I align with your thinking.

I find the question of the existence of god a nonquestion. Invented looking for an answer in a space without one.

I think it stems from our incredible ability to learn, and struggle to unlearn.

However, I think we are on the verge of having an understanding of the universe in which learning will be seen as a fundamental part of physical reality.

Where gods are to the people who have them as real as they think they are. Only that they are real in the space of their minds, and no where else.

Given this, I think we’ll soon see the gap between our incoherent internal reality and coherent external reality narrow.

It looked like they were using the Prusa I3 MK3S.

Everything depends on configuration. Redis can be very durable/reliable if configured accordingly.

Premature optimization or not. We care about the experience and want it to be as good as possible. /R

Thanks. Would be happy really if we got it working with CloudFlare! /R

I actually looked at Fastly just a few days ago. Unfortunately their custom SSL fees are a bit high. But seems really nice and will definitely do a write-up if we try them.

Pingdom's response time report is really nice. We also used LoadImpact to test it against "flash mobs" :)

I wish we could use CloudFront. Unfortunately they charge a bit for custom SSL ($600/zone/mo). Not that fun for a startup. Are you also using that? /R

New comment by typerandom in "Ask HN: What services should be included as UserApp add-ons?"

typerandom — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:22:34 +0000

OP here.

Point taken!

Payment processing, social login and welcome/confirmation emails is on top of our list!

The "launching soon" page is thought as a nice 1st step for people that haven't launched their app yet but still want to get users into UserApp. But we're not going to become like another LaunchRock, so no need to worry :)

Ask HN: What services should be included as UserApp add-ons?

typerandom — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:30:08 +0000

We recently launched UserApp (www.userapp.io), a User Management SaaS, and have now begun working on add-on functionality.

The question: If you were using UserApp, then what services would you see as "must have" for your business?

Some services that we are looking on integrating:

1: Sync users to newsletter/email services (MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Customer.io)

2: Payment processing (Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Coinbase)

3: Welcome email and password reminders (Sendgrid, Mandrill)

4: Social login (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail)

5: Referral program

6: Launching soon page (LaunchRock)

7: Analytics (MixPanel)

If you have any other ideas on what we should integrate, please share :)

Ironic indeed. Must suck to be statuspage.io right now.

Has gone up and down for me the last 30 minutes. But it's fully down now.

OP here.

I totally agree. Don't know how we could miss putting it up there. I will see to it that this gets the attention it needs on the front page. Thanks! :)
