sosedoff··on Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Built Pgweb (Postgres GUI) some time ago since I could not find a good minimalistic database explorer.

https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb

The app is super simple, made with Go + jQuery and I still use it almost every day, and has brought it to every single company I've been with.

sosedoff··on Ask HN: Kibana like data explorer UI for PostgreSQL?
Not sure what kind of issues you're having with search, but it's pretty straightforward to browse table data with a filter on a single column (be it numerical or text data). Im the author - shoot me an email (in profile) if you have any questions.

If you need a lightweight web UI for Postgres - have a look at https://sosedoff.github.io/pgweb/
sosedoff··on Show HN: Schedule periodic jobs on Heroku with Cron
I dont think there's any competition with Google here, CronRunner is tailored specifically for Heroku.
sosedoff··on Show HN: Schedule periodic jobs on Heroku with Cron
There is no dependency graph between the jobs, i think this would be the case for a specialized tool. Cronrunner is very simple when it comes to job definition.

As for cron jobs, there's a bit of validation involved. The jobs are not executed with the old cron daemon, im using cron-like implementation in my stack. The logs are produces by Heroku platform so im just saving those, no magic at all.

sosedoff··on Show HN: Schedule periodic jobs on Heroku with Cron
Hi HN,

This is a small project that i've been meaning to launch for quite some time. Cronrunner is a job scheduler addon for Heroku applications, similar to standard scheduler but more powerful: you can define jobs with cron, set timezone, see history and receive error notifications. No need to setup webhooks or background jobs.

I've been using this addon internally for many months and finally decided to clean up and make a public site. The addon is not listed on the marketplace yet, i just need a bunch of test users to try it out, once it's done i can move it to the beta phase.

Feedback/ideas are highly appreciated!

Not sure if something is broken, but after i created a codemason server i cant delete it - there's no button to do that.

sosedoff··on Show HN: Gitkit – Toolkit to build Git push workflows with Go
There are a few issues and PRs that i opened myself, but aside from that there weren't many contributions from other developers. I can't really say the project is under active development, but it's definitely useful enough, at lease for my use cases.
sosedoff··on Show HN: Gitkit – Toolkit to build Git push workflows with Go
For anyone wondering what this is: it's tool to build flows like "git push to X". I've built a few internal tools that use this package, mostly for deployment purposes similar to Heroku (but based on Docker).

The toolkit consists of 2 pieces: the server (http/ssh based) and push receiver. The server component provides the git repository endpoint and permission handling, and the receiver piece allows to setup the logic flow, like what to do with the push and ability to read the push tree structure and run some commands against it.

I've created this package some time ago, but decided to post just now, maybe someone will find it useful.

Thanks!

sosedoff··on Ask HN: How did you find your great side project idea?
My side projects ideas usually revolve around a problem or just plain curiosity. Some stick while others don't. Most of them, however, are tools that help with work stuff. My last side project that i still use almost every day since 2013 is pgweb - https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb
sosedoff··on Show HN: Using Heroku as a distributed load testing platform
Ha, i was thinking the same but instead of making config files for load testing i wanted to create an extension that could produce capybara rspec files for rails apps based on my browser activity.

sosedoff··on Real-time crash reporting tool Sentry raises $9M
Great news! We've been using hosted Sentry for a while (couple of years) and it works really well for its price. Highly recommended. P.S Has anyone tried Golang support yet?
sosedoff··on Glot.io: Open Source pastebin with runnable snippets and API
Check another similar tool BitRun - https://bit.run/ Very good for rapid prototyping.
sosedoff··on Being a “dumb” girl in Computer Science
When i read something like this it always brings up some memories back from the college times. Back then i had some interesting experiences and knowledge, while most of the students were interested in fields different from anything CS-related. To my surprise, when i got into assembly class i had a very weird feeling of being dumb just because it was not always clear to me how the this whole machine world was operating. Other students got it right away. But i was confused. I wasn't really interested in speaking up, so i just studies, but it took me some time to finally "get it" as in really understanding how the machine worked. But it took more than that. A lot of students were still confused even though they understood the basics, so i took i tried to help out and it turned out to be so much fun. It does not have to be that hard, it all about your interests and intentions.

sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
pgweb is pretty new, so it wont have all features that pgadmin offers, but at least you dont have to install any dependencies. check github readme for feature list.
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
Currently no, but ability to specify connection settings from web interface will be implemented. Its one of the items on todo list.
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
Same here, that's the reason why pgweb was created.
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
Did you mean column value inline edit? If so, yes, thats going to be implemented at some point.
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
This is just a start, there're lots of features in roadmap (not in repo yet). Im trying to model pgweb after Sequel Pro (http://www.sequelpro.com/), which is MySQL and OSX only. Some of the features you mentioned will be available in upcoming releases.
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
That looks cool, similar to https://www.jackdb.com/
sosedoff··on Pgweb: Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go
Author here. Im still new to Go language and the way pgweb is structured is not the best, but it works for now. Pull requests are always welcome!
