I've been deep in the weeds building out a course. Today I wanted to share a snippet of building out an express + passport auth scheme using the latest async/await patterns. It's really nice to not be in callback hell. Even though passport mostly uses callbacks we can still do our app-specific code like looking up a user by email, de-serialization, and serialization in an async function if desired.

I have an email signup if you want to get the full working code same.

Thanks!

Looks like my email provider ConvertKit had some database issues this morning.

SMH.

Looks really smart!

One thing I'd like is a way to share the final link where I see the projection and ideas

Thanks for the feedback. To clarify, do you mean you'd like a way to share your results socially or via email to others?

Out of curiosity, does it matter how someone wants to share a link in order to be able to share it?

Presumably, a person’s mode of sharing should have zero impact on having a link to share.

Correct. We're leveraging localStorage to save answers across "pages" (using Vue). We could probably serialize / base64 encode the object we've saved and then let someone share it.

Ah, yeah. In that case, there is definitely a little hurdle to jump to make links to the results work, for sure.

That's a good point. I was just more curious than anything. Something we're working on now.

I think the way the question was worded raised my eyebrows a bit. It left me thinking that "sharing socially" would be turned into "let's include this social sharing widget that will track our users" (which always turns me off of a product) vs "let's make sure a shareable link works a single (or multiple) times for people who have the link".

Welcome!

I was looking for a way to share with my coworkers in Slack.

I think that an opinionated framework like Rails will be around for a long time.

Technology has its fads, but somethings stick around. There are plenty of people still coding in C. Laravel is a pretty big PHP framework.

There are plenty of companies that built on Rails. The cost of switching to a new technology is likely unfeasible. So likely the product/company will continue to use Rails.

So if you like Ruby/Rails, I say go for it!

> There are plenty of people still coding in C.

Of course, as there is no real-world alternative to C for some applications. The famous Linus Torvalds rant on C++ still rings true today.

I have used digital ocean and vultr. From a technical review I used vultr and digital ocean differently. On vultr I ran some large Windows servers. For digital ocean I run all sorts of things.

In my experience, Digital Ocean's support is much much better than Vultr. Towards the end of my used of Vultr I had some pricing disputes for some IP address blocks.

On the other hand Digital Ocean gave me account credit when I reached out.

I can't speak for linode.

Good to see a first hand review. Just checking if anybody in the forum has used and/or considered server4you.com. Their prices and server specifications look very competitive

Thanks for the feedback; vultr seems to have newer hardware which results in faster servers; but I also read some where else about their bad customer service.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I'm switching over to grunt-node-webkit-builder.

I'm going to try to make it as easy as `npm install slack-for-linux -g' to get the client in your path.

So this looks a lot cleaner than the other yeoman grunt generator I used initially.

As for node-notifier, this seems easy. I guess the only thing is hooking into the events emitted by the Slack Javascript? I need to dig in further for this.

Thanks,

Will

Internally it is using an iframe.

So that should continue to work decently. It's the building and packaging of the thing that will break.
