As a tangential point, I run a tool that lets you manage a HN style community - hellobox.co - would love for you to try it out if you like!

Have you got a side project? :)

without much fanfare... and I quickly moved onto another project.
But if I remember correctly, the creators of SailsJS went through YCombinator program with a product called Treeline
Not sure what happened to that product, but I do remember when it was released, there was a concern about what would happen to SailsJS.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe in terms of framework on NodeJS, Express is... the most widely used and sufficient enough for Rails-like MVC?
For JS, Vue.js probably. Though I'm still using Backbone + Marionette.
I've used PowerDNS, which was a breeze for me. It's super efficient too. So I set up my DNS on a very cheap VPS on Vultr ($5/month) and everything has been running well.
I do wish PowerDNS had a better web interface, but hey it does the job.
I don't know where to stand. One side, maybe you need all these red-tapes so that you don't get in any trouble. But this makes me feel like things are not going to progress and people will eventually turn away.
Haven't we already seen too many examples like this? Things start small, they get popular, people jump in to use, then things get political and it dies out.
I think Freelancer as a company though has somewhat of a positive feel here in Australia (correct my if I'm wrong fellow Aussies).
It's probably seen as one of the better tech products from Australia and its CEO Matt Barrie is at times outspoken about the aussie startup scene, lack of innovation in Australia etc [1][2].

I have a platform where my customers can use their own domain. But I am not sure of an easy (automated) way of doing this using LetsEncrypt.
There was a post awhile back that explained how Etsy does it (https://codeascraft.com/2017/01/31/how-etsy-manages-https-an...)
But it was wwaayy too much for a small startup like me.
I can think of a manual way of course.

(Looks like Froala also gives a block-based design in addition to their rick text editor)
As we continue to insert and embed a variety of content types into these editors, I feel like this approach is more suitable. Any thoughts?

Been running it for good 4 years now. Do a little bit of maintaining here and there. I first did it in a hackathon and won a 2nd prize, thought I'll run with it and it's fun. :)
Anyway, the funny thing is, I'm running it on $2.50/month Vultr VPS. I got so worried when it crossed 30,000 that my site will crash. But it didn't. Then when its views got higher, I optimized further. I learned more things about how to make things faster. I refactored my code to squeeze out that much more juice out of $2.50 - not because I'm cheap (well, perhaps), but because I wanted to see how far I can push it.
I'll probably cross 200,000 soon and I think by then I'll need to increase it to (yikes heaven forbid!) $5/month plan.
Recently, just because of all the hype about AWS (in general and also at my work) I wanted to get started with AWS. Then I looked at their ridiculous pricing calculation page and I just closed the browser. I thought my time was better spent working on my project than learning about how to deploy a simple PHP application to AWS.
