I've still working on

https://attendlist.com

It's a Google Meet attendance & chat tracker, and it's starting to pick up a bit. A few teachers & other people are using it and enjoying it which is really awesome!

Honestly, if you've found something that works for you, I'd stick with it.

Once (if) you start scaling one of your apps, that's when I'd loop back to thinking about infra: either yeah considering something semi-managed like Hatchbox, or even fully managed like DO.

(Hatchbox does actually integrate with managed database instances like those from DigitalOcean which is pretty cool imo)

Hey HN, I've been playing around with HTML & CSS only tooltips for a while, and I finally decided to write a bit about them. Hopefully someone here will find them interesting!

At the end of the article, I also touch on the new CSS anchor API, which will simplify things a bit once (if) it becomes more widely supported.

I'm still building AttendList, a Google Meet attendance tracking extension (https://attendlist.com).

It's starting to pick up! Which is cool — a few new users are trickling in each week. I think it's about time I invest more time in marketing now though (which is probably what I should be doing now instead of posting on HN!)
