I think it's right for this to sit at the browser layer to have a human in the loop.

Built a small free widget that is a ChatGPT-powered search bar for your site. You can use it on your blog, guides, docs, and resources pages.It crawls and indexes your site and then answers search queries with questions using your site content as a source. It even references the source material so visitors can dig deeper.It also has memory so you can have repeat searches just like ChatGPT....

We do something similar across a React and a Next JS app. A little different because they are both web, but same principles of letting the clients do their own thing and having common backend logic.

Also just started looking around your site. This is actually a quality engineering blog! We're actively implementing stylized components in a manner similar to yours.

Re:Show HN: FlakyBot – Identify and suppress flaky tests on Thursday October 28, 2021 @01:44PM (#29028844)
We've been relying on manual testing so far. We're just starting to think about unit tests and integration tests. We don't know where to start. Would be cool if you could provide guidance on setting up good testing practices in the first place so that we avoid flaky tests all together.
Will give it a try!

If you’ve ever wanted to give your customers custom domains, send email on their behalf or manage their DNS records, would love feedback on dnspassport.com. Built this out for my current company and thinking of spinning this infrastructure out.

Sentry provides local stack traces but not data which is hard to reproduce in dev

Ask HN: How do I debug my back end in production?

We're a small startup running Node for our backend. Using a combination of LogDNA, FullStory, Sentry and Mixpanel across frontend and backend.Problems I face:1. Can't trace user journey: User reports a bug. I look through logs with a timestamp of the user report, but can't trace the user journey, especially with lots of asynchronous operations going on in parallel2. Insufficient logging: I can...

What about product analytics?

Ask HN: What are best practices to building a developer experience?

We're opening up integrations on our platform so developers can build on top of us. What matters to you as a developer when interacting with a 3rd party API? Would appreciate any pointers to good developer experiences (I like Slack and Stripe) and how to think about implementing themTop of mind is: - Comprehensive documentation - Interactive APIs - Easy to test - Easy to get keys, register...

Yes, it's all on top of Stripe. We're not trying to recreate the infrastructure that they've built
TL;DR If you're a SaaS company, mightydash.com lets your users pick a plan, pay you and get access to what they paid for. Takes 15 mins and saves you at least a week of engineering

Hello all, we've built a ton of SaaS apps in the past year, and payments have always been a headache. Yes, Stripe provides all the infrastructure to handle the grungy stuff, but you still have to build a ton of on top of it to get to something a customer can use. Decided to scratch my own itch and built mightydash.com to solve this.

This is all the stuff I've had to build myself that MightyDash enables out of the box: - Let users add, change or remove a credit card - Select a plan - Let a user downgrade/cancel a plan, but make sure the user still retains access to features they paid for till the next billing period - Let a user upgrade a plan and explain that they'll be prorated (so they don't complain to support) - In my app, restrict access to a feature based on the user's plan (eg - you can only send 100 emails on the free plan) - Add a limited promo (allow 500 people to use promo code DEAL for 1 month free) - Add a no credit-card trial

It's early and works for React/Node atm, but can easily extend it to your stack if you reach out.

I've looked at Chargebee, Recurly and more. They offer a lot of options, but not the exact set of things that someone needs to get a SaaS product off the ground instantly.

Would love to understand if this has been a problem for you too and what else you'd want handled for you

Working on https://acrossapp.com for the past 3 weeks. Built a side project when everyone started WFH: https://hallway.chat

The nice thing about builders is that when they see a new problem, they try to fix it. Not everyone comes up with good solutions, but it's the thought that counts. Very inspiring to see people tackling problems from the new WFH situation, CONVID-19 testing, distribution of medical equipment, in-home fitness, social, essentials for the elderly and sick, helping SMBs like restaurants, etc

Slack is a clever name for a company, isn't it? I bet enterprise doesn't like it though
