Wow, someone has submitted Cypress.io here - probably because we just crossed 25k stars on GitHub.

We at Cypress do read these comments, and we definitely understand both the positive and negative opinions. If you have never tried Cypress yourself - take a look at the first test page https://on.cypress.io/writing-your-first-test

Try it yourself, you might like the syntax and the developer experience. And if not - no worries, there are TestCafe, Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, Webdriver that might work better for you.


thank you, our small team at Cypress appreciates every little bit of good publicity



Can I humbly submit my blog? https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/ - 3 years, 350 blog posts, mostly covering JavaScript / Node / code quality


warning: posting my own website https://glebbahmutov.com/

Has links to blog / slides / github and list of GitHub projects with search. Allows people and myself to quickly find something. Getting recruiters' pitches (and occasional hand crafted emails to join teams) every day.


I have been using Dokku for a year for personal side projects and it has been awesome. Each release brings good features, fixes bugs and in general improves it.

Setting up could never be easier (read https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/running-multiple-applications-...) and the large number of plugins for databases is a huge plus.


We use "bates" https://github.com/luiscarli/bates by our own engineer


I blog at https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/ as a reminder to myself how some problems are solved. Now people at work, especially new hires, comment how 50% of my communication or answering questions are just links to the blog posts.


The app saves its state in whatever form it wants. The demo saves it in localStorage that is very limited. One really should look at something better like IndexedDB or WebSql (or something that hides the technical details, like localForage or PouchDB).


WebSQL is not supported by IE nor FF, and is limited by 50 MB.

IndexedDB is limited by same 50MB, 5MB on mobile, and is only partially supported by IE, Safari and iOS.


That's why I recommend using PouchDB to work with whatever API is available. Storage limits are harder to work around, but if your HTML snapshot weights more than 50MB (or even 1MB!) that it is a problem by itself.


seems to flash for me, add a few todos and then hit reload
