> We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis.

Fly.io and Render.com are alternatives to Heroku. How do the two compare in terms of maturity? Can they both be trusted with production apps?

> Some apps that I purchased before in full, later turned into subscription based apps(giving me a year of free subscription). This made me feel bad and I lost my warm and fizzy feelings towards these apps.

> That said, I understand why they are doing it. It doesn't make sense whatsoever to receive one time payment and provide updates forever.

This. While justified, so many apps messed up the switch to subscriptions.

We recently switched our app Genius Scan to a subscription model, but tried to do it The Right Way: users who had purchased the pro features automatically got subscribed to our Plus plan for life.

New users will have to subscribe though, as it's the only way to be sustainable.

We also introduced a new plan, Ultra, with more advanced features. This way, we still get a chance for long time users to support us if they upgrade to the Ultra plan.

Ask HN: Static Website Generator and CRM

bvrlt — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 08:25:44 +0000

Hello,

I'm looking for a combination of a static website generator combined with a CRM.

I want a static website generator to have speedy pages (eg. I'd like to avoid tools like Squarespace or Webflow that end up generating slow websites).

I'd like the website, the blog to be easily editable by the marketing and communication teams. Ideally by reusing predefined "components" so that we keep a unified style throughout our pages.

Is this something that has been solved?

Thanks!

We didn’t ask for it. Corporations made it desirable.

Hydro isn't the panacea. It's destroying ecosystems. Climate change is a problem but the biodiversity collapse another one.

Wouldn't a healthier ecosystem better handle mosquitoes, though? Predators of mosquitoes are bats, birds, fishes, frogs…

What are alternatives to Google Analytics for mobile? We'd just like to collect basic events (eg. this feature has been used), number of active users, OS usage… nothing fancy.

Same here.

There are alternatives to Google Inbox (Spark, Superhuman - that I just discover) but I don't want to add a third-party that can read my emails.

Given that Inbox is sunsetting and the trust issues I have with Google in general, it's the first time since I created my Gmail account that I'm considering moving to something different.

If Fastmail or Protonmail had the Inbox features such as Snooze and grouping of emails with the quick "Archive", I wouldn't hesitate a second.
