Hey guys, at Dispensed are working on Vending as a Service.
For $100 we ship a vending mechanism for you to put on your own custom vending box.
We then provide online marketplace and payment services (Shopify for vending machines) so your customers can use their phones to buy products from your vending machines.
Great alternative for products that don’t justify big $10k vending machines.
I'm not sure I understand what you're actually doing with this. I think that adding photos of the components you're shipping would make the page clearer.
Very nice - I've recently launched something similar that tracks calories consumed (with macros coming soon). Would love to compare notes sometime if you're keen :)
I fully agree that anything to the extreme can be detrimental and therefor unsustainable and ineffective. I will say that I have seen great value in building up a rough mental model of (1) how energy dense various foods are (2) where my routines / habits are causing me to over consume energy.
I agree having a compulsion to weigh everything you eat for fear of "failing" isn't very productive. But on the other hand I think there is genuine utility in knowing roughly what percentage of your daily energy comes from your typical breakfast / lunch / drinks / dinner / snacks etc etc.
Where I feel my approach beats the typical calorie tracker is that it doesn't encourage micro-counting or even reaching a specific goal, but rather just keeps you informed. This makes it very easy to know where your energy came from and thus gives you power to increase / decrease as needed.
Definitely take your point on the other factors - but for many people, I think, it would help knowing what a maintenance day of eating looks / feels like.
When dash came out I was a massive fan but found the abstraction layer not quite right.
When writing a python script you tend to think from top to bottom - as your script runs through. Dash adopts the html approach of defining a document and callbacks. After doing the refactor to this model I found the trade-offs of Dash wasn't worth the time saved of going straight to a more traditional stack, and again you're pretty locked-in to this choice now.
One example was writing a Dash SSO component turned into quite an ordeal (more so than most SSO integrations) - my aim here is to make an extension like this easier because you've got access directly to the FastAPI app with `hs.app`.
Looks very interesting, will have to give it a shot!
I made an open source “dashboard” for dokku that tries to give you Heroku ease of use with the cost of a single server.
Basically you run one script on the server and it deploys a dokku app which manages the deployment of additional dokku apps. Gives you GUI access to deploying new apps, changing env variables etc.
Would love feedback from anyone looking for an easy way to deploy dokku apps regularly.
Long-time dokku user here. This seems interesting.
How nicely does this play with more complicated things, like configuring ports for SSL, or using additional Dokku plugins?
How about things like configuring the container network and things like upload size variables, or the wait time when deploying, etc.?
Haven't worked on this in a while so can't exactly remember but focuses more on the MVP functionality. Should be easy enough to add anything you could traditionally do through SSHing into the box though.
