lottamuson Show HN: Typeform alternative, turns Markdown to forms

Looks like a high quality and modern tech stack. Great job on putting this together. I can see a lot of developers using this as a launching pad for their new startup ideas. Thank you for making it open source!

lottamuson Using copper to convert CO₂ to methane

I’m not sure how effective using copper will be at scale, though I know you can use h2o and co2 to produce ch4 (methane) through a process called a Sabatier Reaction which involves the presence of a catalyst like nickel and high temperature. I’m guessing it would be a similar process here, except with copper?

Additionally, I recently discovered a company Valar Atomics who are working on small scale nuclear reactors to produce methane from h2o and co2 using this method.

lottamuson Remix Team Joins Shopify

Really excited to see the Remix and Hydrogen/Oxygen teams working together in an official capacity now. Seems their roadmaps will be more aligned, which will result in a much stronger competitor to Vercel and Next.js

Interesting timing given the Heroku breach. Any correlation?

lottamuson Show HN: Two-Factor Auth with Emojis

Thanks for the feedback! Under the hood Authmoji displays unicode, so it depends on the OS you're using. It should not be a problem if you enter the emoji sequence from the same phone you receive the SMS. We've also selected a subset of emojis that are very closely matched across OS. If you see any major discrepancies, please let us know!

lottamuson Show HN: Two-Factor Auth with Emojis

Authmoji adds a fun spin on two factor auth and one time passwords by using emojis instead of numbers. We just launched, so let us know what you think!

lottamuson Ask HN: How do you manage your demo env?

We have several cloud environments that can be spun up and deployed by anyone at the company who needs a "production-like" environment. We built some Slack commands to make it easy for anyone to deploy using a specific git commit.

We do this by building a docker container on every commit and storing it in Quay (1). This also means it's easy for anyone on the team to run one of the docker containers on their computer.

We use Gitlab's release branch flow (2). Our cloud production environment is deployed directly from our master branch. And once a month we cut a stable version of our master branch and release it to our on-premise customers.

Hope this helps!
