It's difficult to understand a codebase without understanding who built it. I'd try something like CODEOWNERS.com to generate a CODEOWNERS file and see which GitHub users contributed to each piece of the pie


This is amazing, can't wait to setup my DevOps processes to be triggered by Abbot commands. Winner winner.

Can I use Abbot along with Terraform on ECS? Would love to setup some deploy scripts


Thanks! I'm not too familiar with Terraform on ECS, but if there's an API, then you can script it with Abbot.

For example, we have an existing package that uses the GitHub deploy API to deploy software https://ab.bot/packages/aseriousbiz/deploy

If you trigger your deploys using GitHub's API, then you could just use that skill. Otherwise, you can copy that skill's code and adapt it to your needs. Hope that helps!

(In case it's not clear, I'm the "Phil" in the post) :)


Thanks Phil, this is awesome. I'm sure I can leverage AWS API/cli. Also could be a great fit to use Github Actions along with Abbot


boto3 is available in Python skills too, so there's probably a shortcut there for you :)


The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again expecting the same result. Maybe it's time to think of a new growth strategy to get exposure to your content.


pSequel is a free option but best for reads and not writes.

This is great!


I think it offers you the paid tier of each SAAS app. If Basecamp and Shopify is involved it would be way more expensive then 10$ a month. Plus Dropbox!


Seriously!!! When is this launching?


We want to create a network to allow users on HackerNews to communicate, not replace HackerNews. We love HackerNews!


Hello there,

Posting on Hacker News is a good start. But I would consider leveraging social networks to help spread the word. Here are a few options:

-You can integrate Facebook Connect or Twitter Signin to get users to link their accounts to their thematchinggame.com profile.

-Once connected, you can post tweets or status updates about their activity.

-You could also ask them to tweet or to like your website whenever they signup.

-You could also create a simple contest for an iPad 2, and users would need to invite the most friends possible to be eligible. Or you could ask them to like or tweet the contest.

Good luck!


Thanks Nader for the quick reply. Does anyone know the specific email address or contact form to use?
