Google scraping for dummies :-)

EdgeNet — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 04:58:04 +0000

We get a lot of requests at proxiesapi.com to scrape Google and we have had to turn them away because it's just so difficult for even an experienced programmer to overcome Google's defences. So we decided to do it ourselves. Very excited. We hope big things will come off it. Watch this space in the next few days. Sorry for this post. I just had to tell someone.

Implemented auto responder

Somehow couldn't bring myself to create a follow up sequence. Finally did it for EdgeNet. Phew. My users will at least remember that they signed up to the service.

Stripe alternative in India?

EdgeNet — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 17:14:05 +0000

I use Paypal currently to get subscriptions for my app EdgeNet. I cant provide a seamless user experience and collect cards during signup. Stripe does not work for an individual in India. Does anyone know a service that works like Stripe in India?

100 beta users

EdgeNet — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 05:29:56 +0000

We reached 100 beta users for EdgeNet. Tactics used to get here: Community posts like IndieHackers, WIP, Reddit communities like r/startup r/sideproject We also have a few paid customers and will be reaching a little milestone in that as well.

Crossed 5 paying customers

EdgeNet — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 16:06:35 +0000

I had posted when I got my first paying customer a few days back here. Today I crossed 5 paying customer. 1 from the earlier post. This is not how fast this was supposed to go. EdgeNet is probably it for me.

First sale Got my first customer

EdgeNet — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 12:25:47 +0000

I was trying not to think about the first paying customer and making a big deal about it. I tend to build it up in my head and always stress myself out. This time it was different and it was such a thrill to see the Paypal notification come in. First paying customer for EdgeNet guys! This will keep me going for a long time.

Posted My Startup To 120 Directories

EdgeNet — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 16:10:17 +0000

Here is the list of directories I submitted to and the results for each for EdgeNet. Might be useful for others. Note that I have left out Product Hunt, Hacker News and Beta list out of this. I will submit there at a later date.

A static version of your website hosted on a CDN?. Test it here for free

EdgeNet — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:32:21 +0000

Ever wondered what a static, CDN hosted version of your website would feel like? Ever wanted to see how much better it would perform? Test its page speed rank on Google against the regular one? You can now do that risk free. My new product EdgeNet does just that. Basically, EdgeNet is going to be a SAAS service that converts your website into a static one and deploys it on a world wide CDN automatically. It also detects content changes and automatically syncs it. I am developing this because I needed a way to increase the page speed for many of my websites but wanted to retain the control that a CRM gives me. Just tell me your website and I will create and host a temporary static one on a worldwide CDN in very quick time. All for free. Then tell me if you find any issues or have any other feedback. That's all I want. I want to test my technology against as many different types of websites as possible.

Need to break my technology. Can you help?

Yesterday I asked for help testing my new side project. It was great fun so I want to make it a challenge and get as many edge cases as possible. So here is the context. Basically, EdgeNet is going to be a SAAS service that converts your website into a static one and deploys it on a world wide CDN automatically. It also detects content changes and automatically syncs it. I am developing this because I needed a way to increase the page speed for many of my websites but wanted to retain the control that a CRM gives me. So I need as many websites as I can test. If you want a static version of your dynamic website (hosted on a sandbox) just for the kicks, throw in your website here and i will make a dynamic one and send you. Then tell me if you find any issues or have any other feedback.

Tested 100 Websites

EdgeNet — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 09:35:39 +0000

I just finished testing a 100 websites back to back for issues on EdgeNet. I am nearing launch and didn't want to be surprised by any kind of website. So this involved not just testing but also fixing edge cases that are invariably found. EdgeNet is going to be a SAAS service that converts your website into a static one and deploys it on a world wide CDN automatically. It also detects content changes and automatically syncs it. I am developing this because I needed a way to increase the page speed for many of my websites but wanted to retain the control that a CRM gives me. By the way, I need as many websites as I can test. If you want a static version of your dynamic website (hosted on a sandbox) just for the kicks, throw in your website here and I will make a dynamic one and send you. Then tell me if you find any issues or have any other feedback.

Dynamic vs CDN hosted website - performance analysis

EdgeNet — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 07:51:36 +0000

I recently dog-fooded my own website EdgeNet. Basically, EdgeNet is going to be a SAAS service that converts your website into a static one and deploys it on a world wide CDN automatically. It also detects content changes and automatically syncs it. I am developing this because I needed a way to increase the page speed for many of my websites but wanted to retain the control that a CRM gives me.
Today I used EdgeNet on EdgeNet and no, there was no disturbance noticed in the space time continuum.
All i got was a website on steroids, near instant page loads, world wide CDN and insane response time compared to the single AWS instance my CRM driven website is hosted on. Here is the original one where I update my content and here is the production one which automatically syncs with the original content.
So here are the differences between the 2 versions... To measure the performance, I used Google page speed ranker.
What the ranker cannot detect is what happens at scale as well. Even at a load of a thousand visitors a second, there will be no accumulated delay.
