I love this. Thank you :)


Of course!


Very cool -- the widgets are getting a little out of hand these days, I prefer when they stay minimized or at least out of your face. Thank you-- will definitely try this out!

Also love the Cruip design, makes it very slick!


It would be interesting to see a browser extension like this that keeps the chat widgets on the page, but forces them to stay minimized. I often find it painful when I actually need the widget (example: using intercom for product support) to disable my blocker & refresh the page.


thank you for the kind words, did you use the buymeacoffee link? (guessing from your username)


Yes :)


thank you so much, you really made my day.


what was the use case when they wanted you to have a load balancer for a single server..?


I've gotten the same recommendation from them. I complained because they pulled the network connection on the drive connected to the database and completely torched the drive. They were like: well maybe you should consider running multiple database machines with replication so you can survive the next time we screw things up.


This is true for all VPS hosting. They're cheap because they're commodity hardware that sometimes fails.


Full VPS backup should be standard feature of all premium providers...


You'd think, but then they lose that easy upsell.


And get tons of support requests and risk their brand name.


This sounds to me more like a procedural than a hardware failure.


I was told it was to avoid changing my DNS when I spun up a new server. With the load balancer being $50/month; that was the pitch that put me off Rackspace.


The LB itself (in IAD) is $10.95/month + traffic.


This was exactly it.


I don't know about the poster above, but commonly load balancers can be used to do SSL termination, which can significantly improve application performance.


I was so incredibly sad when I found out that he wasn't around to make more. I haven't found another artist that appeals to me like him. Rest in peace Jun Seba.


The USAF currently has planes flying with 3D printed parts that serve an important purpose!


We did this too, then we also tied in google maps to rank them by drive time.


Definitely agree with you on this one, Meteor has made code easier to deploy. Haven't used it in a while but was able to get my project off the ground in less than 20 minutes. Have recommended it to non 'full stack' friends and they have had great success too. Hopefully this project continues to improve on the road to 1.0!


Don't make Meteor sound like a toy, though, 'full stack' engineers worth their salt can do awesome things with it if they understand its inherent limitations. I ran Meteor with Redis before their official Redis implementation came out, and I used Redis pub/sub to sync in real-time between 8 different instances of Meteor in production. It rocked.

Just because a framework comes out supporting only MongoDB doesn't mean you have to use MongoDB for everything. It's still on Node.js, and it still supports NPM packages, with some small caveats.
