We are adding in notifications to our website. Here's our rundown:

• humane.js
  • http://wavded.github.io/humane-js/
  • Doesn't support message stacking
  • Supports multiple colors
  • Doesn't have "x to close" built into it?
• Notifier.js
  • http://rlemon.github.io/Notifier.js/
• Has message stacking

We are building a Node.js service which will need asynchronous support for tasks like sending emails. Here's our evaluation:

• kue
  • https://github.com/Automattic/kue
  • Good: Seems well documented
  • Good: Supports retries and backoff
  • Good: Uses Redis so 1 less thing to maintain
  • Bad: Only supports Redis so have to wary of key eviction at later stages of growth
  • Bad: Slow to resolve issues

We are planning on building a Node.js service. Here's our evaluation of the current ORM landscape:

Last updated: May 2 2016

• Objection.js
  • http://vincit.github.io/objection.js/#introduction
  • Bad: API is Promise based and bulky. This means people can forget to have an error handler due to not being error first
    • http://vincit.github.io/objection.js/#getting-started
  • Good: Uses JSON schema for validation; this means content should be relatively reusable between server/browser
• http://vincit.github.io/objection.js/#validation

• 86kb minified, 25kb gzipped

Python modules have 2 syntaxes for importing.

from x import y

import x

Absolute imports are used for importing top-level modules and only top level modules. These are ones that are globally installed, either inside of Python core or via a package manager (e.g. pip).
