I'll be hanging around the comments for a while. Please feel free to check out https://familio.life/ and let me know your feedback.

I'm seeing it too. Although API's still seem to be working ok.

Yeah, that's an important distinction. Once text analaysis gets better, I think it will be important to mix the results.

I wouldn't be surprised if it this is powered by Clearbit. A lot of companies seem to be reselling the data bought from Clearbit.

Intercom uses another company for their data too: https://docs.intercom.io/help-and-faqs/your-users-data-in-in...

Thanks for the update. That is awesome. Excited to see what people do with it.

As a former user of Kafka, this is awesome and it would have been a huge help for our company if this was available then. I'm glad to hear that a company is offering Kafka as opposed to other propriety versions(AWS Kinesis etc).

One thing is odd though, there is no mention of disk space at all and only a configuration of retention time. One of Kafka's best features is the use of disk to store large amounts of messages, you are not RAM bound. Heroku seems to only allows you to set retention times? This could be awesome if they are giving you "unlimited" disk space, but could also be a beta oversight. Interested to see how this progresses.

Very sweet. I'm excited to see some of the more popular Zaps that get published.

That feature has been requested a lot and is on the backlog. Just trying to figure out how to make it super easy and intuitive :)

Any ideas?

I just pushed an update to handle that case. It will not delineate commas and new lines as separate items.

Very Cool. I really like that use case. Works really with with iMessage

Yeah, definitely. That is definitely a feature on backlog. Coming soon :)

Try it for your grocery shopping list. That use case is what gave me the idea to build it.

So handy to just shoot a text instead of opening an app and navigating to the right list.

Yup, I'm using Twilio. Super easy to use and pretty low cost. Not free, but makes life really easy.

That is very cool idea. I love saving the context there. It may be really cool to send an SMS contact too. That would make it one step less than the copy and paste.

I wasn't. What is it?

I'm rolling out that feature in a few hours. I was a bit ambitions, but it will be `send to {{number}}`. Glad to hear that you found this as an important feature. I think it will be valuable too :)

Hi, I created this tool because I really wanted it. Let me know if there are any features you would love to see. Hope you find it as useful as I do!

Came here to say the same thing. Know a few people who work there and they are doing some cool things.

I love how they work in the public and really advocate open source. One cool project is their analytics reporter: https://github.com/18F/analytics-reporter

I also think a lot has to do with language and deployment. Etsy uses PHP for their entire codebase. PHP can be easily hot swapped without any overhead. It's all scaffolded and thrown out every pageview. This provides a much simpler deploy process and has much less impact.

Java on the other hand takes time to warm up. It just isn't practical to redeploy the whole app when you are just updated one aspect.

I made a port of some Scala Monads to Javascript. Mostly, Option and Either. Makes for some really nice, and you won't find yourself doing (typeof foobar === "undefined").

Nope, it probably isn't best for performance. It wasn't my call to make, and it has been operating like that for years.

But for data stability, I see why it was done. It is a trade off, one that we may reconsider down the line.

Edit: Misread the question. I'm not exactly sure, but it significantly improves speed, enough for us to complete the migration, then switch it back on during production.

One note: when running on a VM, it seems not to flush to disk regardless of the OS setting. Probably because of the virtualization software

These are some great tools. I would also like to recommend Scumr. It really helps our teams with our morning stand-up meetings. Notifies when we are the meeting starts, and when everyone is ready. Allows the meetings to be persistent too. Check it out: http://www.scrumr.us/

Full disclosure: I wrote the tool during a work hackathon. It has come a long way since then.

Hi Guys, Please feel free to leave any comments or feedback. I started it during a hackathon last week, and decided to finish up the product to MVP. Hopefully it will be useful for all of you.

Cheers.
