Hey Team Algolia, good to see you here. My question is how did Algolia convince its very first client to use Algolia in their search? What was the sales pitch like?

Is there any node module/mongoose plugin for this? How do others handle follow-following system in MongoDB?

Thanks Mayank!

If you had asked this question a year back, I would have said "Availability of more grunt plugins", but this doesn't hold true today. Gulp is better than Grunt in every aspect, but is more code driven. If you want to be configuration driven rather than code you are better off with Grunt.

Most of the comments are primary talking about how to achieve this when there is an existing service. But someone could really build this kind of terminal utility as well as a backend. This service should target developers first (because we are most comfortable with the terminal). When someone wants to order an item they could simply pass various params to specify details about the order as @GriessbreiLP mentioned. If you are not aware of various available options, the tool can show all the details in help (like ./feedme --help ). You can then make a CURL request to your backend and place the order. The users can even see a progress bar in the terminal to track status. This will be super cool for developers. It can be written in Ruby or Python because most developers use MacBooks which has these languages preinstalled.

@noxowe I think this is a neat tool. But as @GriessbreiLP says this is something one can do without big efforts. But the tool you built is quite cool and neat. If you are freelancing and handling a lot of clients you can just reuse this library in every project and the client doesn't have to worry about it.

Also is it true that in SVN the branching was expensive? I know it's very cheap to create branches in git.

Fabulous tips!

I like Materialize. But the ripples effect doesn't work in all the components.

I have been using Atom for a while and it is handling my React app pretty nicely. I have given up on paid editors already. :) A little command over Git commands will help you a lot. After all we are software developers and git is an integral part of our lives. It is hard to find a freemium that has WebStorm like in-built git support and performs well. #BetterCodingWithOpenSource
