In every company I worked at, Salesforce and HubSpot has been a struggle. The sync breaks, the Salesforce logs are hard to decipher. We had a full-time person dedicated to reconciling the billing with the CRM, and even sometimes manually syncing them yeesh. Im sure they’d be thankful for any tools that could help - happy to connect you if you’d like. Info in my profile

Out of curiosity, how do you guys detect sync issues? Will you handle the reverse-ETL side as well?

Redis explained 4 years ago

Very informative and love the illustrations.

I'm building a new website and am using sidekiq for background job processing which relies on redis behind the scenes to store all the job data. I configured a high availability redis instance with `maxmemory-policy noeviction` to ensure no data is lost.

The website is still in its infancy so not thinking about scale for the next little while but curious if you have any tips or gotchas to keep an eye out for. Thanks!

Wefunder | Full-stack Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time

Wefunder is like "Kickstarter for investing". We've helped fund 204 startups and small businesses including flying cars, space rockets, breweries, hollywood studios, and potential Ebola cures. Every company we've funded is full of amazing stories.

We're the largest regulation crowdfunding platform currently on the market. We're growing and need to add reinforcements!

We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We're reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley.

If interested email nick@wefunder.com with why you'd like to work for us. Brownie points: include a survival skill you'd offer the team in a post-apocalyptic world.

Services (unlike products) are typically constrained by the number of personnel available.

How does Amazon determine a company's availability when a customer books a job?

Most of these business I'd guess are probably in the 1-10 people range and probably not the most tech savvy. I can't imagine an adequate solution unless Amazon provides scheduling software and enforces adoption.

Are there any plans for a coinbase integration?

Not that I spend my bitcoins often but it if I did I would have to manually update it within the app. With a coinbase integration it would just be in sync.

What to cook for dinner is a recurring problem in my house, and this feature makes it really easy to try out new dishes and get ideas.

My only complaint is that they try to obscure prices. Item prices only appear upon hover or if they appear on the side they're grayed out and difficult to find. It resembles fine print.

I'm watching your repo to see how it evolves, I like the structure of your api. Best of luck.

Regarding Formance, it uses jQuery to setup the necessary event listeners to provide the field formatting.

On the other note snake-cased is a preference, I would happily provide camelCased if there is demand.

The demo was just meant to show what you can do with the formatters and the validators.

Those error prompts are not part of the library. In the demo, I setup some event listeners that get triggered on 'keyup change blur'. In the callback function, the value of the input field is validated and a message is shown to the user.

Maybe for your needs, it can be triggered on 'blur'. Or you even create your own setup. Formance.js simply provides the formatters and validators, and you can plug and play however you see fit.

You make a good point, I'm not familiar with many of these libraries. Can you please provide some links.

I'm familiar with:

- Stripe jQuery.payment.js (formance is based on this project, extended beyond payment forms) https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment

- Masked Input (good for basic formatting, and does not include validating) https://github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput

- Validate.js (does not include formatting) http://rickharrison.github.io/validate.js/

I'd love to chat with you some time if you're available. Just to pick your brain, and see what advice you received.

interesting, do you remember any of their names.

What was the problem with those apps?

Empowering Email 14 years ago

I was thinking along those lines as well. It would be great if a user could add a widget that would parse the text of the opened email and present the user with the action items of the email.

I liked the ability to be able to use the service from any client. And see the widget as an extension that would increase the usability.

The biggest barrier I believe is people learning the language in the first place to be able to perform these action items.

Empowering Email 14 years ago

I agree that it is a major concern, and we're trying to break down this barrier by making the language as human readable as possible.

Siri doesn't replace email, they perform different functions.

Email is sticking around for the foreseeable future. Mailcules hopes to facilitate a variety of these workflows you achieve through email. Eventually you can replace writing emails with voice recognition.
