rampatra··on Ask HN: Any Pygments (code syntax highlighter) alternatives?
Yes, if I don't get any good options in Java then I would go with either codemirror (used in the dev console in many browsers) or highlight.js
rampatra··on Ask HN: Any Pygments (code syntax highlighter) alternatives?
On the UI, of course. Do you mean to say that I can use some js libraries and do the highlighting on the client-side?
rampatra··on Ask HN: Any GitHub Gist Alternative?
Thanks for the reply. I actually wanted something already hosted so that I could host my code on their service and share it on my blog.
rampatra··on Ask HN: Any GitHub Gist Alternative?
Thanks, I gave it a try. It's different from Gist, however, this too doesn't have theme options. I actually wanted to customize the look of the code snippet to match my blog's theme (something in dark). https://blog.rampatra.com/how-to-add-search-in-jekyll
rampatra··on Detect users using Ad Blockers and log the same in Google Analytics
Yes, uBlock Origin does but Adblock and AdBlock Plus don't.

I think it's better to list this under "Show HN"

I know it's annoying but I enabled it for some time to compensate for the website maintenance expenses. However, I assure you that there would be only one ad per page, not more.

Lastly, if you know any other easy way to monetize then please do let me know.

Great article. How did you make those images with sliders? Any tool or library you used?
rampatra··on Spotify Interview in Stockholm for Backend Engineer II
yea, sorry for that. I added that recently to compensate for the website costs. Will turn it off after some days.

However, you would see only one ad on a page. Not more.

Yes, that's correct for my site currently. But what I had in mind is to have the invite code in the sheet itself and then when one submits, I check the entered code with the code in the sheet and then add/not add the rsvp.

However, due to timing constraints, I couldn't do this and instead used a simple encryption algorithm to have the hacker at least put in some effort to know the invite code :)

I will raise an issue on github for this.

Did you try 271117 as the invite code?
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
thanks a million :)
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
That's really sweet of you :)

Haha, how did you conclude I am Odia? By my last name?
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
It's not that complex. You can have a paypal.me address or set up a stripe account with buymeacoffee.com. There would be many more but these two are at the top of my mind now.

The most creative anniversary wish till now :D

Yes, I found it extremely helpful too. You can only RSVP if you have the invite code. If you don't then you can't RSVP.

You can store the code in a particular box in the sheet and then your google script can validate the code entered by the guest.

I won't spam you, don't worry :D
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
You're welcome. Hope it helps!
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
Yes, I agree. Appreciate the constructive feedback.
rampatra··on Show HN: Open-sourcing my wedding website on my first anniversary
Yes, I coded and she tested it. She also helped me with the color themes. Lastly, she was the final "go/no go", after all, she is the boss.

The only reason node_modules is there in the repo is because I have hosted the website on github (via github pages) no personal server. And github pages doesn't support `npm install` if you know what I mean. So I need to have all the files in the repo for github to serve my website.

If you have a personal server then you do not need node_modules folder in your repo. You can just do `npm install` in your server.

The project which I have linked here won't cost you a dime to set up. It will be hosted on github.com for free. My site is hosted on github too. No servers needed. Github also provides you with a default domain which you can use (and it recently started supporting https as well).

You only pay around $10 if you need your own custom domain.
