What are the newer more modern frameworks? How are they better than Rails?

Can't we move on from JS for the backend? It is a brittle and confusing langugage. Author of JS the good parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc5Np9OqDHU

Valid feedback. Thank you

Hawker.social a Reddit/Twitter alternative that I launched earlier this year

Hey HN, I wanted to throw my hat into the ring for an alternative to Reddit. Earlier this year, I bootstrapped and soft launched a reddit-like platform that incorporates some of the features I liked from twitter.

How Hawker.social works: 1. Your individual account also has it’s own feed (twitter basically) 2. You can create a community like reddit 3. You can create a private room within your community and charge a recurring or one time membership fee.

The site is www.hawker.social if you want to check it out. Welcoming all feedback and suggestions.

You might be interested to a look at hawker.social. It combines reddit with features of Patreon (subscriptions) and discord (sub channel). You can also use it as a substack style publication!

When using Cloud66 for Rack/Rails i found scaling new servers takes more that 45mins because it books from metal. Have they improve this?

There is no contract so he isn't entitled to anything. To be on the safe side, you need to make sure that none of his work is used by the company. Eg redesign the logo. If you must use it, find a way to pay him for it. Form the company with just you and the existing IP asap.

It is a welcome party to say you are now part of the capital markets. Now there is a ticking time bomb for you to make the investor class more rich.

"Last time I checked the network requests, I noticed it was storing the card on Stripe, CCBill, and Securion, but using CCBill or Securion to process the payment."

Im curious about how to use Stripe to only store cards and let other processors make the charge. Would anyone have more info on this? Greatly appreciate it.

This is nice for remote companies. We went to the pain of trying to get a good price Kaiser group plan but found out that Kaiser doesn't operate in other states that we have employees in.
