cookrnon AngularJS is amazing, and hard as hell

AuraJS is another project to check out along the web components track: http://aurajs.com/

Not nearly as experimental as Upcoming, but Sunrise http://www.sunrise.am/ has been my goto for a while now. A bit buggy but pretty, functional, and improving.

cookrnon Poll: Do you have a 3d printer?

Would have been a funny addition to the poll :)

Been working on one from a MakerGear kit for 6 months now on and off. Down to the calibration and a bad endstop now it seems. There was a good article recently on how to know which path to go down re: purchasing a printer prebuilt vs. a kit vs. buying individual parts that was a good read.

Did you use a kit or by individual parts?

cookrnon Adventure Adds MongoDB Support

OP here: We're still gathering feedback and testing our service. While in this phase, all provisioned databases are free for testing/non-production purposes. Looking forward to your thoughts!

cookrnon Show HN: provision redis with one command

Excellent thoughts -- thanks for sharing.

0) Video: we'll work to add a textual description

1) It is a REST API that the `adv` CLI is interfacing with. It is not yet ready for generic programmatic usage, but will be in the future.

2) Geographic proximity is important to us too. Even more so running instances on a local network if possible. Speed tests are a fantastic idea and something that we'll keep in mind.

3) Right now we are running instances on a non-standard port with all others blocked. This is not really a security model at all, but we are more interested in ease of use to gather feedback. We have other ideas about security that we're looking into.

Thanks again for your input and encouraging words!

cookrnon Show HN: Antiqua, a way to securely archive private, unused Github repositories

Of course that works and I encourage you to do so. I always appreciate a go-getter attitude. I built Antiqua to make the process simple, transparent and to help myself stay organized.

I dare you to click through the signup and make your first archive! It feels pretty good.

cookrnon Show HN: Antiqua, a way to securely archive private, unused Github repositories

I appreciate the feedback! Your social proof point is compelling.

I am paying Github for the middle individual plan, but I only actually commit to 1 or 2 of those private repositories. So, I archived the repos that I don't have any intention of committing to and freed up those slots by deleting them on Github. Therefore, yes, I am trying to offer you a way to save money because one way they charge is per private repository.

cookrnon Show HN: Antiqua, a way to securely archive private, unused Github repositories

Lotsa traffic -- no clicks to sign up. Should I make it more clear on the homepage that...

1 - it's free to make your first archive? 2 - no credit card info needed to sign up?

Everyone should click through and make their first archive. No reason not too!
