Are you blocking some of your traffic? I had the same issue until I (temporary) disabled NextDNS just for signing in.

Sadly, the error returned is not related to the cause.

dmarinoc··on Alt-F4 #65 – Factorio visualizer in Unreal Engine 5
Or add Shapez2 to your wishlist.

It hasn’t been released yet, but the team is publishing a highly interesting devlog: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2162800

dmarinoc··on Tell HN: Use separate windows, not tabs, for distinct tasks
That’s been one of the strategies to help me cope with my ADD: turning my most visited services into standalone apps, and forbid to open links outside the domain in those apps.

I use Fluid in Mac, although IIRC there was a non trivial way to create them using Firefox.

dmarinoc··on Launch HN: Tappity (YC S20) – Keeping kids entertained with science
Yup. In our case, tablets are forbidden on weekdays, but we allow them to use the appletv because we can control what they are doing/watching. I’ll be happy to pay a lifetime membership once it’s released there.

Don’t forget the AppleTV :)
dmarinoc··on Kathy Sierra
BoS 2012? I was there and that presentation changed my way on how to (re)think about users interactions with products. I don’t exaggerate if I say that the ROI of attending that event (if only for her session) has been well over 1000x

Apart from those, I’d suggest to take a look to Integromat. Their “http module” (a UI for a curl-like service) is really handy when you want to interact with a 3rd party service that hasn’t been integrated yet.
dmarinoc··on Things I’ve learned in 20 years of programming
I’ve only seen mob-programming to be adopted by teams of junior-slackers, but YMMV
dmarinoc··on Why the fuck was I breached?
We should ask our governments to ban the use of https and just trust each other

(</ironic>, just in case some internet random folk thinks I’m serious)

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: Looking for an Alternative to Jira
For me, Clubhouse has the best UX ratio of personalization, features and simplicity... Hopefully it will continue to be only improved and not extended
dmarinoc··on Story of the acquisition of Ducksboard
Please, don't be nervous. The v1 will be sold and maintained for a very long time.

Cannot talk about details, but New Relic doesn't want us to lose a single customer during the transition. Not only one.

So please, bear with us. No plans to discontinue anything, and with the upside that now we have a lot more of horsepower.

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: what's the Stripe of dashboards?
We have a few customers at Ducksboard that are building dashboards for their customers and embedding them into their apps.

Everything (pushing/pulling data, create widgets, auths, reordering, etc) can be done using our APIs (http://dev.ducksboard.com/apidoc/).

My email is at the profile page if you're interested. Thx!

dmarinoc··on Bot written to buy random things each month from Amazon
As the OP, I can confirm the intention :)
dmarinoc··on Samwers Clone Stripe
Nope.

Although Recurly could be technically used in Europe, it generates invalid invoices (at least here in Spain).

We are switching away from it, and personally, I do not recommend it anymore.

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: Why is there no good business dashboard creation tool?
Diego from Ducksboard here

May I ask you about your specific needs to host it yourself?

We are thinking about selling ducksboard as an OVA, but we want to understand better the needs first.

Thx! :)

dmarinoc··on Show HN: Ducksboard launched a new API and is giving away free subscriptions
Good point.

We currently have one paid plan without any restrictions, so there´s no much to show. If you are a "standard plan" user, you'll see a trial countdown notification at the top bar and your payment options at your account preferences. If you have a HN account, you won't see anything of this.

If you have specific doubts regarding to your account status, send us an email to contact_At_ducksboard.com

dmarinoc··on Show HN: Ducksboard launched a new API and is giving away free subscriptions
Oooops... thanks for reporting this! :)
dmarinoc··on We have a real-time API and we're not afraid to use it. Are you?
Ooops... I think we have a wrong message in our site: it's not in our plans to sell widgets (or put limitations on the # of them you can use). Probably the word "marketplace" isn't appropriate. Calling it "directory" suits better our intentions.

Also, it's not really a contest. For us is to have fun, play with cutting-edge technology, make interesting things and just hack.

I see your point about pricing, but we can only say at this stage that we are validating the final one and it will be affordable. Hope this helps to explain our view.

dmarinoc··on We have a real-time API and we're not afraid to use it. Are you?
It's free during the beta... and someday we'll start charging. There's nothing more I can say you now except:

- We are validating the pricing, and it will cost like any other SaaS (different plans segmented on features and affordable [monthly fee like 1-2 hours of typical salary outside SiliconValley :D]

- If you are in the Hackathon, we will forget to send you any invoice during some months ;)

dmarinoc··on Ask PG: Is there any chance of getting points displayed again
I thought it was a trick to speed up the site avoiding queries to the database ;)
dmarinoc··on One year old thinks magazine is a broken iPad
Last Christmas we bought a laptop for my nephew. Few days later came to my wife to ask her how to save a file.

- You just need to click on the "diskette" icon. - Aunt, what's a "diskette"?

I bet in few years most UX designers will use the Dropbox logo instead of a diskette icon to show where you need to click to save a file :D

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: Recommended community/forum software?
Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a really good solution: http://osqa.net

As a user I prefer an stackoverflow clone instead of a typical forum

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: Where Are HackerNews Readers Based?
me 2... so, to this moment, 100% of HN users are based in Spain :D
dmarinoc··on Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
Same for me, with an "ñ" in my last name.

Kinda ironic after reading Spolsky's article "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!" :D

dmarinoc··on Practical Nerd: The hidden price of “free”
Anything similar for OSX?
dmarinoc··on Ask HN: How to Build a Dashboard for your business
(Disclaimer: I'm a proud founder at http://ducksboard.com)

1) It's pretty transparent because we're a small team (of 3) :) We have a large 37' screen with general information (leads, support tickets, milestones, active users...) and also all of us are using it individually for tracking other metrics (f.i. I'm tracking mainly marketing metrics, while Jan is an addict to PostgreSQL performance).

2) We have a set of predefined widgets, but we mainly push data through a REST API. It's so easy to set up, that even a VC can do it :P

Next week we'll open up the invites floodgates (a.k.a. "public beta"). If you want to try it, please sign up for an account in our site and then sent me an email (diego_at_ducksboard.com) saying that you read this comment on HN. There's a priority line for HN users :)

dmarinoc··on CEO/CTO Dashboard
We're currently in a closed beta for devs. We have to change several things before launch it publicly.

Send an e-mail to jan-at-ducksboard.com asking for access.

Thanks for your interest :)

dmarinoc··on CEO/CTO Dashboard
Check http://ducksboard.com :)

(disclaimer: I'm a co-founder)

dmarinoc··on Show HN: Ducksboard, from nothing to private beta in four months
Don't know... we made it public a few days ago that today we will be giving invitations.

Ask them ;)

dmarinoc··on Ask HN: Moving to Spain from the USA, any tips?
I'm from Spain (and glad to help) :)

If you hace general questions ask them here, or ir they are more specific feel free to drop me a line (diego -at- ducksboard.com)

The spanish startup scene is becoming more mature. I know dozens of them with with 20+ employees. Also, due to the general lack of English knowledge here, a native developer is always more than welcome.
