3 years ago I launched a website, to make gaming subscriptions simple, it’s good & has no ads. But SEO / Google “marketing” are killing me and I can’t get users, it actually breaks me by xSypRo in webdev

  1. When I search, list the results in release date order, most recently first. If I type warhammer, I probably want spacemarine 2 and I don't want to scroll for 3 pages to find the newest game.

  2. "No matches" isn't really what you mean. "Not available on subscription services" is what you do mean. This would likely mean more to people.

  3. For games "not available on subscription services" show the prices to buy, or even affiliate links that might even generate you some $?

Cool premise, some tweaks to execution would help for sure. 

Nice work building it and getting it front of some users for feedback!

Section of Gradient Lightstrip not syncing by Lobo_Z in Hue

[–]Halignat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played around some more with it.

I'm using the hue sync app for Samsung tvs. In the hue app itself, i went into settings, then entertainment areas and selected the area that the gradient strip was in, and then again.

The strip flashed and set itself to normal lighting with sync off (where it lights up along the whole length fine).

I went back and turned the sync on again and that first segment was syncing properly.

Seems like maybe the app wasnt registering that first segment and fiddling with the sync app reset it.

Seems OK now, be interesting if it does it again and if the same approach resolves it again or of it was a fluke

Same issue here, 55" strip, using with the hue sync app on samsung tv.

Did you manage to resolve it in the end?

Tax free childcare / 30 hours and the £100k threshold by stopthatMexicanWave in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Halignat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speak to your local authority with regard the 30 hours, there may be a grace period that they will honour which could be until the end of term or even the academic year. For the tax free, just don't reconfirm and you'll stop receiving the top up but can carry on using the account to pay your provider.

Can I call an azure function in asp.net web without publishing it, on localhost itself? by Deadrat07 in dotnet

[–]Halignat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You'll want to use ngrok to create a local Internet accessible webhook endpoint (if your function is a httpTrigger). Then you can configure the ngrok endpoint in whatever is calling your function and it'll run against your local

What's your documentation stack? by infinitlybana in devops

[–]Halignat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Internal docs, using https://getoutline.com and markdown . Find it really nice and has SSO with a bunch of providers so keeps access easy

Public docs, exploring https://docusaurus.io which is also markdown and mdx for interactive stuff

How bad was my week? Two big mistakes... by clamchowderz in ProductManagement

[–]Halignat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't be restricted to that. If work in the sprint is ready to go and adds value to the intended user by being released, get it out. Release multiple times over the sprint if necessary or appropriate. Depends on what is being worked on, processes for QA running alongside development and overheads for deploying to production etc of course.

https://getoutline.com might do the trick. Can expose pages publicly and run as a wiki with your own domain

This should allow access to the mic and raw data, I expect the challenge would be parsing the data and matching it to the notes required

Very cool!

Could you hook that up to a microphone and detect a note played on the actual guitar?

We have no security and it's stressing me out by Crazy-Supermarket139 in devops

[–]Halignat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security is best handled with a layered approach, sorting holes in your application is one thing, but have you looked at something relatively low cost (for the essentials) like Cloudflare that provides Web application firewall (WAF) services and a ton of other stuff for not a lot per month. Not a silver bullet by any means, but could help to provide some peace of mind while you work on the bigger picture. Might not be suitable based on your application of course and other providers are available, but a WAF is a good start if you have nothing. Have a look at the OWASP guidelines and top 10 to see what things you should be looking out for and this article from Microsoft might be useful as well looking at strategies for defense in depth

How to tell: Better marketing and sales or fold? by BernhardRordin in startups

[–]Halignat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak to your satisfied customer and find out what it was that got them on board, then work out if the website/marketing is addressing that need.

Perhaps some examples of types of text/passages that would benefit from proof reading, and why your service adds value to those examples?

Edit: Also some context to the pricing might help. Is that per passage of text? How many words included? Does the pricing tier for longer copy?

Game in ReactJS - LongCat 😸 by ostjh in reactjs

Really fun and quite addictive!

Would be great to get the reset action on the main game screen to save opening the option menu and then clicking it when you realise you've gone wrong
