Damn it Facebook. Why did I ever believe you could handle being cool to developers?

Why was RabbitMQ not great as a backend?

I am curious because we use it for a not launched chat application (+websockets) currently and we are not sure if it will hold big amounts of users.

I found that it was difficult to deal with a web client connection dying, then reconnecting, and recieving messages it may have missed while disconnected. There's a flag you can set for this in Rabbit when creating a queue, but I couldn't really get it to work.

The way Firehose works the client gets a sequence ID per channel that's always counting up. If the connection drops when the client is on sequence 1, then 4 new message come in, and the client reconnects, it will get the rest of the messages up to sequence 5 and wait for new messages.

Nice idea! It could use some design improvements, you should collaborate with a design! Or copy the product hunt style, they've done an amazing job and it's part of their success!

This is very cool! Bookmarked!

This is what the app says Paul Graham's predicted personality is: http://labs.five.com/pg

INVENTIVE • SOLITARY • SENSITIVE • EFFICIENT • ANALYTICAL

I like how they expose details of an icon as CSS classes, well structured. I personally think its to expansive.

15-20$ would be okay.

I agree, maybe even less, especially when they have already collected 90K to create it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/207474036/iconic-advanc...
