My European stack:
- OVH for object storage, domain names and simple Wordpress websites
- Scalingo/3DS Outscale for PaaS (looking for alternatives here!)
- Mailjet used to be EU but they've been acquired by Mailgun - don't know if that's an issue. Brevo is okay as an email service provider but they could be way better.
Correct. Mailgun acquired Mailjet, then Sinch acquired us. We follow the EU data standards of our parent company for our EU products, which include Mailjet and Mailgun EU.
I am working on a document collection app called Superdocu (https://www.superdocu.com), currently adding automated validation features for specific document types.
I wanted to spend less time looking for my next trip and decided to create myself a Chrome Extension that shows me cheap flights at random dates from the nearest airport.
Finally decided to submit it on both Chrome and Firefox [1] extension stores. The app is made with Vanilla JS and jQuery and is currently translated into English and French.
I used Skyscanner's API for the flights, Google's Geocoding API to get the location, Lufthansa's API to get the nearest airport IATA code and Unsplash for the background pictures.
I'm pretty sure there is much to improve, so looking for feedback!
Site is minimalist, which is something I like. I wish the search would accept synonyms for technologies/languages, like "js" or "node.js" would be accepted for respectively Javascript and Node.
I wouldn't say people fled to MySpace…friendster had this initial surge of users, the site become unreliable (and once you set up an account and got over the initial flurry of fun, there was no "there" there. You could connect to people, you could send messages, but IIRC there was no "timeline" or "newsfeed"). MySpace launched within a few months after Friendster (allegedly inspired by Friendster), had more features, and most importantly didn't crash as nearly as often as Friendster. MySpace also was more "creative" in a GeoCities sort of way, you could tailor your page in a variety of ways, and it appealed to teens (who would go on to create Facebook accounts within a couple of years and shift their loyalties).
