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, ...

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...

AWS Infrastructure Composer

 A very brief look. The text says; Drag and drop any CloudFormation resource on a visual canvas Connect and configure enhanced components to automatically build IaC for an application architecture Seamlessly transition between authoring workflows visually with Step Functions Workflow Studio and defining resources with Infrastructure Composer Integrate your browser with your project through “local sync” or use Composer in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code In 2019 there was a similar tool to build infrastructure that would be converted to code. Nice to know they bought it back. When you enter the Composer, it's a blank space with a background reminiscent to the screen for Cloud Formation. Infrastructure Objects are to the left in a drawer;  I've selected a bucket that I can rename. I went to connect a bucket to a Dynamo DB Table, and it's not available yet. It also lost a bucket somewhere in the ether of the GUI. Ah well. I couldn't find the EC2 instance in the...
