will allow me to hoist a private auction

I am looking for apps that will allow me to hoist a private auction. I am looking to hoist an English Auction (There will be a starting price and people bid at a higher price than the previous price). I am thinking that I will invite people for my auction by adding their email address.Do you know of any such apps (or similar apps)?

Re:Ask HN: Tools that can notify us when our REST API call fails on Tuesday May 30, 2017 @02:05AM (#14443215)
I went ahead and created a free account in assertible. This is definitely doing what I want (test a simple GET rest api call). I will check further (if it is notifying me when a call fails).

@Others: One minor point to note here is that the free account allows only one hour Scheduled Monitoring, not more frequently.

Re:Ask HN: Tools that can notify us when our REST API call fails on Monday May 29, 2017 @03:29AM (#14437889)
I am using Node.js express. I am not worried about what the actual error is. I will figure out if the tool just tells me that the REST API call is failing.

Regarding POSTing a new user every 5 mins, I will not test such an API call. I will test a simple GET call which does not need any authentication.

So, I am looking for a simple tool that takes my GET API request, calls it every n minutes, and notifies me if the api request fails.

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi,I have just observed that my production REST API calls are failing (timeout or error status codes) even though the server itself is running. I am not sure since when. As I have very limited user base, no one reported the issue.I am looking for tools that test our REST API calls continuously and report to us if those calls start failing. Also, are there any other solutions such that the above...

I will think about it. All the Facebook pages that I have seen post only pictures, not any text (definitely not important text). Can you let me know what type of pages(or which pages) post text?

I assumed that the text is not important. I am showing only the pictures. I wanted to have something like Instagram for Facebook Pages. Do you think the text is important?

I made a web app which allows you to follow facebook pages without actually liking those pages in facebook. This app will allow you to `follow` various facebook pages and it has a `wall` where you will have a PICTURES FEED of the facebook pages that you are following. Will you be interested in trying out this app?

If you do, please share your feedback. Thanks for your time.

I made an android app too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionicframe...

I released the app in Play Store and made a Show HN too. If you can, please try it out and please share your thoughts. Thanks for your time.

2nd dependency, Facebook deciding that the app violates their intent, I never thought it. If Facebook in fact does that, I don't think I can do anything about it.

1st dependency, dependency on mobile devices, yeah, I regret starting with the mobile app. Though this is a hybrid app, considering the time that I can spend on this and my pace, I might take nearly a month to make a web app. And now, I am not sure if I should go ahead and release the Android version, or work on the web app and release web app first. Any suggestions?

As the app is a hybrid app, ready for its release only on Android platform, I am uncertain on how many will actually try it out when posted in Show HN. What do you think?

Hi.Did you ever not like a facebook page just because you were worried that your friends will know about your interest? I believe we need to give users an option to `follow` a page without letting his/her friends know that he/she follows/likes a certain page.I made an app which allows you to follow facebook pages without actually liking those pages in facebook.

Re:Ask HN: Hardest part about preparing for technical interviews? on Thursday October 20, 2016 @02:15AM (#12750062)
Code Monk has helped me a lot in preparing for my technical interviews. It helps you improve your programming skills to the next level. I became efficient in most of the data structures/algorithms after reading through their tutorials and practicing there.

Definitely have a look at this, if you want to improve in the field of data structures for your technical interviews.
