adieu··on CoreBGP – Plugging in to BGP
Actually I'm quite satisfied with the performance.

The main reason I'm considering using CoreBGP directly is that in order to use the evpn project I'm building, the user has to setup a GoBGP instance which might cause problems.

Embedding GoBGP just like kube-router[0] did might be a good idea too. Thank you for the advice.

adieu··on CoreBGP – Plugging in to BGP
I'm using rpc calls to GoBGP to get routes for my evpn project. Using CoreBGP as a library and talk directly to other peers might be a better idea.
adieu··on “Let’s use Kubernetes.” Now you have eight problems
k8s is raw technology like linux kernel. You shouldn't use it directly which will be hard to maintain. There are bunch of packaged solutions around k8s like Google GKE or AWS EKS. By leverage them, you'll be working on a higher level of abstraction and bring productivity back.

cue[0] might be another possible language for this problem

adieu··on How Do Developers Promote Open Source Projects?
There are many open source projects got submitted to HN everyday but not many got the chance to be upvoted to front page and attract traffic. So I built a service called Porter[1] to collect HN submissions, filter out news about open source projects and send digested email to subscribers. There is also a `explore` page[2] at Porter which will show the daily submitted projects. You can find from the page that only two or three projects get a lot of upvotes and many projects got zero upvote at all.

I was wondering if many users are using Porter, I might have a chance to bring traffic to those projects developed by solo developers and becoming good channel for promoting and discovering. But just like those open source projects, I have problem promoting my service too. I don't feel like to spam people by submitting the url everywhere. There are organic growth but it's not fast enough for me to put a lot of resource in it. I guess marketing for open source related projects and services is always a hard problem especially for solo developers.

EDIT: Those projects that got exceptional growth might have successfully attract traffic from HN. But just submitting your projects to HN does not guarantee any growth.

adieu··on Show HN: I Built a “Google Alerts” for Hacker News
We made a similar service called Porter[1] that people could subscribed to HN items related to their GitHub starred repos with digest email.

adieu··on Bringing Kubernetes Support to Azure Container Service
The correct link should be https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine :)
adieu··on The etcd operator: Simplify etcd cluster configuration and management
This is great news. We developed an internal controller managing etcd cluster used by kubernetes apiserver using third party resource too. The control loop design pattern works really well.
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
Sorry about that. Could you drop us an email at hi@porter.io with your GitHub account? We could manually add you to the list. We're trying to debug the problem. But it's hard to reproduce it since it only affects few people.
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
Maybe it's not cache that caused the problem. We host our website on Google Appengine which is global balanced. Maybe some cloudflare nodes just pick the wrong entrance.
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
Thank you for your feedbak. We'll look into this.
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
hmm...I'm running out of ideas. Which country are you in?
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
Scaled to a large instance with more instance. Should be stable for now.
adieu··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
We've been hit by the HN effect. Fixing it right now.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
Hora looks very nice. I see many people using different tools and methods to organize their favorite repos. If we could put those efforts together and standard things a bit (so no more angular and angularjs). The end result will help many others. We have plans to crawl npm, pypi and other platforms for tags data and make all those data available for everyone. Hope this could attract others with similar needs to join.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
You mean our service Porter.io ? We analyze starred repo of our user and recommend news based on similarity and popularity . And we have bunch of ideas to improve this.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
oops, sorry. will fix it.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
Yes, astral is a great tool. But our goal is different. We're trying to crowd source the tagging work so that most people don't have to tag repos any more. And the tagged data could be used by any Github related services or anyone who wants to study open source projects.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
hmm... Sounds doable. I'll try to gather more ideas about the structure, but we definitely should put a README file in the repos folder to explain things a little bit. Is it possible that you could open an issue in the repo and put your ideas there? Thank you so much.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
The demo page we built is a simple showcase of what could be done with the tagging data. Hope it could inspire more people to play with this dataset. "sort by relevance" sounds cool. Might add it to the demo in the future.
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
That bothers us too. We choose this structure to make commit message more meaningful. Any suggestions to improve this?
adieu··on Show HN: Tagging all GitHub repos
We use pjax to make users navigating through our site easier. It might be a bug in the frontend. Will fix it asap. Thank you for your feedback.
adieu··on Porter Plug – Display related HN stories right on GitHub repo page
Thank you for your suggestion. We're planning to add more related info about GitHub repos and replacing growth graph block. Never thought about the Graph section before. Might be a good place to place the growth graph. One concern is that our user might not know we have enhanced the graph section and never use this feature.
