Regen network or IXO


My friend was hoping to avoid blockchain-based technologies as they create the energy drain that they're hoping to prevent.


Presumably, most of them filed patents before their demise. So Google Patents is a good place to start

Awesome idea!


This is a known bug in projects generated with `create-shitbowl-app`. You may need to clear the cache and upgrade to the latest version of the S6L framework


Email it with PayPal


Add a wildcard forwarding all emails to your primary email address. When you sign up for a new account at Example Co, use exampleco@xonlo.com as your email. This way, you can’t be easily identified via email, your accounts can’t be matched via email address if your data is sold, and if your data is sold/breached, you’ll know the culprit because all the spam will be sent to a forwarding address with their name.


My actual recommendation is to use GraphQL instead. But I assume that’s not an option.

OpenAPI is the way to go. The official client generator libraries are fairly consistent in my experience, albeit the design patterns sometimes stray outside ecosystem standards.

Alternatively, you could add JSON-Schema validation & schema endpoints to the API’s, then use a library like QuickType to generate types. Or even setup sample requests for each endpoint then use QuickType to generate types based on the response JSON.


Agree with GraphQL. Spin up a Hasura instance, point it at Postgres and you're done.


We don't use GraphQL. I never heard of QuickType before so thanks for that.


Brand = Personality.

Substitute the latter for the former and everything will make sense.

Personality is the basis for how you talk (copywriting), how you dress (design), and how you act (business conduct / PR).

Your company’s personality should match the personality of the person/company that your target audience wishes to be.

The act of using your product is an expression of your customers’ own personalities.

Branding is about embodying the ideals that your customers wish to express.



Oh. Thank you. I searched for something similar, and maybe missed it, cos I was looking for the word innovation


True. But after spending a long time looking for the “JavaScript Rails”, I realized that I didn’t actually need an ORM. Learning SQL is just as difficult as learning a new ORM’s API. Slonik + Postgres + Graphile is now my go-to.


Yes. So long as you do it morally. Your project must extract novel insights from the scraped content, not steal it. Some of my most successful projects have been a result of web scraping.

However, there are caveats. 1. If the scraped website receives frequent updates to its html structure, you will need to update your scraper frequently. This can turn your codeitonceandforgetit side project into a monthly maintenance headache. 2. You are entirely dependent on that site. If they shut their doors, or start blocking bots, you have to find a workaround or shut down your project completely

Ultimately, I would recommend it as a means for quickly attracting users, or as automation for part of a larger project. Ensure that the value is > the maintenance.
