This is something I've considered doing for years after dealing with the likes of Clickbank, etc. I'd love to pick your brain for your requirements. How can I get in touch?

The Dokku Trap 10 years ago

Wait until you run out of disk while running PostgreSQL with dokku. That's an adventure I don't want to have to repeat.

We've been seeing a huge number of messages sent through Google Groups via our Google Apps domain flagged as spam. I'm not sure what has triggered it lately, but it's almost impossible for us to communicate through our Google Groups email addresses anymore.

Currently working on a SaaS to help online furniture retailers (and eventually any retailer) increase customer engagement, conversions, and lower returns.

On the weekends, I'm working on a super easy photo-prints-on-demand service: https://keepsakemail.com/

Connect to Instagram - pick photos - enter payment and shipping details. One flat rate shipped anywhere. Reply to your email receipt and mention this HN comment and I'll refund half of your payment as a discount :)

Looks great!

Search could still be vastly improved by adding some sort of "activity" rating that factors in last update with number of recent downloads and sort search results by most active. That way we can make use of well-supported and/or actively maintained modules rather than dead ones.

My company is currently offering "web forwarding" to our customers for free, but this service outsourced to the same third-party that provides our DNS hosting. While the DNS service is rock solid, the redirection service has had many shortcomings including delays in updating redirects, caching issues, etc.

This was one of a few ideas we had for bringing this in-house. I've seen other DNS-configured redirection services, but nothing with the flexibility we'd need to offer our customers to match what they're currently getting. I thought I'd do a quick mock-up of the idea and put it out there to get some feedback.
