I've been writing notes on Heroku alternatives (mostly Fly, Railway, Render) at https://croaky-webstack.deno.dev/ Maybe something useful in there for others.


+1 Netlify.

I've really liked it for https://blog.statusok.com and https://statusok.com

GitHub webhook deploy flow, one-click SSL, 301 redirects and other rewrite support, CDN seems pretty good.


-1 Netlify

I found the netlify was slower than github pages and surge.sh according to google's speed tests.

Netlify also wants complete access to your github account. You either need to make a separate account or give them access to all of your repos.


GitHub doesn't offer anything more granular than read/write all repos in their app permissions matrix.


I understand that, but that doesn't excuse the fact I have to give them complete access to my repos.


thoughtbot | Web Developer | Austin, Boston, New York City, Raleigh, San Francisco | https://thoughtbot.com/jobs

thoughtbot designers and developers rapidly build high-quality web applications. Well-qualified designers and developers have excellent knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Designers should also be able to create great visual designs and run usability tests and product design sprints.

Developers should have excellent knowledge of Ruby on Rails, , SQL, Unix, and Test-Driven Development. We also have active projects in Go, Elixir Phoenix, React, and React Native. Experience or interest in these technologies is a plus.

Very well-qualified candidates will also have experience with consulting. We work a sustainable pace of 40 hours/week, consulting for clients four days/week. On Fridays, we have investment time when we learn new tools and techniques, work on open source, write blog posts, and make ourselves, each other, and the community better.

My favorite growth resources are Brian's essays at http://www.coelevate.com/


Thanks for the suggestion. I am also an admirer of Brian's writings. Other resources that I have started referring to are - frequenting Inbound.org and GrowthHackers.


I love Trello and have built a few things on their API but have to agree the API docs are painful, hard to navigate.

Also, what's up, homie? Hope you're well.


Dan? Hi! Hope you're well!


Sorry about that! Working on the ILIKE fix at https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/pull/166


It works in SQLite now. I'll wait for the next release. Thanks!



If you're a Rails developer, you probably have a config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb file in your app. Think of James the next time you see that file. He wrote the initial implementation:

http://jamesgolick.com/2007/12/1/noisy-backtraces-got-you-do...

DHH later ported the work to Rails:

https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f42c77f927eb49b00e84d3...

I knew James mostly online and a little in person from various programming conferences. He was smart, funny, and kind. He made a difference. He will be missed.


Awesome! I'm a huge fan of Segment: http://playbook.thoughtbot.com/#instrumentation

We're using this code-level approach in basically every one of our Rails apps these days: http://robots.thoughtbot.com/segment-io-and-ruby

Most common integrations: Intercom, Mixpanel, HubSpot, AdWords, Twitter Ads, Google Analytics.

Good interview with Peter (Segment founder) from February this year: http://podcasts.thoughtbot.com/giantrobots/86


https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop will install Homebrew, Tmux, Silver Searcher, Postgres, Redis, a few programming languages, and other items.

https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles sets up a bunch of slick aliases and plugins for Vim and ZSH to make development productive.
