Surge for pushing static sites - @Josh_Ellis recommended https://surge.sh/ when we talked about static sites, however I still think GitLab’s really cool for having CI built-in so you can host a static site with:
# .gitlab-ci.yml
pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- echo 'Nothing to do...'
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- master
Statuscake - free monitoring - I can’t remember (it was either Doug or Josh) who recommended https://www.statuscake.com/ as they have a free package that allows you to have unlimited monitors and alerts
Who’d be up for presentations at the next meetup?
I would if I knew what others would be interested in hearing (I’ve got an introduction to the Roots stack presentation in note form but I think we’re all passed that).
For me personally, I’d love to hear about building a Sage 9 site with React or Vue.js
I’m going to be back in London in December and this time for a few weeks. So if y’all are still doing this I’d love to meet up and attend a cool talk or give one or whatever. Or just get some drinks.
Also, shameless self plug (oh wait that’s this whole thing), but I’m still looking for places to stay so if anyone has a couch, extra room for rent, or knows of a good hostel please let me know. Feel free to DM me here or tweet me or whatever.
I’m up for a get-together - I’ve made a Doodle poll to find the best date.
You’re welcome to stop at mine if you venture up to Birmingham (1.5 hours on the train) but I’m afraid I don’t have a spare room/bed down in London, I have to slum it on my friends sofa when I travel down myself.
@chrisk2020 I’ll be around, definitely up for getting something together. I put some dates in the poll above.
@JulienMelissas Would love to help out with putting you up but recently found out there’s a baby on the way so not too sure how my fiancée would feel about that!
Hey folks! Sorry for being so bad about getting back to y’all on the thread. Looks like I’ll be in London from the 16/17th to the 28th now, which makes the Doodle dates kinda null… I was going to be there sooner but honestly it was too expensive to be in London for that long haha.
Anyways, if you’re still up for it, I’m going to be pretty free that week of the 19th, so please let me know if you all want to get together individually. Also, looking for good places to co-work/hang out still!
@nathobson - congrats man! Hopefully my dates don’t throw things off too much. @kuxi, thanks for the offer, and I’ll let you know if I’ll take you up on it. Still working out lodging for about 5 days…
Word @nathobson! I updated the Doodle. Put yo’sef in there if ya want.
Still looking for the place I’m going to end up staying in London from the 19th -> 22nd, so I won’t know exactly where I’ll be, but it’s not too hard to get anywhere from anywhere else haha.
I’ve added my dates to the new Doodle poll, I can do either week until Wednesday the 22nd
@JulienMelissas if you’re still stuck for co-working spaces my team and I recently went to Library for the day which was nice and quiet. We’ve also had a Roots meetup at The Trampery before which was a cool venue.
Oops guys I fucked up… my trip to Scotland got a bit botched so I decided on Lisbon and then promptly realized I wouldn’t be able to attend the Roots meetup. I know there weren’t that many signed up, I still feel bad That said, I’m down to get a pint anytime from the 22nd until the 29th. Let me know via a DM!
