faebser··on Show HN: Bubblin – Bandcamp for books
I am a huge fan of bandcamp, I buy most of my music because I can download the FLAC files and put them on my streaming server. I was rather disappointed that instead of providing polished, DRM free ebook files but went with a web based version that I cannot transfer to my ebook reader.

I would be more than happy to not only pay the authors but also for the work that you guys do by providing nice clean files.

There is another small thing that bugs me. Why did you choose to emulate books in your reader even down to turning pages? IMHO this is rather unnecessary, just presenting the book like a long article with well done typography would have been enough. (the reason, again IMHO, that ebook readers have virtual pages is that their displays are to slow to have smooth scroll)

faebser··on How to spot symptoms of burnout on your engineering team
Hey dude, i went through this too. Getting away from the computer, meditating, yoga and hiking in the mountains helped me but still it took me a year and a half to get better.

If you feel too much pressure weighting you down go get proffesional help, even if it feels like a defeat.

faebser··on Show HN: CMS.js – Fully Client-Side JavaScript Site Generator
Although this is a cute little project, isn't the name rather misleading? Instead of a generator isn't this actually a markdown to HTML renderer?
