Is this a competitor or alternative to something like replicated.com


Yes, Distr is an Open Source alternative to replicated


It is made by the same company that makes DevSpace so that tracks


Have you heard of the Lunchmoney app? I found it recently and find it to be a nice in-between of spreadsheet and full automated budget app. Plus it pulls transactions in


Is this a Sourcegraph killer or does SG have other features that still keep it competitive?


We (Sourcegraph) have other features to stay competitive. One thing we have been working on indexing other code hosts like Eclipse Foundation, Crates.io, etc.

We put this together anticipating these questions: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/getting-started/github-vs-sourc...

We also just launched Search Ranking and Relevance: https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/new-search-ranking

More to come! And BTW we are happy to have competition, GitHub is a great brand and it will only make code search better for all developers.


Thanks for the response and for having a doc ready. Code search definitely seems to be on the rise as a needed tool


You're welcome. We agree, good times ahead =)


This is really interesting! I have been keeping an eye on the low code number modeling scene and it's great to see a mix on the usual spreadsheet + X.

I applied for early access but I wanted to ask how you balance the amount of spreadsheet and modeling you expose vs keeping it out of sight?


Thanks a bunch! It's really early stages here... but we're so excited with the possibilities this tool will unlock.

It's been a big topic that we talk about a lot as a team as we continue to build. We ultimately want to give creators the control on how they want to share and present their model. And, give the reader/collaborator some controls on how they want to consume it. But, we also want to make it easier for people to understand what different calculations mean and how the model works so they can learn and collaborate more effectively. One approach we've been exploring as we build Decipad is a more human way to write calculations that are easier to read and understand.


There are 2 options that are very popular these days.

1. Substack.com. This one would take care of everything for you. Import your subscribers and start writing.

2. Ghost.org. This is if you want to set up yourself and have full control.


I did a bit of googling like "substack import bounces" and "ghost import bounces" but nothing came up.

So I am not sure those would do the job.


Why can't you just remove bounced addresses manually (with a one-off script, etc) from your list before importing it?


Bounces probably have all kinds of funky formats and edge cases.

A software that analyzes the bounce mails probably needs to know about all the different formats in which mail servers tell you "A mail from you bounced: Here is the recipient".


unfortunately, substack does not have an API to continually import new subscribers.

MailChimp might be the best option here.


This is amazing! Thank you so much


You're welcome. :-)

Also, there are some (legitimately) free SQL books that might be worth a look:

https://www.linuxlinks.com/excellent-free-books-learn-sql/

Then there's this freebie, which is interesting in that it's compiled from StackOverflow, whose content is licensed under Creative-Commons -- GoalKicker has a bunch of these on various tech topics. Anyway, the SQL one might have some useful tips/tricks:

https://books.goalkicker.com/SQLBook/SQLNotesForProfessional...

(It has gotten good ratings and reviews:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40730648-sql-notes-for-p... )

They also have such books on specific databases: MySQL, Postgres, SQLServer and Oracle -- see all their books on their main page:

https://books.goalkicker.com

And, once you learn SQL, you might want to check out webpages (and YouTube videos) of SQL tips/tricks to pick up useful tidbits:

Thank you for sharing :)


This looks great and affordable! Thank you!


Thanks for sharing! The idea of also downloading some stuff and just playing around is helpful. Might do that alongside courses
