That is a great post! Thank you for sharing it 🙌
I have a question:
To make every post part of a series, the hint was

series: ["series name"]
or is it something else?
Thanks!
Yea, I faced the same issue.

Hi, I have the same question, I couldn't find any answer yet. I guess we can name the series whatever we want and stick with it until the hackathon ends.
Yea, I faced the same issue.
The answer is
And put this at the very top.
in the "Basic Markdown" version of the post, it's super easy. There's a header between dash lines, just put the series there.
I still can't figure out how to do it on rich + markdown
Cool it seems like we are having another hackathon.
Good luck, and have fun building!

Hi everyone, I'm a product designer and have basic knowledge about coding. I'll be building a digital postcard customization platform where users can customize a postcard, write their message and send to their loved ones through email. They can also download it as PDF if they want to print it!
When the DotNetCore support is launching on App Platform?
You can try using Dockerfile like this sample
ASP.NET Core Docker Container Sample for DigitalOcean App Platform
ASP.NET Core Docker Container Sample for DigitalOcean App Platform
This sample demonstrates how to run a Dockerized ASP.NET Core application on DigitalOcean App Platform. Since App Platform doesn't yet support dotnet core, this sample shows how to accomplish this using Dockerfile.
This sample has been adapted from official dotnet docker sample - github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/tr...
Getting Started
These steps will get this sample application running for you using DigitalOcean.
Note: Following these steps will result in charges for the use of DigitalOcean services
Requirements
Forking the Sample App Source Code
To use all the features of App Platform, you need to be running against your own copy of this application. To make a copy, click the Fork button above and follow the on-screen instructions. In this case, you'll be forking this repo as a starting…
Hi, I can see App Platform has free pan, So Can i deploy Commercial static websites and
.NET Core APIwith 0 $ plan ?digitalocean.com/products/app-plat...

.NET Core API will have to run on the paid tier.
digitalocean.com/pricing/#app-plat...
There is no official ETA for this yet.
As of the time being, you can accomplish this with a Dockerfile in your repo.
This is an example: github.com/snormore/aspnetcoresample
