Basically a simple pizza status tracker for small German fabricators and craftsman. You define the process, instantiate it per customer order who receives the link to a status page with a possibility to subscribe to status notifications as well. The benefit is that people don't call you anymore asking for the status of their order, saving time.
It's a pretty vanilla rails app running on a hetzner vps.
Nice idea. How does the provider receive the order from customer? Is it through phone call, or via some other app? If it is an app, won't that app have a status tracking feature?
As a kibbutznik myself i built it to govern every possible community for all flavor and size with the inspiration of my experience in a tight democratic way of living ,I have given a lot of thought into it but it remained just an idea, i am a developer and my marketing skills are none existing and time is limited so no one use it. glad you liked it :)
I use it daily and it never crashed. How long ago was this?
I am a big fan of DuckDB. Plow through hundrets of GB of logs on a 5 year old linux laptop - no problem.
it's not the focus or very performant but you can have it spill to disk if you run out of memory. I wouldn't suggest building a solution based on this approach though; the sweet-spot is memory-constrained.
This looks cool and it hits a niche. There are suprisingly few good IDEs for DB work. I use DuckDB a lot for analytics tasks mostly in DataGrip but its not great. The alternatives like DBeaver are ok but not that great as well.
This is awesome! I wish there was sth similar for Europe! In Germany you have to go to a morgage broker and trust that his self-interest is aligned with yours :D
I pay a below 1% fixed rate for a 20 years mortgage since 4 years ago here in Belgium
I went to a mortgage broker first who offered me worse tho not necessarily bad rates with other banks as an option. The 2 best options I found were not on his roster.
The mortgage broker did say he preferred not taking insurance discounts as those insurance cost could go up up to a maximum and couldn't then be renegotiated separately.
But so far it's been better for me and of course that broker would also have negotiated the separate insurance and gotten his cut.
The current rate in France is more or less 3.2% for 25 years. It's better than the rates we see on this page but as someone who bought at a rate of 1% (1.75% real rate, something like that) I strongly advise people not to have a 33% debt ratio.
This is the max allowed by banks but it's a huge risk compared to renting which is basically risk-free. Buying something less expensive to have a smaller debt ratio may be better than renting.
ps: comparing rates alone isn't fair because Europe has a lot more taxes
Thanks for the link but thats not really the same. They are just giving you indications and then you have to sign up. I would like to see more concrete numbers per bank. Maybe there are not many factors that influence the rate?
The dashboard in this hackernews story also provides indications. In both cases what you see is the "normal" rate. If you go to any of these credit unions and your credit score is too low for example, you will get a different rate.
