mxschmitt··on Playwright: Automate Chromium, WebKit and Firefox
It supports video recording (without audio), screenshots, and post mortem recording which is called Tracing.
mxschmitt··on Vercel – $102M to Continue Building the Next Web, Together
Great platform! They are able to improve the DX (developer experience) year after year and update their products to make building and hosting websites tremendously easy.
mxschmitt··on Show HN: An open-source, self-hostable Heroku and Netlify alternative
I personally use Vercel mostly. Didn't do much with Netfliy yet, both options should be fine.

Building such a thing is not that a high effort, reliability, extensibility and scalability are the things which are not easy to implement. For a small scale like hobby projects it definitely makes sense to use such stuff but not for things where you want to press a button to provision new nodes in different regions with e.g. GKE Autopilot or Render.com. Like things where you rely on a bulletproof CDN e.g. from Vercel or Netfliy.

btw. I'm curious why their installer is 73MB in size: https://get.coollabs.io/coolify-installer

mxschmitt··on DigitalOcean S-1
Maybe dumb more general question, but when is it then available on the stock market?

jQuery... thought there are at least some modern Web API's in use.
mxschmitt··on Food delivery startup Wolt raises $530M
Great, looking forward to it! Something like a food recommendation tool would also be nice. "Since you ordered A from B and C from D you probably also like meal E from restaurant F".
mxschmitt··on Food delivery startup Wolt raises $530M
I mostly struggle, when I have a specific restaurant open, some restaurants have an own category for that (vegan/vegetarian) and some add it as a text to the meal description. For some you have to choose e.g. a vegetarian patty to make a burger vegetarian - I'm confused with this mostly. A feature which i would really like is a list of all the meals which I can order nearby restaurant independent and filter them e.g. by vegetarian/vegan ones to discover new restaurants.

Better UX/UI afaik
mxschmitt··on Food delivery startup Wolt raises $530M
Cool, excited how the market will grow in Germany/Berlin. I really prefer Wolt over Lieferando in Germany. The user experience is way nicer, you have pictures of the meals which you want to order. The only thing which I miss is that you can't filter directly for vegan/vegetarian meals.
mxschmitt··on Cypress: Fast, easy, and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser
I really like Playwright, there is less magic and it simply works: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright

Especially with this test runner: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-test

mxschmitt··on Pfizer and BioNTech Conclude Phase 3 Study of Covid-19 Vaccine Candidate
great to see the progress there
mxschmitt··on AWS forked my project and launched it as its own service
Yeah buts not visible to the enduser or be rewarded in any way. You have to download the CRX (Chrome extension) file yourself, extract it and then you could see the content of the NOTICES.txt...
mxschmitt··on Cloudflare was down
Site that use Discord, Linode, Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, Gitlab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy and many more including 1.1.1.1 dns down. Ref: https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/1284239374809395200?s=19
mxschmitt··on Flow browser passes the Acid tests
I get the following: 403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!
mxschmitt··on Show HN: Caddy 2
I really like Caddy and use it e.g. in Try Playwright: https://github.com/mxschmitt/try-playwright/blob/master/fron...

For me as a user, the documentation is sometimes not very clear if it comes to Caddyfile syntax vs. JSON. It would be maybe better to always provide both or configurable via some switch e.g. (maybe its only for me not always fully clear).

-> Great product, nice security settings by default and for me definitely the way to go.

mxschmitt··on Vercel, formerly Zeit, raises $21M Series A
Just great to see how this company grows and produces awesome developer tools, frameworks and platforms to improve the developer and user experience.
