Generally speaking VAST tags are provided by the ad network you are using to run your campaign - e.g. Doubleclick etc.

As someone who previous created custom VAST and VPAID tags, let me give you the…

Ah.. great minds!

This is already in development and is going to be released shortly, along with another feature that we're super excited to release. Watch this space 😉

Here is my list, although recently I went on a culling spree to reduce some of these subscriptions:

• Photoshop (Photopea is just as good)
• Microsoft Office 365 (sometimes I just need to be able to…

Curious to know how it all started... was there some inflection point that made the Basecamp team decide to build a new email product?

I think Indinero does this - their core offering is accounting for small business, but they layer on CFO services with their software which allows you to get insights and better forecasting…

Oh yeah, I think the most popular payment method was phone bill based. That required partnering with various carriers or other companies, which was harder for smaller startups.

I only targeted a few devices, mostly Nokia devices.

Independent apps weren't much of a thing back then. In those days, mobile apps were used more as a bonus to some other subscription service you…

I remember building apps as Java Applets and distributing it as a Jar file.

The memory gives me shivers. Debugging across devices was very painful.

Distribution is a strong word, but it was done by…

The biggest player in the API driven voice/sms space is Twilio.

Zoho CRM has integrations for both calls and SMS via Twilio.

Teachable is one of the bigger players in this space, and they allow you to fully brand the site to your own company / brand.

If you dont mind launching under someone else's brand, Udemy might be a…

We are using Algolia here at Capiche too, the time savings are totally worth it when you are starting out.

You can always change in the future if your search system gets heavy traffic and the bill…

Algolia is not too expensive unless you are using in with very high traffic.

One of the best ways to reduce costs in search is to use ElasticSearch. You will need to do a bit of devops for…

No, price wasn't an issue, the main deal breaker was that all the software I tried had too much overhead.

• I tried taking a photo of the receipt and uploading to Google Drive - organizing in drive…

I have looked for software that handles this well for YEARS. I have never come across anything that works. I only have 2 criteria:

1. Low overhead enough to be used diligently.
2. Not too expensive.

You can use localization to display different prices.
A really simple way to do this is to use something like Maxmind to detect location, and then display the correct pricing for that location.

That's a good point - I think a lot of techies prefer to use APIs to build a complete export function, something that they can easily customize to accommodate the import process.

One export I used…

Thanks for the tip - I looked into Datadog but it seems their main focus is logs, even though they do have an APM.

One other thing I noticed is that Newrelic has a really nice integration with ruby -…

What is your VIM setup?

I use Janus mostly (with a few customizations), but have played around with SpaceVIM too.

I have used NewRelic and AppSignal. NewRelic is quite good but expensive, especially as the number of servers grow.
Curious to know what others are using and recommend?

Thanks for the tip on anonymous ids - we are not using them for our identify calls to Segment. I think if we implement anonymous ids, it will help tie everything together.

I think using containers is the next step beyond VMs, and your application sounds like a good use case.
I have also seen containers used a lot in online editors or anywhere that code needs to be…
