MongoDB is not significantly better at any particular thing so yes, Redis can be used as an alternative for the things I may use MongoDB for. Keep a close eye on http://www.amisalabs.com
Please stop posting these. Nothing new in the post. Yes, MongoDB is overrated. Documents store should be capable of doing a whole lot more than MongoDB offers. Sign up to be notified when Amisa server becomes generally available. http://www.amisalabs.com/
Thanks in advance for your interest.
This will probably not be a MongoDB killer. Check out http://www.amisalabs.com. That will have more potential but also probably won't be a Mongodb killer.
I believe someone is tampering with the position of links submitted. I say so because last week or so, I submitted our startup to HN which was on the first page for most of the day and receiving some positive comments/feedback. At some point in the day, we were no where to be found (unless I utilized the search functionality), only to appear again on the first page after a while. Later on in the evening, it dissapeared again.
Noticed!! some dealerships are operating under several distinct domain names which create these duplicates. We are currently working on a solution for this.
Changing sites is not a problem as the algorithms are generic to target any website!! We do not develop algorithms for each provider out there, that will not be feasible and quiet frankly a waste of time on our part.
For geolocation searches, we auto detect a users location. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of a users location as the geo data source is a free version. You can however easily select the miles to increase the radius of your search.
I understand what you mean. but we have actually tested the site several times before posting it on HN. We are working hard at this and will be back shortly. Thanks.
