picsoung··on Show HN: I made an open-source marketplace to fasten OAuth API integrations
Nice work Corentin!

I have been using Pizzly for some recent hacks on Airtable and Monday.com, and it helped me building oauth flow directly into a full frontend app. Really useful.

picsoung··on Ask HN: Modern framework to create forms and store its results
(disclaimer: I work for Typeform)

Typeform is the perfect tool for this, people have used it to create "user profile" and present recommendations depending on what they answered. (check BeardBand example: https://www.typeform.com/blog/inspiration/beardbrand-persona...)

You can also accept Payments directly on the typeform using Stripe, no need to code that part. There are plenty of salons, freelancers and businesses that use this feature to power their business. (https://help.typeform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029570591-Pay...)

You can connect your Typeform to many other tools to automate other tasks like adding customers to a mailing list, a loyalty program, or create a calendar event. (you can get an overview over here: https://typeform.com/connect, we also integrate with connectors like Zapier, Integromat, Parabola...)

Hope it helps! Good luck kickstarting this business!

picsoung··on I made $5,428.91 in 3 days with a side project
Looking great! Congrats!

To keep the momentum you probably need other websites to talk about your project or engage developers that bought it to talk about it.

Either with quotes on their social media, or being picked in an article like "10 best tools for devs" You can even write your own for HackerNoon or Dev.to

I am curious what do you use the Typeform for?

picsoung··on Ask HN: Best API Management Platform?
Let's chat about it over email ;) I am sure we can help.

Also we announced today our on-prem solution https://www.3scale.net/2017/04/go-anywhere-api-management-3s...

picsoung··on Ask HN: Best API Management Platform?
yes, if you could define for example that people should be charge X per month.

Create yourself an account on 3scale.net and you should be able to see all the features, it's free for 30days

picsoung··on Ask HN: Best API Management Platform?
Yes, users are asked to put their credit card credentials, and then we generate an invoice, and charge their cards.

We use Stripe, Ogone, Braintree or Adyen as payment providers, and money goes directly into your account, we don't take any cut.

picsoung··on Ask HN: Best API Management Platform?
Hi :) Disclaimer: I work for 3scale.

The 3scale solution is pretty easy to install on your existing API.

3scale offers an API Gateway that could cloud-hosted or self-hosted. The API Gateway will sit in front of your existing API and will enforce the rules you would have setup in 3scale.

On 3scale backend, you have settings to answer the following questions regarding your API: - what's the auth mechanism? API key, a pair of keys, oAuth? - what is the rate limiting in place? on the whole API, on a specific endpoint - what are the different user personas? Free Hacker plan vs. Business partner with high SLA - what is the price to use the API? free, flat fee, per per request, pay per 1000s requests.. - How is the Developer Experience? Having a Developer portal in place.

It's very flexible, and you can go really deep in the configuration. But you are right, it may seem overwhelming at first. Think big ;) Having this API management solution in place when you have only one or two people using it, will help you start of a good base, and when you are ready to grow, everything will be there already.

Also... think about the amount of time you will spend building a custom solution vs. the amount of time you should spend improving the API itself.

Feel free to reach out if you want to continue the conversation :) nicolas@3scale.net

picsoung··on Ask HN: Recommondations for API authentication and rate limiting
3scale is at the moment partially closed-course, but with recent Red Hat acquisition there are plans for open source as detailed here: http://venturebeat.com/2016/06/22/red-hat-acquires-api-manag...

Happy to show you around 3scale product :)

picsoung··on Heroku2scalingo: migrate from Heroku to Scalingo in a minute
I am using them for many months, works great for most of my projects, easy to maintain, easy to scale.

Love that they support Meteor natively, without a specific buildpack to install.

picsoung··on Show HN: Getting an Uber ride with the Amazon dash button

picsoung··on Ask HN: Is Meteor.js mature to enough to use it for building big applications?
I would say Yes, the framework provides a great core of tools to start building your applications.

Then they are plenty of packages, some officials, some supported by the community, to answer most of the common issues you will face.

It's very modular, and could fit many different needs. From a small hack, to an MVP, to a bigger project that scales.

There is a growing number of dev shops who are working with Meteor.

Personally I am using it to maintain http://apis.io as well as http://speedhack.io.

picsoung··on Show HN: Discover your ranking on GitHub
I am pretty surprised by my ranking in San Francisco :) 86 in Lua devs? not so many Lua devs around ...

Also, it seems that some of my repo are not taking into account, like https://github.com/picsoung/uberSlackBot which has 13 stars.
