etattva··on Ask HN: What was the biggest contributor to your happiness in the past year?
1. Able to work in backyard on a beautiful day with kids playing around me in the summer. Loved it. 2. I had home gymn but never used much and now making good use of it. 3. Food automation: This was something big. We used to sepnd a lot of time cooking fresh food. Most of time spent is on the prep. I hate washing many dishes after every meal. Dishwasher helps but pig pots and pans, need to be done by hand. Then I found a solution. We made a sauce/paste from onion,jalepenos, garlic and 7-8 spices.Then anytime we want to cook, use this sauce to beans, chicken, minced meat, rice and under 10 minutes you get nice tasting fresh food. Have made 20 varities of food so far including orange chicken, chicken tikka. Launched this with the help of kids and wife. https://mealgenie.co/ Planning for a kick starter campaign now.

Forget about yelp and ranking and rating. Ithink the folks realize there is not a single US website that lists all the graduate schools and the courses details. We are talking about solving the next step of the problem when basic aggregation is missing.

But it is so hard for people to give reviews. People seem to give good review when are they are very pissed off or very happy. Later seems to be a very rare case.

Ha ha I know where you are going :) My take from the post was that there needs to be some information provided to end users based on which they should be able to decide what colleges to choose. Ranking thatis dictated by third parties cannot be a criteria. And student should not spend too much time emalining each and every college they are interested in.

collegescorecard measures the outcome. In the post, Profesor Leonard talks about doctoral programs being rated based on research outcomes.
etattva··on Used vue.js with laravel and my site is not SEO friendly anymore
With all these discussion, my question to this group is that should I stick with vue.js ? I was using data tables and developer advocated vue.js being much better and flexible, which I agree but then these SEO challenges. If I am on laravel framework, what options do I have to implement pagination and filter conditions in SEO friendly manner. I have seen some sites using Ajax but they change the url by incrementing a variable in the url.

How do I allow filtering to be done on client side? I am comparing with cargurs, aamozn wayfair, how to get that filter option on left and still keep content. I was think load content first and then load filter on left. This is what amazon does

etattva··on Ask HN: How to sell your app/side project while working full-time?
This advice has been given but from my experience, do not try to automate things unless you have enough customers and revenue. Spend time selling and promoting.
