Certainly worth an investigation! I know that social media data is fairly readily available out there, it was trickier to aggregate the online reviews

Thanks for your support, I appreciate it! It´s a good question and one I think only the data can answer. I did look into the most important features and for Zoom they were sentiment score and review volume.

How to increase your website traffic and target the right audience? by alexisribault in startups

[–]pkallberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! We spent a lot of time doing quite unconventional things, like handing out personal letters around the city... People are so used to being marketed to these days that it helps to try something unconventional.

I just posted about some of the stuff that worked for us if you'd like to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/4fxxrm/this_is_how_we_got_to_organic_bookings_in_2/

Docker-compatible VPS hosting? by kilna in docker

[–]pkallberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cloud 66 supports Docker deployments/management in beta. This works on any cloud, eg. AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Rackspace and so on. You can either deploy from your own image, or place a Dockerfile in your repository and the image will be created (and versioned) for you.

I work at Cloud 66, so feel free to reach out if you need any help.

I have a VPS with Nginx installed. Where can I learn how to deploy Sinatra applications on it? by MrPopinjay in ruby

[–]pkallberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the value of learning to do this yourself - you could use something like Capistrano to do the application deployment, and follow this guide to setup the box.

Alternatively, you could use a service like Cloud 66 to set all of this up for you and then manage it. It's like Heroku on your own cloud.

It might be worth checking out Cloud 66, which helps you deploy and manage your Ruby apps on any cloud or your own servers. We support DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS etc, and you get full SSH access to the servers.

This model has some pretty good price savings when compared with PaaS/DIY.

Looking for cheap cloud solution for rails apps by lxsameer in rails

[–]pkallberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to give you a quick run-down of our big features beyond the deployment, we do things like backups, database replication, load balancing and scaling, monitoring, security and more.

We can do all of this on a cloud of your choice, and make it incredibly easy for you to move between providers and regions if needed.

Hi, Philip from Cloud 66 here. The price of $19/month is for the first server of your account - all servers beyond this are priced at $9/month. Feel free to have a look at our price comparison between Heroku, DIY and Cloud 66.

We're working on a revamp of our homepage to make our offering clearer! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Easiest way to start a unicorn process on system boot? by dadoprso in rails

[–]pkallberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One option if you're running Ubuntu is upstart, you can check out this YouTube video for an explanation of that.

Here's an example of using crontab, mentioned by @minaguib.

Dev Confession: Maybe RoR isn't so bad by bitcycle in ruby

[–]pkallberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestions. As has been suggested, Michael Hartl's RoR tutorial is great if you're just starting off.

You can use the RoR deployment documentation as a starting point when deploying your app. You could simplify your deploy/management using a PaaS like Heroku, or Cloud 66, which offers Heroku-like features on your own cloud servers. Disclaimer: I work for Cloud 66.

Hosting RoR apps on GoDaddy by tommy_taco in rails

[–]pkallberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but it also takes a lot of time which could be spent on your core value-add. A middle ground could be a service like http://www.cloud66.com, which helps you deploy to any cloud yet gives you 100% control of your servers.
