There are a couple of reasons but I can cite a few, I tried to push for PaaS and failed the hard way: 1. No widespread practice of environment provisioning automation. Today Docker…

I agree. If we can start a culture of relying on SQLite instead of PostgreSQL/MySQL, a whole server-side application can be a simple standalone binary. Also, having a binary makes …

They do something which is "common" in Apple-land (Dash for MacOS does this, a Twitter client did this as well, over and over): They get the same app, add some features, call it v2…

I think it is a pretty fair as they have people working full time in their products since their conception. I'd rather companies providing their source and strugling to monetize th…

Extra kudos for not using jQuery!

I like the "slim" approach on LOC, kudos to that. I would point some - IMO - design problems: # Static attributes and methods. Are they really needed? They are difficult to test an…
