Wrote [Build A SaaS App in Ruby on Rails 8](https://buildasaasappinrails.com), blogging at https://robrace.dev and building [Catchook](https://catchhook.app).
I built this out my need for a simple to make and deploy public roadmap for products I build. After talking to a few people, it seemed like something others would like as well. I'm here to field any questions!
I would also like to add, I have seen people report that a domain they searched for, but not bought, was later registered and available for purchase as a 'premium domain'. However, personally, I have not seen any concrete proof of this. With that being said, it have seen this complaint multiple times.
I agree with that sentiment(especially the know it in JS, but WTF in Ember), and I am definitely not shilling Ember or anything, I just figured it was a little more popular in HN/YC.
Depending on what kind of app the Rails stack is operating...it would follow the same exact pattern as Chat vs Photo Sharing in nodeJS as in the article. A Rails app running a JSON API server would do pretty well, and basically has the same boilerplate as the node hackathon thingy built in, plus a few extra gems.
I…don’t understand the point of the article? Ok Ruby is duck typed and has a dynamic runtime. It has for…all of the time since it was created. Rails has magic… since…all of the time since it was created.
I’m not even defending Ruby or Rails here. Use at your own benefit/risk…as with every other programming language and framework.
So far, just for proof of random stranger concept, it's just on lower traffic beta listing websites, and a few low traffic websites. So, mostly cold web traffic leads, with a possible slightly higher bias to sign up based on the type of site sending them.
A previous venture, while not measured with the same accuracy, had less than half of the conversion of similar traffic at the same stage.
For myself, using Asana falls into the the don't love, but don't hate, category. The UI is pretty nice, but I always feel it just doesn't have enough teeth for complex project/collaboration. I mean, I see it has a lot of features to facilitate that need(project, hierarchical tasks, attachments, commenting), but it doesn't convey 'serious business'.
Is it me, or is dealing with Stripe, or any HTTP API in javascript more of a pain in the ass, with it's asynchronous model and callbacks, than other languages? I much rather deal with and API in say...Ruby, than JS.
The only thing I haven't really seen on their 'Quick Start' and 'Guides' site is any examples that show retrieving data from an API. Are those out there and I didn't see them?
This isn't the first time introverted entrepreneurship has been brought up, but I hope I can add to the discussion. Being introverted can lead to many days being drained doing 'marketing' and others on endless hour coding binges.
I know there is a large sentiment at HN that the Daily Standup is dead, or an anti-pattern. However, the truth is Agile and Scrum are still huge. Plus, most do not have a say in the methodologies they use at their job. Why not try and make the most out of it!
I have been working on solving a problem I have experienced the pain of, with Standups that get drawn out way too long, get off course, or are just unorganized with remote team members. I have virtualized standups to keep everyone up to date and organized with the teams standups. You can discuss particular standups or leave notes for all to see.
Lastly, my favorite feature, is TVMode, which is designed for large screens with high resolution. This read only, auto updating screen is great to show everyone your teams status.
I don't think it's harsh, I came here to say this exactly. It seems like it could be cool, but the websites and videos are almost overdone, for the lack of information, and most likely early stage they are probably at.
While it isn't necessarily the business of HN readers, I feel there may be a gap on communication between Stripe and the author. Either, it is being left out of the article, or the author just immediately threw their hands up.
