An extension for the browser to grab some parts or the entire website with a link to a note in evernote. A very quick way to collect information from the internet. But then they started adding features, and features, a lot of features, re-designing, and again features with again a new design and so on. This ended up with a totally unusable interface and a way too complicated web clipper. Every time I tried to find something in Evernote I got lost.
Then I spotted Mammoth, a new web based service for collecting informations, sharing and collaborating. Exactly what I needed. So I started using Mammoth every day to give it a try and check out, if I can use it for my daily work.
This was about one year ago. Today Mammoth is one of my daily working tools. I love the simplicity of Mammoth, very easy way to collaborate with other people in a project, upload files and even share informations with everyone via public boards.
Everything I need for my daily work. I read Predictably Irrational about a year ago, and was blown away. The book was full of practical, tactical knowledge that I could apply — and indeed we did end up integrating behavioral optimizations into Mammoth.
I sought out a near-impossible meeting with Dan, and he did agree to meet. Not only did he have useful tips then, he began using Mammoth. Go check out his books — they might help you like they helped me.
As apps grow bigger, a nice way to achieve logical and physical separation is to dice it up into sub-domains. And run each as a separate app with its own monitoring and performance thresholds. This way, the metrics for each are also split api.
So that slow query joining several tables for a dashboard view will no longer gunk up the stats for say, APIs. Logical separation allows dynamically creating as many sub-domains as needed like a sub-domain per customer all pointing back to same DNS host. Physically separating the app i. And each time I attempted it, there was always something that ended up getting missed. I hope this helps anyone trying to do the same thing on Heroku. Here we go. Point to note here is that this cert must necessarily be a wildcard cert which verifies anything under yourwebsite.
This may need a bit of time to propagate, so continue with the rest of the config while letting this bake. We can test this at the very end.
Manually copying config vars just blows. Heroku plugins to the rescue. This one makes it dead simple to copy config vars from one Heroku app to another. Of course, you can skip this step if you already have this plugin or another one that does the same thing.
You may have more depending on your app. Do this to change the default Heroku custom domain that is added automatically by Heroku when an app is provisioned to your actual domain yoursite. This is great, but what happens to our local development environments? And that is to use lvh. Now, all sub-domains like admin. Since we now have functional sub-domains that can run our app, we have two options on what to do with the original code base.
Do all common classes become their own Gems? How about models? Do they also become Gems? I have an easier way. And this is to not bother separating the code base, but have the exact same app running on all the sub-domains.
And instead, create more sophisticated routes with sub-domain constraints that, depending on the request, can be smartly routed to the correct sub-domain. Granted, this has the redirect ugliness which slows down the first request the redirect makes it 2 HTTP requests instead of one , but all subsequent requests to this sub-domain will work as always. This way though, the code base stays the same which makes it infinitely easier to manage.
It also makes deployment a cake with git connector. I meant Git connectors of course, which are absolutely brilliant. But pushing the app manually to each separate host gets old really fast. But the good folk at Heroku already thought of this and added git connectors. And whenever said branch or repo is updated, the latest code in that branch is auto-deployed to all configured hosts. Indeed, I found this sole feature alone so neat that I sent them a quick note about it it was beyond midnight or something, so excuse my French :.
With git connector hooked up, we can now push the latest app to all hosts with a single command:. We are now using it with a faculty staff to facilitate the major collaborative review of the medical undergraduate programme. A warm welcome to the University of Bristol.
