I wish they offered a Windows->Mac connector, as smooth and seamless as RDC (Windows->Windows). RDC is such a great and unbeatable solution, but it only works properly for Windows to Windows connections (Linux is doable, but experience is not great, not even close to native).

But they're clearly trying to get more Windows licenses sold, so they have no reason to support people doing work on other OSes.

I have yet to determine how I become a multi-billionaire from this achievement :)

The Github link for the tests does not include the node requirements which makes it hard to do the tests myself.

Back-end: Whatever I prefer at the time. If you're building a project with RoR, it does not mean that the landing page has to be done with that. A simple PHP/NodeJS app works great since it can be much faster to build.

All in all, I try not to spend too much time on the landing page. Usually, more time is spent figuring out what's best to show on the page itself than building it.

Other notes on the documentation:

* Very little info on how the templates (views) work. Can I use a different engine for them? No info about that.

* (just as an example of many) I've noticed that a scheduler is implemented and that it's mentioned in the site. It is also noted on github that there's no info on the scheduler yet. So, why would you include the features that no one will be able to use unless they're willing to get into the source code of Nodal itself?

I see that the project has been going for almost a year now and it looks like it's going a great direction. Just needs a more user friendly documentation to be fully usable, I'd say.

That said, I use PHPStorm and maybe DataGrip will complement the knowledge of JetBrains IDEs.

I'll give it at least a few hours of SQL work and get back.

EDIT: Well, apparently I won't have a couple of hours fiddling with the tool considering that it does not really work as I expect it to.

* Added a MySQL connection, can't seem to be able to work with multiple databases unless I create multiple data sources. That's weird.

* Selecting a specific DB (what I don't really want to do) still shows me the wrong table list from a different DB. 'Forget Schemas' does not work. Weirdly enough, I can query the DB I selected, it just won't resolve the table names (and do autocomplete).

Though, it's probably just me having this problem since there's no way this would go through the testing phase.

EDIT2: The price is also way too much in my opinion. It basically costs as much as PHPStorm. Not sure why you would by DataGrip instead of Navicat.

Or are you living in India and complaining that you won't qualify to work in companies that are expecting people from EU to contact them?

The simplest one I found is here: http://opensource.com/life/15/2/music-light-show-with-raspbe...

And there's plenty of other results on 'raspberry christmas lights'.

This screen* is pretty cheap, right? I'm currently using one (on an Arduino, different seller) and it works great.

Sure, it won't have the same IO capabilities as there's much more layers but it will be pretty close and I don't really need great performance anyways.

I guess, I'll have to switch to the Pi, it's not even a fair race at this point.

(luckily for me, I was mostly writing the SaaS that would work with the Arduino and only spent about a full day's work doing C/C++ coding so far)

Most of the traffic that came in when I was working on it came from Reddit. Looks like, currently, the traffic also comes from mostly Reddit (over 40%), Twitter and Facebook (9-10% each).

Currently, the traffic does seem to have settled and is pretty low. But that's considering that I'm not putting any more work since I'm more interested in newer projects.

My simple real-time polling website. Built on Node (fully rebuilt from PHP).

Currently gets around 1500-3000 visitors per week.

Got bored of developing and marketing it, looking for someone to take over.

I am looking for a quick way to sketch some apps and this might be the simplest way to do so even though it misses a couple of things.

Some of the things to improve:

* Snapping. Sometimes when the area is small, the snapping is annoying as I won't be able to vertically center text in the box even though it should be possible physically. Maybe, turning off snapping?

* More text settings (font size at least)

* Predefined elements. Surely, it must be kept simple but things like arrows would help a lot and my crooked hands won't have to draw crooked arrows :)

Here, I made a gifV of your mp4 to show you the artifacts (don't mind it being a bit laggy): http://i.imgur.com/0MHFPnx.gifv . The second mp4 seems to work just fine though!

Specs: Windows 7 32bit, Firefox 36.0.4.

I've quickly developed a page to view the progress: http://0xff.lt/stripe-spread.html

Still more than 50% of EU left. And Switzerland does not seem to be moving anywhere, hehe.

I've quickly sketched a website with the current supported countries: http://0xff.lt/stripe-spread.html

Recently, I've got tired of tracking various retailers of certain products (I was looking for a decent cheapish non-smart TV!) so decided to do myself a service that does it automatically for me. I then though that I might as well just put more work (a lot more work) in it and make it publicly available.

So now, after a lot of weeks, it is ready for public BETA usage. I've implemented price tracking and email/sms notifying.

Since HN is a great community, I want to repay the community by giving out additional free credits for any user that does decide to test my service. Just contact me through the feedback button on the site or the contact email and I'll sort things out :)

I'm open to discussing the stack and tools if anyone has got any questions.

I do understand it - you stick your own SIM card to a GSM modem and use this application to send messages via it.

I'm just contemplating that most providers would not allow endless one-way text messaging. Unless you have some sort of a business plan that allows this sort of thing.

Just looking at some use cases where this could replace Twilio/Nexmo but it seems like you would just get blocked by the carrier if you tried to send quite a handful of text messages.

P.S. I have nothing against the app and I think it's wonderful and I just MIGHT use it sometime if I'll need to send messages inside my own country. And I'll probably get blocked but it might just be worth it as I could just swap SIM cards as I could get 3000SMS for about 2.5 euros. But that's some black stuff happening in my mind now!
