Neptune by Hashnode



 It's a blogging platform -- As you know (Well, as you know now), I have been looking for places to export all of this to another platform, one with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and modern editing capabilities that is actually maintained by its owners. Check it out here on Product Hunt.

You use Markdown to write; As someone who is used to the highlighter and change stylistic appearances way of things, it's a bit of a change. I'm not sure I've used markdown more than 4 or 5 times in my career -- 8 times in my life.

Grammarly is built in;

Technically, they're right.


Similarly to Notion, we can type "/" for commands to appear.

I can't format text the way I like to.


The image may not show up on the final product as I used the hyperlink of the image hosted here.


Ideally, this text 'new and SEO improved!' would be directly under the image and smaller, as a caption. Notion can do that. 


One thing Notion cannot do that Neptune can (or will be able to, as of this writing, it's in alpha preview) -- Is generating outilnes and summaries of your article with AI;


I have seen a program that can do something similar (And I don't recall the name) -- So I see this as a tool, not a replacement. I still have to do the research, write it, and make it understandable to you!

 

 

There's an 'Insert HTML' button, and I'm not sure what's wrong; The ⅰ bubble does not work yet.

This is what happens after I hit preview.

I love the variety of embeds they have!




What are they? Well, a gist is a code snippet. The rest? We'll find out!

How do you use the SEO options? When you get ready to publish, scroll down this pop-up pane;



I think it's a very good start! The built in SEO and ability to connect to a domain for free are great. While I can't style some parts of my post as I'd like (Mainly centering text), that's a very minor complaint. The AI parts have potential.

Neptune seems very based upon being a platform for programmers; There's an option to hide posts from the Hashnode Community and post it on your blog only. I Don't know how the SEO will work in that case, but SEO is based on the wider web and searching through engines, so I don't imagine it will affect your ranks adversely.

Check out my first post here!

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Perplexity AI: The App, For The Everyday Person

   Perplexity AI, according to BuiltIn , is an AI-powered search engine - and it's now valued at 1 8$Billion dollars, with a B. I had it on my phone for research testing - something I do between contracts for money - and simply kept it all this time. With it making a resurgence, I can show you if it's viable for every day use cases.  I did not use it to generate "art" or writing.  Screen Reading and Photo Identification. I have used Perplexity to read Chinese characters on my screen, asking to point out the radicals, tone, and meaning of unfamiliar characters. There are minor differences between what Perplexity answers with and what Duolingo and DuChinese deal with, but I know enough Chinese* to figure out the difference - though a recent study calls the accuracy into question. For instance, below I've asked it what the radical is in  æ°´ (shui, water)      [alt: The character in your image is  æ°´ , which is the Chinese character for "wate...

Log Sorting with AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights

 The cool thing is, I was contracted to make these videos in collaboration with CloudAvail Technology Consulting to help people decide which service they wanted to use for their logging - AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights, DataDog, or New Relic. I'm searching through nginx logs. I have accompanying videos of each service that you can find on the CloudAvail Youtube page; See these links to go to the DataDog and NewRelic posts.   The idea was to be subjective in the videos, but I can be objective on my personal blog.     CloudWatch     The syntax is odd, but easy to grasp. Sort log data by IP addresses, message codes, and status codes. The simplest query system, but not quite robust.   Insights       The syntax has changed - Vastly. I see major SQL influences. You can see that in how the parse function works - in this case, it's often taken pieces of a pre-existing standard - in this case, message - and breaking them into their own c...
