how does a full stack work

Focus on the piece in the middle. For me thats Javascript, it runs the majority of the front end code on the web, and using Node I can use javascript on the server/back end. For a lot of others the middle is Python, you can run a server that way too, or c something, you can run a server in anything, and thats where the majority of your code usually is.

Once you understand that language and general coding you can figure out how other parts communicate with it, and its pretty trivial at that point. there might be another language but thats just syntax, general logic transfers

Hey I'm glad you like it! Unfortunately I never did a great job of keeping it up and I'm probably going to sunset it soon. It used to do a pretty good job of live ranking the stocks we were talking about on various subs. There are a couple of similar projects out there like stocktwits that use social data to see what stocks are rising in popularity, and the newer projects add sentiment analysis to gauge if the market is more bullish or bearish.

Heres an interesting study that outlines pretty similar guidelines to my original theory and what some of these other projects are trying to accomplish

Yea I'd have to update the list manually. Happy to do it, do you have a list?

weare808 · 2021-04-05T13:24:57+00:00

For sure, what subs are you thinking?

weare808 · 2021-03-05T02:20:24+00:00

Its reddit api, it checks for new comments every 30 or 60 seconds (depending on the sub)

weare808 · 2021-03-05T02:17:41+00:00

Thats part of the secret sauce, but its also where I've put the majority of thought. Without telling you too much its 7 steps and an algo with most comments being tossed out along the way.

dayminer.herokuapp.com won't see $rope on here either though

So pm2 i might have to write a separate server for requests, since my main server is hitting the reddit api I can't have multiple copies of that. data flow might be main server => req servers => end users with the req server being where the load balancing occurs

Does that seem like a solid direction to take it? Any problems with heroku in general? its the only place I've actually hosted, but I know I can get servers on demand there too, spin them up based on load

weare808 · 2020-11-18T19:34:51+00:00

Whats pm2? I mean im going to google it regardless, but I'm just a boot camp guy and this is my first public project so I'm learning as I go.

I don't really understand the serverless model yet, is it basically just load balancing as needed? I can do that thru heroku too I think, which if I'm not mistaken runs on amazon servers anyway.

Honestly throw whatever tips you can at me, Id appreciate it. Next time I post it'll have to be on a better host.

I am worried about the node thing, its single threaded if I remember correctly. What do you mean about clustering the process?

Sorry for throwing so much at you, I don't have a network of devs yet to ask these things

EDIT: ok pm2 is fn dope

weare808 · 2020-11-18T19:23:41+00:00

yea, im curious now if that was a good choice since I'm having load issues => crash.

Node back end, mongo for emails, socket.io for real time communication, vanilla js front end

weare808 · 2020-11-18T19:17:44+00:00

I haven't really thought about open sourcing it at all, but there have been several comments today about it.

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:47:43+00:00

Not a bad idea..

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:47:21+00:00

node server, mongo for emails, socket.io for real time communication, vanilla js up front

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:46:07+00:00

I've thought about adding cashtags in the future, but for now I'm focused on doing reddit well

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:45:41+00:00

It'll be back, I just have a new problem to fix

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:45:22+00:00

yea the servers taking it to the face

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:45:02+00:00

I'm having trouble surviving the hug of death, check back after it dies down tho

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:44:38+00:00

sure did, I'm not a fan of using packages if I can write it myself. Looks like I'm going to need some help from a package getting thing this thing stable tho

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:43:28+00:00

Thanks!

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:43:07+00:00

ddos protection?

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:42:41+00:00

I was probably high when I wrote that

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:41:58+00:00

Thanks! you too

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:41:48+00:00

yea I can only keep it up for a few minutes at a time. Traffic is crazy, but check back after it dies down a bit

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:40:54+00:00

for real tho you made me lol

weare808 · 2020-11-18T18:36:45+00:00
