clementmas··on Ask HN: Where can I find small companies to work for part-time?
Or you can work for a remote digital agency.

This one accepts part time: https://www.zdigitalagency.com

clementmas··on Ask HN: Where can I find small companies to work for part-time?
Startups are probably more flexible to work with.

I'm looking for a contractor at the moment: https://travelmap.net/jobs/fullstack-web-developer

clementmas··on Play with TailwindCSS in the Browser
Tailwind CSS IntelliSense will give you a list of all the possible classes with the associated pixel value.

You can also do text-[20px] if you really need that specific size.

clementmas··on Play with TailwindCSS in the Browser
Interesting. I like the idea of clean HTML. It's probably great for small projects but I'm not sure it would scale for bigger applications.
clementmas··on Play with TailwindCSS in the Browser
I gave it a shot and now I like it. I don't have to add classes to my HTML and separate my CSS. I find it more maintainable. The built-in config and colors are also quite good.
clementmas··on Mailgun Is Down
I never had any issue with Mailgun before. I'm now using Postmark as a backup service and it works very well.

It's very easy to set up with Laravel (PHP): MAIL_MAILER=failover

clementmas··on Maslow never proposed a pyramid
It is referred as “Maslow’s pyramid” in French: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramide_des_besoins That how I learned the concept in France but I guess English speaking countries refer to it properly as “Maslow's hierarchy of needs”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs
clementmas··on Vercel free plan will be deprecated in May 2022
I received a second email 3 hours later:

"Hi there,

Vercel still has a free plan called "Hobby".

We received feedback that our previous email was confusing and we’re sorry. We emailed you because we’re deprecating a plan called the "Free Team" plan. We still offer a free plan for individual users, called "Hobby”. Vercel is committed to always having a free option for developers.

More information: https://vercel.com/support/articles/legacy-plans-deprecation

Here’s what we meant to communicate:

    All legacy personal accounts will be migrated to a free Hobby plan.
    All legacy team accounts will be migrated to a Pro plan on May 12, 2022. If no payment method is added, legacy teams will go inactive and not be billed. You can transfer your projects to a Hobby account.
If you host an open-source project and would like us to sponsor your account, please follow these instructions.

We appreciate your support over the years; please reach out to us with any questions or concerns"

clementmas··on Experimenting with Mapbox GL JS's upcoming globe projection
You can play with an interactive version here: https://premium-plus.travelmap.net

Beware this globe view projection has not been released officially yet.

clementmas··on Datawrapper: Create charts, maps, and tables
Can you zoom in and drag your locator maps around once embedded? I only see images being generated
clementmas··on Datawrapper: Create charts, maps, and tables
Very neat product! I especially like your Maps app (I myself built TravelMap.net).

Are all your maps static?

Do you generate and host your OSM vector tiles yourself?

clementmas··on How Laravel Livewire works
I feel like that sometimes but if you look at the open-source code and take time to understand it, it's not magic anymore but powerful abstractions. You could say the same about Laravel itself.
clementmas··on How Laravel Livewire works
I'm really into the idea of HTML over-the-wire, with Blade templates and PHPUnit tests. No need to split the logic between the backend and the frontend. However I still need SPA navigation and although there's a Turbo adapter [0], it looks like more of a prototype at the moment.

clementmas··on Ocean drone captures video from inside a hurricane
You don't really think in terms of days but 2-hours shifts. And some of them felt like they would never end, especially in the dark at night
clementmas··on Ocean drone captures video from inside a hurricane
Our 9m boat was surprisingly stable even in 6m waves. As long as you don't rotate sideways the risk of capsizing is pretty low
clementmas··on Ocean drone captures video from inside a hurricane
That reminded me of my team rowing across the Atlantic ocean but watching the storm video again doesn't seem that impressive in comparison: https://youtu.be/3barM5C7ecg?t=184
clementmas··on Zorin OS 16 is Released
I'm impressed with the website design. A bit slow at the moment but it looks very good. Good job!
clementmas··on Ask HN: Who has started a successful side business while having a full time job?
If you're patient and if the project is not too complex I don't think it's a problem.

I launched https://travelmap.net 7 years ago while working full time and stopped my job 3 years later to work on it full time

clementmas··on Hotwire: HTML over the Wire
What's the browser support for Turbo? It uses the History API, fetch, AbortController, etc.

So Edge 16+, Safari 12.1+, FF 57+?

clementmas··on Hotwire: HTML over the Wire
Caleb Porzio (creator of Livewire) made videos about "Server-Side Applications": https://laracasts.com/series/javascript-techniques-for-serve...

His work inspired me to build my app (TravelMap) with SSR views: https://clem.travelmap.net

clementmas··on Is TravelMap an app? Yes, it's a web app
Hey guys, I'm the founder of TravelMap.net. I built it as a PWA but if it's not in the Play/App Store, I feel like people don't value it the same way. What's your take on this?
clementmas··on The specification for native image lazy-loading is merged into HTML standard
That's great news. Thanks for the link
clementmas··on Scaling to 100k Users
Same thing here, TravelMap.net has 100k+ users (total), handles photo uploads and runs on a simple droplet with PHP and JS.

I guess it depends on the daily traffic.

clementmas··on Tell HN: Mailgun lowers free-tier API from 10k to 625 emails per month
I'm currently sending 3k emails per month so if I believe it would cost $2.4. I'm completely fine with that.

However, I receive < 500 emails per month and that would cost $420 per year. That's just not possible for a small startup.

And only 1 month notice. It feels like what happened with the Google Maps API pricing. I wish there was a middle ground for small businesses.

clementmas··on Stripe Corporate Card
Would the money be taken directly from the Stripe balance or the linked bank account?
clementmas··on Strava cuts off Relive
For long distance travellers you can check out TravelMap (https://travelmap.net). I built it for my cycling and hiking trips and then opened it to the public ;)
clementmas··on Ask HN: One-person SaaS apps that are profitable?
I launched https://travelmap.net as a side project 5 years ago but now I'm working full-time on it. I preferred that than freelancing ;)
clementmas··on It’s not about how many countries you have been to
We wrote this article for our blog but here is our website if you want to check out our app: http://travelmap.net
