I made this app to simplify the process of adding existing team members to a Slack channel. Seems like this is one missing part of Slack's functionality, and as the team grows in size it becomes more difficult task to manage manually.
The app can also help in exporting all members of a particular channel with a simple command.
I made this side-project to curate a list of products which offer PPP pricing model. These products give discounts based on your location on the assumption that the purchasing power of different countries also tend to be different. For the products, it adds to their discoverability.
Thanks a lot for the appreciation and feedback. I completely agree with all the points mentioned. The first issue has already been fixed.
There is no API as of now, mainly because it was developed as a client side technology. Everything happens on the user's browser. I'll consider making one though.
Great work at organizing an amazing event @IndianGuru. I still cant believe that a renowned hotel like 'the Lalit' can take a risk to upset an online community. They probably have no idea of the power of ruby/internet community. Let's submit shit loads of reviews on tripadvisor and other places that teaches them a good lesson.
Author of the website here. The last thing a person who is getting married could wish would be getting his wedding invite HNed. I think I am soon going to cross the free plan's limit of typeform.com (which I am using for RSVPing there)
Little history: `sudo gem install wedding` actually works. The gem was first uploaded on rubygems. Which I thought would be the only thing that I would share with my colleagues and hacker friends. Later I realized that it would be too complex a thing to expect from people, so built a mock frontend around it using jcubic's jQuery terminal plugin.
I am happy that people are finding it funny / interesting. The website found its target audience. Just that I wouldn't be able to host this number of people ;-)
I started with replaceState only, but later I realized there was no specific gain that I was having (other than slightly good looking string without hash). This method also suffers from reload and favicon flashes. If it reliably doesn't log to history (unlike location.replace()), using it could be a good idea. But that also comes with a tradeoff of older browser support issues, which requires using external javascript APIs.
Thanks. It appears that location.replace doesn't work in a similar fashion on every browser. I am looking into other methods of implementing, but they look uglier.
