   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.

• An Introduction to Nix for Ruby Developers

  Nix currently is akin to git's "porcelain": powerful but esoteric.
