Google Chrome extension monitors your Rails/Node apps

My new project: track your web apps' performance under load without being flooded by email or keeping browser tabs open all day to watch your stats. This is the first Chrome Extension I've written (uses HTML5 localStorage, yay!), and it basically integrates data from NewRelic RPM's API and Hoptoad's API, both great products. Get lightweight notifications (like Growl) in realtime, and track your Apdex score [1] without leaving whatever page you're currently on. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emencamphkobkmeloepceomcacgejlnc (free!)

    Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
