Re:Organizations can now block abusive users on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @01:13AM (#11428004)
Would be great to have some transparency, perhaps a "# of users banned in this repo". That'd be one way to see where the balance of "abuse" lies, with the repo/org or the contributors. In other words, another indicator for health of the community, just like # of stars, forks, contributors, and watchers.
Re:Ask HN: Do You Want a Fastlane-centric CI Service? on Monday February 08, 2016 @05:17PM (#11061270)
"fastlane lets you define and run your deployment pipelines for different environments. It helps you unify your app’s release process and automate the whole process. fastlane connects all fastlane tools and third party tools, like CocoaPods and Gradle." directly from the horses mouth https://fastlane.tools/

I'm obviously a fan.

It's a Ruby-based DSL that wraps a collection of small CLI tools to define the entire workflow. It can handle most aspects out-of-box like building, signing, taking a snapshot, pushing, etc. It appears to be extensible too, but I haven't tried that much yet.

Re:Web Socket Hook: A bridge between web hooks and web sockets on Thursday February 12, 2015 @03:18AM (#9037944)
We fixed the XSS issue. Having said that, this site is just to demonstrate that you can use any standard web socket client (including the one in your browser); normally you would build the XSS mitigation into the client app if necessary.

What scenario do you have in mind for a "pub-sub pattern using WS"?

It might not be the scenario we were shooting for. The HTTP endpoint was an important requirement. We needed a way to receive HTTP POST calls in an app which wasn't accessible from the web (i.e. no incoming HTTP, but we could make an outbound WS call). Something like Runscope's Passageway (https://www.runscope.com/docs/passageway) would have been our first choice, but it wasn't easy to bake it into the app itself.

Creating apps that respond to web hooks but are not directly accessible from the internet.
Re:Announcing iOS and Android Support on Wednesday December 17, 2014 @01:55PM (#8763644)
Would love to see the API support a POST for creating a new build and passing in the project code (or slug url). This would enable the other git providers (Gitlab, BitBucket, Gogs, etc) and 3rd party services/frameworks (e.g. Factor.io) to provide the integration.
Re:Runbook – DevOps, automated on Tuesday December 02, 2014 @05:26PM (#8690430)
I can't speak for others, but I can for Factor.io’s twist... (1) It is Open Source + Hosted + Pro. (2) The recipes ("workflows") can include multiple steps, sequential, and parallel activities; not just limited to if-this-then-that. (3) Workflows are defined programmatically using a Ruby-DSL. (4) You can create both actions and listeners (like events/monitors), though some of the others support this too. (5) It's been around for 2+ years, built with feedback from 100+ dev teams, and used by 1000s.

Re:Stamplay: IFTTT for developers on Monday October 06, 2014 @09:11AM (#8415653)
https://factor.io/

Factor.io is open-source, there is a hosted version, and self-hosted Pro version.

http://docs.factor.io/

Those are the open-source docs. The project has been around for well over a year; however, it was open sourced only a couple months ago.

Re:Laravel Forge – PHP Platforms On Linode, DigitalOcean, AWS, Rackspace on Monday May 19, 2014 @10:01AM (#7767423)
In the mean time you can use https://factor.io/ for "push-to-deploy" with BitBucket or Gitlab.
Re:The engine for Git push in Azure and for your own server on Friday May 16, 2014 @03:00PM (#7757279)
Have a look at https://factor.io, it is also a deployment engine which can deploy from Github, Bitbucket, etc to your servers (e.g. SCP). It's also much easier to setup. Additionally you can add an intermediate build step with static gen frameworks like Middleman.
Re:Static Site Generators on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @10:42PM (#7747650)
Something similar: http://staticgen.com/

Same idea, but staticgen.com is a little easier to navigate but don't think it's quite as comprehensive.

Re:UltraHook – Receive webhooks while behind a firewall on Tuesday July 16, 2013 @12:52PM (#6053066)
Years back I worked on the Azure Service Bus (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/...) which has a feature called "Relay". Except in the MS case its way more complicated and .NET-specific. Cool stuff.
Re:Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users on Wednesday July 03, 2013 @07:40PM (#5988217)
Good feedback. We are running A/B tests on some of the contents. Regardless I don't think we answer the basic question "what does Factor.io do?"
Re:Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users on Tuesday July 02, 2013 @03:53PM (#5980321)
Factor.io might be a good fit for you. I am the co-founder/CEO and I hate self promoting, but in this case I think that we can help. We provide a way for you to create workflows like the one you described. It's kind of like IFTTT/Zapier for Dev/DevOps. But we support running numerous actions, custom code for new extensions, and more complex operations. Still in private beta, but would love to help out and get you to test it out. Shoot me an email [email protected].
Re:Microsoft open sources C++ REST SDK "Casablanca" on Wednesday February 27, 2013 @02:14AM (#5291103)
Back in the day (~4 yrs ago) there was a project called "Casablanca" at Microsoft which was supposed to be the native (C/C++) version of the Windows Communication Foundation. Is this the same "Casablanca"?
