• How Solid Queue Became the Rails 8 default, and More on Open Source Maintainership

  Seven gems to manage background jobs. The team looked at what they were running and said "this can't be right." That became the brief for Solid Queue. Rosa got picked for the project, built it in production at Hey first, iterated on it for months, and shipped it into Rails 8. She keeps calling it luck. I don't think it's luck. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• The death of cloud centralization: Last decade’s internet had a gravity problem

  Basecamp: After using clouds from both Amazon and Google extensively over the past 15 years, we finally had enough of the outrageous bills and the ever-increasing complexity. So in 2023, we pulled Basecamp, HEY, and five other heritage apps out of AWS and onto our own hardware — without adding any new staff. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• From React to Hotwire - Part II - [EN]

  Attending the latest edition of Rails World and watching the talk by DHH made me realize that generating views on the backend with Rails was no longer synonymous with slow, ugly interfaces that do not care about UX. With Hotwire, through Turbo and Stimulus, it was possible to create applications as complex as Gmail, Hey, or Slack, Campfire. And this became even more surreal with Turbo 8. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• HEY.com Review: A Game-Changer or A Gimmick?

  In June 2020, Basecamp decided to take on the giants of email service providers with the launch of HEY.com, aiming to revolutionize the way we interact with our inboxes. Touted as the email service for those who love email but hate its clutter, HEY.com has certainly generated buzz. But does it live up to the hype? Let's delve into its features, usability, and overall value proposition. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Don't upload your PWA to the app stores

  HEY is a big company, with financial resources and a large social media following. If even they feel bullied by Apple, just imagine what it's like for smaller app developers. And HEY is not even a PWA – it's a native app. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Don't upload your PWA to the app stores

  I built Progressier to provide developers with the best possible browser-based PWA installation experience. And I can say, it's nearly as good as Google/Apple's app store installation experience. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• How to fix iOS push subscriptions getting terminated after 3 notifications

  That's it for me! Hopefully, now you know how to get around push subscriptions being canceled after 3 push notifications. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me here. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Web push notifications coming to iOS this year

  When I made Progressier compatible with the desktop Safari update from last October, I had to rewrite a thing or two to put the request for permission inside a click event listener. Doesn't work otherwise. I'd be willing to bet mobile Safari will have the same requirement. Source: over 3 years ago

• Show HN: I made an indie app store alternative with a twist

  The twist is that although it does (part of) the job of an app store, it's not (nor aims to be) an app store. It's a script you add to your existing web app that makes it "self-distributing". Check it out: https://progressier.com. Under the hood, it leverages the concept of "PWA", but it goes further: 1. It creates an installation page for your app that looks like an app store listing. Demo example:... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Does calling the image URL cost anything?

  With something like Progressier, you can set up a caching strategy that essentially says "cache all images located on firebase.whatever-the-url-is.com and never request it from the network after that". It would take approximately 2 minutes to set up -- no code required. Source: over 4 years ago
