gerenuk··on Apache ECharts 6
We did for ContentStudio.io, in fact it’s my go to library for every project that involves visualization.

No regrets and we are very happy with it.

In another project, we started with nivo.rocks and eventually migrated everything to echarts. (Usermaven)

gerenuk··on Ask HN: Best Alternative to TravisCI?
I'll recommend Buddy.works

We recently migrated from Codeship to Buddyworks and I could not say how much happier we are with their platform.

Features:

- Great support, integrates with all of the popular platforms.

- If you are deploying to K8, you have the UI option to select a cluster, containers, etc. and the code will be shipped there. (say goodbye to bash scripts etc)

- Parallel builds, if you have a microservice or similar architecture where you need to ship code in parallel, you can self-host using Enterprise license that starts with $170 and can get up to 20 builds in parallel. (Same thing on SaaS would cost you nearly $1000+ or maybe more.

- You can get on-prem solution up and running within 30 minutes.

gerenuk··on Ask HN: How to generate topics from a question(like what Quora doing)?
Here is a brief overview of what you need to do:

1. Use nltk to get all the nouns etc. from the topic.

2. You can use LDA/TF-IDF (gensim) for your questions to extract the most common topic.

3. Use cosine similarity once you have the corpus built to tag a question to the right category.

Look into gensim for more details for the topic modeling.

gerenuk··on Ask HN: How do you find critical thinkers/beta testers for your SAAS/Product?
Betalist.com, betapage.co, and getworm.com

Betalist takes time approx. 2-3 months, so you should submit your product right now so that when you are done polishing it more, your product will be live there.

And, if you get enough upvotes on betalist, you will have good amount of sign ups for your platform.

After that you need to engage with them to get the maximum feedback for your platform.
