   Highly recommend for anyone to monitor keywords

   I use it every day. F5Bot is amazing at notifying for specific keywords. The only downside is that it doesn't have context around your keywords, so you will get more emails with keywords than expected. It really depends on your keywords and how you monitor them. Overall it's a high quality monitoring service.

   👍 Pros:    Free to use|High quality|Reliable

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

  Sign up for F5Bot and set up keyword monitoring for your Problem space across Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters.

• Full Stack To Do list, a step-by-step tutorial

  Our backend will be little more than a two-way translation layer between the database and the user interface (UI). Later in this post we will identify other responsibilities of a backend but our implementation will be kept simple to demonstrate the fundamental machinery and concepts. It is worth noting the backend comes in two parts, web server and application server. Both json-server and Express are able to... - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Improve Frontend-Backend development harmony with JSON-Server

  JSON-Server creates fake REST API with a minimum amount of configuration, it provides a simple way to create mock RESTful APIs and easily define the required endpoints, allows easy definition of the data schema in a JSON file and can serve as a reference for each figure in the project. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Dictionary app

  I thought about usingJson Server (hosting the repo with the words on Github to begin with), Googlesheets, or maybe Firestore (i would prefer not to use it ,to avoid extra costs just in case it gets a reasonable amount of users). It isnt a big app so I just want a simple solution for storing the words and fetching them. Source: about 3 years ago

• Playwright - Not just for Frontend

  First, I didn't create a backend API for this example, but I used a fake API to test. I created it with json-server and json-server-auth. They are two npm packages that use a JSON file as a database and expose the database in an API. You can find more about json-server in its documentation and about json-server-auth here. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
