Heyyy you're the one who wrote authlogic! What a blast from the past :) Thank you for your contribution to the Rails community, and congrats on shipping Timber & Vector!

I've been in touch with Grammarly as well [1]. I work for a publishing platform with thousands of writers, editors and contributors. It was very difficult to tell people they can't use Grammarly :/

Reminds me of MTR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_(software)

A super useful tool for debugging why a client has trouble accessing a website.

That's actually what we did. From pilbox's docs: > It is not intended to be the primary source of images, but instead acts as a proxy which requests images and resizes them as desired.

We fetched from S3 on-the-fly while caching the generated image using a CDN we already had at hand. This is a band-aid for the night (we're in India, it's 2 AM here) and not for handling daytime traffic. We're obviously hoping imgix will fix their issues in the next several hours. Even if not, at least our customers get a degraded experience than a broken one.

We put it behind Fastly. We could have used Cloudflare too, but we were racing against time (and angry customers!). We set the cache timeout to 1 hour, and that's pretty much it.

We use Imgix to power all our clients' images. We just deployed https://github.com/agschwender/pilbox on production as a replacement. We had to hack around a few things, and clearly not as performant, but at least it works.

Ugh. Thin, low-contrast, unreadable typography.
