Surprised this is comment is not higher. Gatsby was one of the worst technologies I have worked with in my long career of working with various JS libraries and frameworks. Im sure the team is smart and capable, but I would not be advertising their work with Gatsby.

Same thing here. Would be great if the email gives an idea of what the estimated cost will be from each service. Guess we will just have to wait for the first bill.

Early in my career I referenced your article on the js module pattern constantly, and referred it to several team members. I still use it to this day on some occasions. Cheers!

I have a few, but the ones I get the most use out of is a scraper that checks two very popular campground in CA right at midnight when new reservations open up, and reports back what is available. I have plans to automate the purchasing of the sites if they meet certain criteria, but alas always busy with paid work.

Metaprogramming in elixir (i.e. macros) will definitely feel like magic to most. It allows for really powerful abstractions, but doubtful the new guy would have been able to be productive in a month in a large codebase full of them. Your standard phoenix app, yes it is fairly straightforward.

Helium (HNT) is a competitor in this space, and does pay out (in their crypto token of course, though it has been doing very well lately). We have one at my house, and it has been making several thousand a month in tokens.

You can add retry logic in your genServer, but for anything but the most simple use cases, you would want to add a Supervisor and define a retry strategy.

Apples to Oranges.

Shopify allows non devs to easily set up an ecommerce store, that is their biggest value add. Things like inventory management, shipping, site hosting etc.

Shopify has an app store, similar to apple's app store. This is what the article is referring to.

Your mobtime app does not look like it was built with hyperapp, but instead is using ferp.

New comment by paultannenbaum in "Gatsby raises $28M Series B led by Index Ventures"

paultannenbaum — Wed, 27 May 2020 17:12:05 +0000

Currently working on a project using gatsby, have had some big wins but other things have been a pain. The single biggest feature you get is SSR rendering for an application built in react. There are lots of little goodies like Gatsby Image and Gatsby Link that are actually really awesome.

I personally am not that huge of a fan of the graphQl layer, we have been using it with basic use cases and still have run into issues with it.

Definitely not a revolutionary framework or tech, but for its use cases it does work.

Sorry was typing on my phone and didn't clarify. I have a friend who works at Allbirds and told me they are strongly looking at migrating because of the down time issues.

They do, but I think they are considering moving off of Shopify. The reality is that shopify has a ridiculous amount of down time, and any high traffic store will actually be losing real revenue as a result. Just scroll their status page, they consistently have several outages a month.
