  • RemindMeOfThisTweet

    Discontinued 🤖 Twitter bot to set reminders for tweets.

  • On @RemindMe_OfThis, I store the user's chosen timezone, a flag to enable push notifications and the Firebase notification token.

  • DownloadThisVideo

    Discontinued Twitter bot for easily downloading videos/GIFs off tweets

  • On @this_vid, I store the push notification flag and Firebase token. An important detail: on both of these systems, a "user" is a Twitter user. My app doesn't handle any user management or store any user accounts. Authentication is handled by Twitter.

  • out-to-lunch

    Discontinued Simple Slack slash command for posting "Out to lunch" updates

  • Yep. In a small Slack app I built for my previous workplace, I used a Google Sheet to store user tokens for updating their Slack profile.

  • Lowdb

    Simple and fast JSON database

  • Files are the most flexible of all. They can store anything in any format you want, but you have to write the querying logic yourself, so it's best to stick to simple formats and don't use them for data where you need complex queries. I think sticking with simple data that fits in a key=value format or JSON (like lowdb) is best.

  • Chart.js

    Simple HTML5 Charts using the <canvas> tag

  • I then pass the engineResponseTimes to the view and use Chart.js to render it into a chart.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
