I am in a plan to use cartoDB or MapBox for one of my data visualization application. I would like to know whether is there any features restricted between shared codes and the own hosted solution? Is the shared codes missing any fancy stuffs?Is there any hidden things in their API's? What benefits one gets for the paid solution? Thanks in advance.
Those two companies have websites where they've posted detailed pricing plans and their benefits:

I have a client who has a bunch of data that she wants to put into a database and have it searchable and filterable for paying members only, ideally on a subscription basis (monthly, 3months, yearly).
I've done a couple of projects using KeystoneJS, so my first thought is to build out the DB/CMS in keystone and create a small front-end application in NextJS for registering users and subscriptions powered by Stripe.
Does anyone else have any experience building something like this? Any recommendations or suggestions? I know I could obviously do something like this in WordPress, but I prefer JavaScript. Although I could be convinced if anyone has a compelling argument!
Thanks!
Disclaimer: I'm on the Keystone dev team so possibly biased 😅 That said, Keystone does sounds like a good fit for your project.
One project I've worked in particular sounds close to what you're doing – a large website with Stripe-based subscriptions that unlock additional functionality. The site has over a million registered users, 30k of which are on paid subscriptions. Keystone manages all the data, the admin UI (used by staff) and most of the API generation. The dev work was mostly to build out the public, Next.js frontend. The solution and general architecture has worked well.
You mention search and filtering. The GraphQL API Keystone generates is extremely flexible in terms of filtering but doesn't currently offer any full-text search functionality (though, it is planned). Depending on your exact requirements you might need to go beyond the basic configuration. In the project described above, we flattened some of the content out behind the scenes, added some full-text indexes and extended the GraphQL schema with some search queries.
Whether it's this kind of extension, custom field types, hooks or customisation of the Admin UI, Keystone has a lot of "escape hatches". It very much tries to create a framework that guides common solutions while also helping developers extend and build on it as a platform (without getting in the way).
I am trying to help witth rescue operations in Nepal.
I have setup a Google Form here and that information gets stored on a Google Sheet.
Now, I want to provide a map (OSM) that would autopopulate using data in the Google Sheet (there is a column with GPS coordinates.
Is this currently do-able? It would be ideal if I could provide an endpoint where various OSM maps could get the Google Sheet information from.
Thanks in advance.
You can use Leaflet or OpenLayers to place markers and popups on top of OSM maps. uMap might also be worth looking at.
Additionally there is also the Humanitarian OSM Team (HOT) doing various tasks for helping the Nepal rescue teams. The 2015 Nepal earthquake wiki contains an overview, guidelines and specific tasks. It might be useful to discuss your ideas with HOT.
In short, no. I've been in communication with Google about this. It's currently not a feature, and they have no plans to add this feature in the future.
And I, for one, desperately need such a feature! I'd imagine if thousands of us flooded Google with requests for this feature -- maybe they'd add it?
hello supersmart stackoverflow users!
Im wondering.. is there any software or tool (web based or otherwise) that helps and streamlines the whole technical and functional specification writing process so that we as developers/website can sit with clients, assess what they want to create/achieve and write up the spec efficiently and easily so that when its approved it can easily be passed onto the webdev people and they can create what is set out in the specification?
Thank you in advance!
Specfox is a SaaS designed just for that. You upload the screens (layouts or screen grabs), add notes and pinpoint to page elements, and generate PDFs to share with copywriters, designers and developers, or whoever you need to involve. It was the best online website specifications tool I found for a website redesign we did.
If you're still looking, take a look at Axure. It's built just for this. It's awesome
I'm wondering if there's an off the shelf CMS available that is similar to something like Mobile Roadie - ie: it will allow you to create multiple versions of one application? I'm looking to develop some mobile travel guides for iPhone/Android/Blackberry etc, and rather than get a CMS built, I'd like to see if there's something out there is similar to Wordpress in that it will allow us to input text, images, Google Maps details, phone numbers, email addresses and potentially some audio/video content.
If anyone knows of anything, I'd love to hear about it. Also, if you have any ideas regarding pricing, that would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance for your assistance.
The chances of you finding something "Off the shelf" diminish as your requirements get more specific. You want something for a limited and specific target audience (iPhone, Andriod, Blackberry) that can deliver many different types of very specific content (addresses, maps, text, images, video).
From my experience of building a CMS for one of the world's most famous travel guides, I can say your chances are slim indeed. The technical requirements of managing this type of information are huuuuuge!
But hell, I could be wrong! I hope you find something that solves your problem and you make the world a better place!
PS: Maybe you should simplify your requirements and build from there? Good luck. :)
I just dropped a reply on this question:
How to setup a CMS as a backend for iPhone app
You could look at this blog for a drupal showcase:
http://drupal.org/node/900630
and at this wordpress plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Personally I am trying with tikiwiki.org but I am not sure yet if it is right.
Cheers
We created a very flexible CMS called StorageRoom which we built specifically for mobile apps.
You could easily let users manage locations with maps and additional fields.
What is the most typical structure of business where you want to develop several web services? Should one establish a company for each of them or keep under one? I would like to hear your experiences maintaining such situation, keeping in mind the global focus.
By far the two most critical sets of issues determining the answer to this question are legal and financial (including, but not mainly, accounting). So it's hard to see how this question fits with the intent of this site.
It is advised to provide more background information on the topic. Business plans for SaaS companies can range from large cloud computing service vendors (with integrated solutions) and up to business analytics providers targeting specific market niche.
Business is a bit like programming: Keep It Simple (Stupid). Do not create multiple companies, unless there is a good reason to do it.
If You Planning to use python, you can use Django to build saas application,
this video Build SaaS application in Python django will explain about getting started with Sass.
