Hi, I'm a senior developer with a wide range of experience in scaling different software stacks, but primarily have specialized in backend with PHP with Laravel and have open source contributions to the framework and have extensive knowledge of the core.
My most recent project I've built myself is https://namepromo.com which is a cross platform service for desktop and mobile web and native mobile (iOS, and Android app stores) and has over 10,000 registered users and I manage a cluster of dedicated servers for the high bandwidth environment.
I'm looking for a new opportunity to work with a team and ship product features with interest in leading the engineering if needed.
We also take requests for any store listing URL and even if we don't support it right now such as Nike for example we will prioritize it and get it added to our queue to support tracking it.
The interesting thing about your point that Amazon and other merchants that have a "notify me" button is that they don't really work for users. However most of their methods are to process new inventory, their notification process is disconnected somehow and delayed for some reason. From the community I've been working to build as well, they all say the platform is much faster than the stores' versions.
As a long time user, customer and promoter, this is puzzling to me to see change in direction and lack of product focus on what brought initial interest (DNS) to Cloudflare in the tech world first with the VPN stuff and now this TV stuff.

> You can have one Elastic IP (EIP) address associated with a running instance at no charge.
My goal was the same, to make hosting more portable with features like snapshotting and restoration of WP sites across servers and to even eventually expand beyond just servers, to bring in domain registrars and cloud storage to be able to move things around easier. For example: you have a site hosted on AWS EC2 with DNS at Namecheap and nightly backups at Dropbox and let's say the AWS Virginia region goes down. You create a new server in Digital Ocean and restore the snapshot from Dropbox and the linked DNS at Namecheap is auto updated.
The more I thought about this though, I began to realize that maybe these features wouldn't be useful to the audience I wanted to target, which was people who wanted to grow from shared hosting and have something reliable and less noisy neighbors, but still more affordable than managed WP hosts and lastly more control (bring your cloud/server provider).

I've been a software developer for over 10 years now and my experience is largely full stack, but I am stronger in the backend building application and database architecture, API integrations, and scaling systems.

My goal is to make an easier service for managed WP hosting on your own cloud servers whether you use AWS, Digital Ocean, or a VM in your datacenter. Everything that is built out is setup for performance and tuned for WordPress. There are some unique feature like auto-setup of SSL certs with LetsEncrypt as well.

Swagger's standard API definition is external of your actual API responses and is used primarily for API docs and can be used for auto generating API client libraries/SDKs.
Here's an example:

Also, you might want to update your HN profile with contact info.
Moz has a great article which covers it pretty well. Basically you have to send 100 emails per day for some length of time.
Since you can't just add them to your email and expect them to work, I think that is why it hasn't caught on. I'd really love if it did though.
