jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What SaaS customer service tools does your startup use?
Cachet and StyleCI use Helpscout.

We've had no real qualms with it.

jbrooksuk··on Self-driving cars in the browser
I found that there is reverse, it just takes a while sometimes.

That said, they like to try and crash their way through... https://www.dropbox.com/s/rh76osvip4zavv4/2017-02-27%2016.10...

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What is your weekend project?
It's a bit more than a weekend project but I've been working on Cachet [1] for a while now.

jbrooksuk··on Show HN: Posters of Your GitHub Contributions
From the page...

    [...] because I'm rendering actual JPGs server-side so that the prints will be identical to the previews. I could probably do it much faster if I did it all client-side with SVGs, but I went with what I already knew. Maybe v2.0 will be more awesome.
jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What frameworks are currently used in a modern web stack?
I've never experienced performance issues due to users. I run https://styleci.io and we're absolutely fine dealing with thousands of users.

If you're running jobs, be sure to do so on the queue.

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What frameworks are currently used in a modern web stack?
Laravel, Nginx, PHP 7.0 and Postgres/MySQL.

jbrooksuk··on Pebble's next step
I'm surprised by this, Pebble and Fitbit always seemed like upstanding companies. To me, this is a dick move.

They could've said "reach out to Fitbit instead".

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What projects are you currently working on?
I'm working on Cachet, the open source status page.

It's very much something that I wish I had more time to spend on, so progress is slow at times, but we'll get there :)

jbrooksuk··on Twitter accidentally suspends its own CEO's account
twttr is what Twitter used to be known as, and Jack's tweet is in reference to https://twitter.com/jack/status/20
jbrooksuk··on Why we chose Vue.js
Side-project wise, we use Vue on StyleCI (https://styleci.io) and over the next few months we'll also be using it on Cachet (https://cachethq.io).

My experience started at work where we used it on an internal project. The ease of use was insane, we had something reactive and easy to work on in no more than 10 minutes. React has always had too big of a learning curve for us, so it'd have been a vanilla JS/jQuery mess if we hadn't found Vue.

We're now using it on almost any project we start (they're all very UI driven).

I met Evan You at Laracon earlier in the year, he's an awesome dude and has put a lot of thought into everything Vue. Thanks again for making Vue! :)

jbrooksuk··on Timing the time it takes to parse time
Parsing logs? Geo location?
jbrooksuk··on Most drivers who own cars with built-in GPS systems use phones for directions
My car has a speed limiter that I can turn on, but weirdly it can't be used in combination with cruise control. My use-case here would be cruising at one speed, then speeding up a bit to get around someone (think motorway/highway), but I don't want to go above the speed limit.
jbrooksuk··on Offer HN: free logo redesign for open source projects – Part II
Cachet is an open source status page system. It's now used by thousands of companies around the world. We've had 50k+ pulls from Docker Hub alone!

jbrooksuk··on Show HN: A self-hosted alternative to StatusPage.io
Cachet offers metrics, dynamic localisation, theming and much more which would be hard to do for a static site.
jbrooksuk··on The Dropbox hack is real
Also, iCloud allow this.
jbrooksuk··on Introducing Stack Overflow Documentation Beta
Odd.

Couldn't find blog.stackoverflow.com The Q&A site blog.stackoverflow.com doesn't seem to exist…yet.

You can vote for it to be created through our democratic, community-driven process at area51.stackexchange.com, or see a complete directory of all our Q&A sites at stackexchange.com.

jbrooksuk··on [dead]
I'd disagree with "Know how to use Vim", why? I can use nano if I'm on a Ubuntu server (the only server I interact with).
jbrooksuk··on Run code inline in Atom using Jupyter kernels
Also, Sublime now has a Phantoms API which lets you insert content after (or blocked) the line.
jbrooksuk··on Atlassian Acquires StatusPage
Hey, Lead Developer of Cachet here! Thanks for sharing a link to our project!

@Everyone, if there is anything I can do to help, let me know! You can email us james@alt-three.com to discuss more.

jbrooksuk··on Open source is a life changer
Done!

I'd love to see Warden integrate with Cachet [0] as they'd go really well together!

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What did your 'Show HN' project turn into?
Thank you :)
jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What did your 'Show HN' project turn into?
I shared Cachet [0] 551 days ago, it's an open source alternative to the likes of StatusPage.io and Status.io. It's now used around the world by hundreds if not thousands of companies and I'm always seeing comments on others such as "I wish you could do X like Cachet." which is really cool.

I've made money only by selling an installation service, which is about £1k. I have further plans, but nothing more to add.

jbrooksuk··on Zend Framework 3 Released
As in Laravel Artisan? That's not a dependency manager.

Granted, Composer is slow, but it works so well, mainly when package developers tag and release packages properly though. What issues do you have with it?

jbrooksuk··on My condolences, you’re now the maintainer of a popular open source project
I maintain Cachet [1] which has 4.4k stars on it. I've closed several issues in a similar vein, only to be ranted at for not giving a reason. I shouldn't have to explain the same reason for the fifth time when you could've searched for it already — but hey, I appreciate the thoughts.

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: Patreon for open source?
I'm using Patreon for Cachet[0] and it works well enough that people can donate, but discovery lacks for projects which aren't media based. Also, I can't setup another Patreon page under the same account, so what about filling in the voids there?

The idea works, the implementation could be improved.

jbrooksuk··on New Sublime Text update
It's not that people often switch themes, it's that when you open Sublime, Package Manager updates themes and it has to reload them, which used to cause the UI glitches.
jbrooksuk··on New Sublime Text update
There is no public roadmap. Jon knows what he wants to achieve, but doesn't share those goals too often.
