Thank you! It looks great!
Just to understand the plans, p. example in "Plus" are you limiting the number of projects per month to 10 with each having a maximum of 10 minutes?
So, with 10$ in a month I can create a maximum of 10 videos where each cannot have more than 10 minutes?
In the following month can I create another new 10 videos?
Do I fully own the copyrights of the generated videos? To publish them anywhere?
First of all you own all rights to the video you create.
Regarding pricing, the pricing is based on the total number of HowTo projects in your account. The pricing is flexible , You can always upgrade or downgrade the project count. Hope that clarifies.
It seems more likely that the OP even lost money buying a useless domain name that no one will pay for.
Most probably not even a "Thank You" they will give.
If we generalize the author position from Netflix to any other hobbies... I would ask, how great minds can continue to create great stuff without experiencing life and living like humans that they are?
Instead of just keeping in mind "I need to be productive!" people (probably) should do whatever they want, fight their fights and strive to do what they love.
Do you think the work of a genius would be better if at some point in their life we (society) had put him in a cell and obligated him to create more "awesome stuff" 24h a day?
- Normally is attached to very good-looking and sturdy machines
- You can have (..)nix like terminal in half of the screen and Office, Photoshop, and most of the shiny SW ("except games") running flawlessly in the other half without some kind of VM
- The battery of this very nice machines that it comes attached to may last a day
- Customization is a bit more restricted than its (..)nix cousins so most of the time it runs flawlessly even if you don't know
what you're doing
- It connects very well with the other device that a lot of people carry in their pockets
- There are not a lot of combinations of HW + MacOs that you can run so online support tends to be very good
Try as I might, I have never found any laptop that is even half as sturdily built as a macbook. Yes apple plays dirty tricks that prevent inexpensive repair, but TBH, no one else produces a product that physically lasts long enough to be worth repairing by the time the board level components gives out.
Oh gotcha, I certainly agree that the keyboards were a problem, and it was not cool how Apple pretended it was a non-issue for so long. It definitely prevented me from purchasing one during the time they using those keyboards.
That said, I am using one of those Macbook Pros for work, and the overall build is still very impressive. I would expect this machine to last longer physically than any of the non-mac laptops I have ever used.
It uses Firebase.
It really looks very expensive for the functionality and 1.5K monthly visits.. But the developer seems to be fully transparent about costs.
When I built this site I really didn't think much of it and used Firebase just because it was really quick to build and I was getting only a few hundred visits a day. But since last Friday it has received over 35K visits hence the really expensive bill, which by the way is not so much for the storage, but for reading the Firestore database. I simply haven't had the time to re-build the site in a more efficient way it since then, hopefully tomorrow I'll get working on it and find a better alternative solution.
Based on information from the developer's website, it looks like they're still a university student, so probably using what is a cool and easy approach; they probably haven't learned a lot about load and scale. That Firebase bill could probably be written off as tuition :-)
I only used Firebase because when I built the site it was only a small scale solution, but now that is has blown I'm looking at alternatives because this is just a waste of everyone's money. And by the way, I only graduated from my master's last month, and I'm not even a computer scientist, I went to design school and have a degree in industrial design, hence my messy code practices. I'm working on them though, so if anyone is willing to give me a hand or some guidance, feel free to do so.
Most probably you're right, it's sad, costs could probably be a lot smaller and contributions could be a small but sweet and deserved compensation for coffee/beer :-)
Is it just me or is this really well done?
It captivates so much. Don't really know what marketing tricks are used to create something like this. Would love to better understand it.
I am not a lawyer, and please correct me if needed, but you can publish with GPL in all your projects that you own the copyright and simply include "if GPL doesn't suit your needs ping me" in a README and you can do agreements on case by case basis where you can grant a different license to a specific third party.
With this FAANG will need to negotiate to use your code in close source but any average Joe can just write a nice email and use it.
I am referring to the case where FAANG would make money out of your work in closed sources:"With this FAANG will need to negotiate to use your code in closed sources(...)"
Still I get your point, and they indeed don't need to negotiate to use GPL but, with GPL most of the times the actual developer receives the merit of the work (whatever it means) and more important, the community can use any improvements/features/functionalities that FAANG may develop on top of original work.
To protect it a bit more against an easy sabotage you could add some symmetric key logic in the light emitter and receptor (certainly it already crossed your mind)
Thanks for the suggestion. I've just added a tip on the site about putting the board inside an opaque enclosure. That's what I had in mind as far as security goes. I have thought about giving each individual board a unique ID which will be verified when configuring the board.
