Re:An Honest Review of Gatsby on Saturday October 03, 2020 @05:42AM (#24670844)
I think alot of folks share this view. When we switched our marketing site over to Gatsby it was a godsend, but once we hit over 400 static pages on our site, the build times were killing us.

Our devs complained that even on local, building took forever, and because it had to refetch all of our WordPress CMS media library each time, sometimes it would just crash during build.

Also we grew the need for good SEO support for dynamically generated pages (of which we have thousands), and we had to write our own prerendering lambda function to handle bots (and embed tools) that couldnt run js on their own

After Next announced their support for static site generation and the release of next-serverless, we took the next three weeks to get our site ported over and haven't looked back since.

hey nice one will
I second this. For me it seems to happen at very specific times, like 12AM so it leads me to believe it had to do with calendar events. And it always does it a few times in succession.
Re:Slab – Team Wiki and Knowledge Base on Sunday January 05, 2020 @01:32AM (#21960038)
I second this. I've been trying to find some system to organize my teams knowledge base. We tried Slab, Confluence, Notion.

Everyone had so many gripes in the end, we just returned back to using google drive/docs.

Re:Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible on Thursday November 21, 2019 @01:12AM (#21591837)
The WYSIWYG editor on Slack that everyone is hating on is actually Quill-based. And do note that it's always been based on Quill, they just recently added more Blots/Embeds to it.
Re:Baked MacBook Air: A cautionary recipe on Monday April 15, 2019 @10:11AM (#19665407)
I think a heat gun would + tweezers would probably be sufficient enough, however, he'll probably need to reference ifixit images to figure out where things need to go.

I think it's a bit too difficult to hold a heat gun, an infrared thermometer, a set of tweezers and flux, so I would just get a feel by testing it out with some other busted PCB.

I'm not so certain it's for the data. If it were, then I would assume that the pricing would be much more competitive.

I think theres a typo. "A startup’s early and heavily engaged users are it’s only real bse of strength and chance for growth."

Should it be 'base'?

Re:Show HN: Self-generated custom art for your home or Airbnb on Tuesday January 23, 2018 @08:41PM (#16219645)
Could be something like Printful. They have APIs for to order prints and delivery
I think the value of a product like this would only be for first-time buyers since repeat purchasing is straightforward.

I wonder how this would compare with just adding a PayPal payment button in terms of drop off. I always zoom for the PayPal button when buying on a new site that I'd rather not share info with.

Re:New Teams Features on Monday December 11, 2017 @08:18PM (#15902323)
A little off topic but have there been any improvements to the chat experience itself? I tried pushing some of my team to use the chat a few months back but to be honest, the time it took to view and reply messages on iOS was too long and overall reliability was hit or miss.

Not to say your other features aren't great, we are testing out using private git repos for some of our non-essential keys and so far no problem.

Re:Peter Thiel to Donate $1.25M in Support of Donald Trump on Sunday October 16, 2016 @01:27AM (#12717127)
Actually if he loses, he becomes the first investor in a ultra conservative right-wing media empire, Trump Media, which appears to already have quite a large following.
My suggestion is that if you're focused in Chicago, then market this product in...Chicago.

I'd like to rent a tent but I'm in Singapore now...and Boston soon.. So you'll never get a critical mass if it's just alot of people listing things for nobody else.

Focus on a region where you can build up something (i.e. Chicago) with renters and rentees, build buzz up in your region and then scale to other regions.
