Re:Apache ECharts 6 New Features on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @10:18AM (#44798272)
We did for ContentStudio.io, in fact it’s my go to library for every project that involves visualization.

No regrets and we are very happy with it.

In another project, we started with nivo.rocks and eventually migrated everything to echarts. (Usermaven)

Re:AWS us-east-1 down on Tuesday June 13, 2023 @03:20PM (#36315487)
Netlify is down as well. https://www.netlifystatus.com
Usermaven.com does the same and covers product insights as well. Free tier is pretty generous (1M events per month).
You can use Usermaven.com. It’s a privacy friendly web analytics and product insights solution.

I'll recommend Buddy.works

We recently migrated from Codeship to Buddyworks and I could not say how much happier we are with their platform.

Features:

- Great support, integrates with all of the popular platforms.

- If you are deploying to K8, you have the UI option to select a cluster, containers, etc. and the code will be shipped there. (say goodbye to bash scripts etc)

- Parallel builds, if you have a microservice or similar architecture where you need to ship code in parallel, you can self-host using Enterprise license that starts with $170 and can get up to 20 builds in parallel. (Same thing on SaaS would cost you nearly $1000+ or maybe more.

- You can get on-prem solution up and running within 30 minutes.

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to learn copywriting? on Monday January 01, 2018 @01:20PM (#16047223)
Read letters from Gary Halbert, John Carlton and Jay Abraham. All 3 are the legends when it comes to direct response copywriting.

Other than that, you can check VSLs from Frank Kern, Chris Hadad and Ryan Deiss.

Also, check out swiped.co, you will find best ad copies/sales letter over there sorted by categories.

Here is a brief overview of what you need to do:

1. Use nltk to get all the nouns etc. from the topic.

2. You can use LDA/TF-IDF (gensim) for your questions to extract the most common topic.

3. Use cosine similarity once you have the corpus built to tag a question to the right category.

Look into gensim for more details for the topic modeling.

Betalist.com, betapage.co, and getworm.com

Betalist takes time approx. 2-3 months, so you should submit your product right now so that when you are done polishing it more, your product will be live there.

And, if you get enough upvotes on betalist, you will have good amount of sign ups for your platform.

After that you need to engage with them to get the maximum feedback for your platform.

Just to add a few more information to your answer.

Laravel + Mix will help you in getting started with single page app using Vuejs.

For the jobs, you can monitor them using Laravel + Horizon just like Sidekiq monitoring dashboard.

Also, in laravel 5.6, bootstrap 4 will be added as a preset.
