Wow this is cool. I actually spent a lot of time developing a solution for this for the last company I worked for. I copied the Angular repos way of doing it. https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/aio/aio-build...

It's really well documented and made the whole process a lot less work. It works great for angular apps.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of services in this space and for larger teams working on the same product I see this solving an actual problem.

Congrats on launching, excited to see where this goes.


Hello, thanks for your comment!

I had a look at the angular way of doing it: very nice to see other approaches! From a quick look it does seem to require quite a bit more steps and to be more limited in scope, but the documentation looks very good indeed! Thanks for sharing!


Love the idea, couple ideas.

1. Restrict it to 3-4 people max in each elevator. 2. Add in audio and close the room in 1 minute.


Thanks!

Audio is definitely something we want. Had a nice elevator bell lined up! Will try to get that added sometime this week.

re #1, it would definitely be more usable with higher visitor traffic. One of our goals was to let people be in the same elevator if they send it to their friends, at the moment that is done by only having one elevator haha. Not ideal!


Lecturing is a good idea, even more so if you rarely lecture your parents back, which I assume a lot of children don't. This is something I did to my parents and it changed the way they are approaching this pandemic. Social distancing is happening here now and they have respected my thoughts and ideas since they're scared and trust the information I'm supplying them is valuable.


The pricing most definitely needs to be simpler. The calculations on there and numbers used will turn away a lot of people. Think simple simple simple when it comes to user facing messaging and pricing.


^couldnt agree more. both packaging and presentation of the subscription tiers being simplified would help imo. that said, certainly a/b test that!


Yep, fixed the presentation and pricing.

Damn, the lambda layers feature is super cool. By far some big downsides to lambdas besides cold starts were deployment times and dependency management. Super cool to see they are pushing this forward!

My manager goes out of his way to allow people who have passions for things onto smaller teams that work on those passions. Our company and our products are built because someone wanted to fix a problem and were given the time to do so. Playing to our strengths and helping us work on our weaknesses. No micro-manging involved, just trust and encouragement. Will lay the hammer down if needed in edge case situations but will also defend the team to the death from outside pressures and obstacles.


I highly recommend reading this book: https://www.amazon.com/Refactoring-Ruby-Jay-Fields/dp/032198...

Not only does it contain great code snippets but it also covers repeatable techniques that will ease your life as a ROR programmer immensely.


And there is a nice companion: http://www.poodr.com
