adparadox··on Ask HN: Pinboard Archiving Working for You?
I've been building devmarks.io on the side for the past few months which automatically syncs GitHub stars, Twitter likes, Hacker News favorites, and Pinboard.in bookmarks into one central location. Bookmarks can also be added manually. I also retrieve extra metadata for developer-centric sites (think: number of forks and stars from GitHub repos, version numbers from PyPI, publish date from dev.to articles, etc). I also have a beta version of bookmark archive working to store readable content of URLs. I'd love for you to try devmarks.io out and see how it works for you and if you send me feedback I'll hook you up with a free lifetime plan.
adparadox··on Show HN: Keep your bookmarks clean and up-to-date
If anyone is looking for a hosted solution for bookmarks, I've been building devmarks.io on the side for the past few months which automatically syncs GitHub stars, Twitter likes, Hacker News favorites, and Pinboard.in bookmarks into one central location. Bookmarks can be added manually. I also retrieve extra metadata for developer-centric sites (think: number of forks and stars from GitHub repos, version numbers from PyPI, publish date from dev.to articles, etc). I automatically keep all of the bookmark data up to date once a day and back up the content in a readable format without ads or annoying pop-ups. I'd love to hear any feedback if you try it out!
adparadox··on Django, HTMX and Alpine.js: Modern websites, JavaScript optional
Howdy, creator of django-unicorn here. Some of the UI-specific examples are a little contrived and wouldn't be what I consider a really great idea, but it's more to show the possibilities, i.e. instead of counting characters, you could do a heavy ML task to analyze the text.

Personally, I mostly use Unicorn as a component library to split up functionality from the view code, and as a way to persist data to the backend (which would already be an AJAX call) without the hassle of creating an API, dealing with serializers, etc.

adparadox··on StimulusReflex, or LiveView for Rails
More of a port of Laravel's Livewire (so only AJAX calls, no websockets), but I've been working on something similar for Django at https://www.django-unicorn.com/. I also detail other options at https://www.django-unicorn.com/docs/#related-projects.
adparadox··on My Python Development Environment, 2018 Edition
pipenv is basically a wrapper around virtualenv (similar to virtualenvwrapper), but also provide other features (like deterministic builds). It has replaced pip, virtualenv and dealing with requirements.txt files in my workflow. More information is in their docs: https://docs.pipenv.org/.

https://github.com/akre54 has some GitHub art.
adparadox··on Curated list for bootstrapping developers
I would definitely be interested.
adparadox··on Curated list for bootstrapping developers
Yep, I used to religiously read new Joel on Software posts, but they are pretty few and far between now.

Yep, sorry I mis-remembered this tweet: https://twitter.com/patio11/status/366959032625405953. Sales chart: http://www.bingocardcreator.com/stats/sales-by-month.

Yikes! That's cleaned up now, thanks!
adparadox··on Sentry, The (Now Profitable) Bug Tracker Gets A Huge Makeover
We (http://www.fool.com) are currently using Sentry with a few Django sites, a few Wordpress sites and (very sparingly) with some C# code. There have been a few hiccups here and there with the UI, but we have been extremely happy with the service so far.

As a side note, we also have a legacy internal log error application that we also use, but it is nice to not have to deal with any of that infrastructure :).

adparadox··on Deployd: Create RESTful JSON APIs using a GUI interface
It looks like their server is melting. Their demo video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Jq1BVj6D0&feature=playe....
adparadox··on Tray.io - powerful email assistant
Unfortunately, I don't think IMAP isn't enabled by default in Exchange. And, at least at my work, enabling it isn't an option.
adparadox··on Tray.io - powerful email assistant
Some later versions of Exchange have a SOAP API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/dd877045(v=...). I wrote this npm module to grab a user's current emails: https://npmjs.org/package/exchanger.

adparadox··on Node.js How to use streams to ftp, unzip, and save a file to mongoDB
One way to determine if a module on NPM is "decent" is to make sure they implement some way to stream or pipe data in this way. It seems pretty core to Node.JS and is a big win for processes like this which are basically transforming data from one source to another.
adparadox··on Amon - server monitoring, simplified logging and error tracking for web apps
This seems really interesting and I really like that the data would stay inside my firewall. Any comparisons to New Relic? Looks like ease of installation would be similar (except for setting up Mongo), but that it doesn't collect quite the same amount of data (yet).
adparadox··on Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
Agreed. We currently use Mingle at my job, and Trello looks like it would solve the same problems without the complexity.
adparadox··on Ask HN: Review my app, Gossipopolis
I thought about something similar to making celebrity names into a related article link, but it might turn ugly since there are so many nicknames involved, and more get added all of the time. I'll see what I can hack up, though -- it's definitely a good idea. Thanks!
adparadox··on Ask HN: Review my app, Gossipopolis
Thanks!

The color scheme is definitely more what I'd like, rather than the audience so that's a good point. I'll definitely add in pictures soon.
