nyddle··on Sleep, Caffeine and your daily schedule? poll

Just read "Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us", some interesting stuff on global caffeine consumption there.

nyddle··on Ask HN: What (side) projects are you working on?

I'm crafting a time tracking app for Google Drive, https://whathaveidone.today.

Stack: Python/Flask + MongoDB Statistics: 60 signups, 1000 pageviews so far. History: my friend came up with an idea and I coded it as it seemed like a couple of evenings (it turned couple of weeks actually).

nyddle··on Rejection email from Y Combinator

Aren't youtube suggestions good enough?

nyddle··on YC W15 emails are out

Rejected. Working on a time tracking solution for google platform: https://whathaveidone.today.

nyddle··on YC W15 invites will be sent out today

https://whathaveidone.today

Automated time tracking for Google Drive. (rejected)

nyddle··on Ask HN: How, if at all, do you build infrastructure for side projects to scale?

I use Heroku. You can use it for free and scale with one click if your project gets off the ground (or you are hitting HN front page). The downside is that Heroku gets very expensive as you add more resources.

nyddle··on Show HN: WHIDT, time tracking for Google Drive

Ouch, inherited the section from Harp template

nyddle··on Not sure what to do with my startup idea

Maybe you can start with a web app that is much cheaper?

nyddle··on Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day?

Perl by day, Python by night.

nyddle··on Ask HN: Landing page of our upcomming product. What do you think?

Seems like Facebook share on signup is broken.

Looks good. Is it like Slack on top of google apps?

И клево, что есть русская версия!

nyddle··on Ask HN: How do I start contributing to open source projects?

Find a github repo of an interesting project an read CONTRIB file at the root (ex. https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.m...).

nyddle··on Ask HN: What is HN reading?

Traction by Gabriel Weinberg (http://tractionbook.com/)

nyddle··on Ask HN: Where can one learn about how computers work?

Charles Petzold, "Code".

nyddle··on Ask HN: What language should I learn first?

Python seems like a good choice as it is simple and can be used in a wide variety of applications.

nyddle··on [dead]

Как в Самаре дела, чувствуется продовольственный кризис?

nyddle··on Ask HN: Hacker News like websites in other languages?

I made http://itimes.ru for Russian startup community but it didn't really took off.

nyddle··on Ask HN: What do you use for Flask social/oauth login?

Yes, I don't check if the same user logged in with a different social account.

Modular enough for my needs. I tried https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-social which seems to be a more structured approach but couldn't wrap my head around it.

nyddle··on Ask HN: What do you use for Flask social/oauth login?

I use flask_oauth, but it seems rauth/flask-rauth is more up to date.

nyddle··on Ask HN: What you use for task scheduling in Python + Flask?

Redis Queue: http://python-rq.org https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-rq

nyddle··on Ask HN: I'm building a forum engine with Django, any advice?

Thank you. I was initially evaluating against this list https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/forums/ but it seems there are some hidden gems like https://github.com/rafalp/misago that somehow didn't get on the list.

nyddle··on Would you hire designers and developers from Cuba?

It would be great if you do this.

nyddle··on Ask HN: Which paid apps and services do you use?

Heroku Basecamp Ghost Github Skype

nyddle··on The Uncloud.

That would be awesome.

nyddle··on Ask HN: I want to contribute to an open source project. Where do I begin?

https://github.com/nyddle/pystash You're welcome!

nyddle··on Show HN: Stash, an evernote for command line

I think everything should work fine and this kind of locks is very uncommon.
