We use https://www.api2pdf.com/pricing/ and it's priced per bandwidth and usage - ($.001 per mb bandwidth and $0.00019551 per second of computation)

You can choose which API to use: Headless Chrome, Wkhtmltopdf, Libreoffice, etc.

I use pinboard daily, not so much to save bookmarks but to browse new content. I wrote a small hacky script to filter out links on "recent" page with more than X amount of other users that have it bookmarked too. It's not all new content but if people are bookmarking it, it must be at least worth a look.

Already using MJML to design email templates and wrapping <mj-raw> tags around Mailchimp conditional tags like IF:SOMETHING .. |END:IF|. I guess it's time to render the html emails ourselves, merge with params and then use whatever other third party transactional email service.

We're currently using Mandrill to send outbound emails, although we've had issues with some API calls, all the outbound emails we sent have been delivered.

Certain things like viewing email content look broken on certain emails which doesn't hurt the business, yet...

It's true though that this service is nearing death as hasn't had an update to any of its features since it merge with Mailchimp.

Looking to change service providers soon, as soon as we figure out how to render emails to html before sending. Mandrill has a `render` endpoint which makes this easy. None of the others have this yet.

Not using the archive feature of the site so I can't comment on it, but the rest of the site works as it should.

I mainly use it for discovering new content via "popular" tab and my own hacky chrome extension to filter "recent" bookmarks and display those with N number of users who bookmarked the same link.

Sure it could use with some much needed updates to both the site and the api at some point once Maciej saves the American political system eventually.

You could try going the Hackintosh route. I've had a Dell XPS 15" model (9530) with hi-dpi display (1920 x 1080), 512gb SSD drive (partitioned to two 256gb, one for Windows 10 use when needed).

There are few quirks, webcam light stays on after use, SD card slot not working but the whole Hackintosh community is great at solving problems.

Thanks, but your pricing model is all wrong when it comes to transactional emails. We're looking for something which is more usage based instead of based on number of subscribers. Nice templating though.

Is it possible to have more than 300 templates per account? We're offering custom transactional email templates to our clients and might exceed this limit. Definitely looking at moving to SendGrid after this announcement.

Previewing content of the last 7 days of sent emails would also be a bonus.

I can't wait when he reaches the bronze age.

At the moment, spectator. But if someone else who stumbles upon this server and has other motives, they could be able to dig further and gain access to DB files.

Then we would be at risk since I assume that's where they store our user credentials needed to login to our website backend and make updates. Although, that will be least of our worries since we can simply reset the username/passwords that have accessed out sites since we have activity logs.

I think this is exactly what I needed yesterday when someone asked me is it possible to get a report from Asana into excel (Asana doesn't have this ability, just the json API).

Some poor NSA analyst was caught playing WoW in work and had to develop this enormous ploy to explain his actions as a way to capture chat terrorist traffic in-game. It just blew up from there.
