prottmann··on Ask HN: What'd you do to get your first 100 users?
Thats the holy grail of marketing, and you will not get the answer here.
prottmann··on Migrating from MongoDB to Cassandra
Like always: "Use the right tool for the job". I did not think that this was MongoDB(10gen)s fault, they (viber) choose the wrong database type for their needs.
prottmann··on Angular JS Kinda Sucks
For that you can use a simple library like http://www.ractivejs.org/

But it depends on the complexity and size of a project and how many developers are involved. I prefer frameworks too, but for a small WebApp, it is overkill to use frameworks like angular/backbone/whatever.

prottmann··on Angular JS Kinda Sucks
But he write what most of the developers misunderstood. Many people use Angular for jobs, that will be easier and faster done with a simple jQuery.

"Get the job done" got replaced with "its cool to use xyz".

prottmann··on Dug.js – A JSONP to HTML Script
On the other side that make the creation of templates (somethings) unduly complex.

I created http://apidocjs.com and had the problem that i needed some "simple" logic in the templates (handlebars). For such things i must implement a separate view with configuration/data modelling/... and Helper function, but that makes the project-output complex, because i want that the people can change the template as easy as possible. Quick & dirty developed i create many duplicate code in the template to avoid a separate view. It was a silly idea, it makes the template more complex ;-) And only because of some missing logic.

prottmann··on Flappy Bird MMO
New header title: "The Day We Flappy Back" !
prottmann··on Flappy Bird MMO
And i will write a post about playing the flappy bird adventure ;-)
prottmann··on Flappy Bird Typing Tutor
In a year? You mean next week ;-)
prottmann··on Drone is a Continuous Integration platform built on Docker
Oh no, 7 Billion people on this planet and they forgot the meaning of "drone" for Yemen or Pakistan, the greatest IT nations on the planet ;-)
prottmann··on 100 time cheaper dropbox like service
Only restricted time for sharing ?

Or is an add-on planed for permanent shares (e.g. for companies)?

prottmann··on Grunt and RequireJS are out, it's all about Gulp and Browserify
Hmm, i don't see much difference in configuration between grunt and gulp. Both do the job.

And Performance? Which Performance? They call tasks that do something, and the task need performance.

prottmann··on Digital Ocean Secretly Wants You to Switch to Larger Droplets?
Oh my god, really! The Digital Ocean company want to sell bigger machines and make more money. Incredible ! ;-)

I dont see the problem, you get what you pay for.

And you can enable Swap space, so where is the problem? We talk about 5 bucks in a month !

prottmann··on Post mortem: Thanks and lessons learned
You add Ads on top of a fundamental function of a phone???

Sorry, but it is correct that google kick you out.

And i cant believe that app users understand what they installed in background. I think many users complained about the ads and thats why google react.

prottmann··on Hand Coding A Personal Website
How many Billions of visitors you need, until a local .htaccess slows down your Website significant ?
prottmann··on Facebook can now read your texts
More connected than what ? I am conencted with all of my friends and business contacts, whats the next level of "more connected" ?
prottmann··on How to Make Time for Your Side Project
In my opinion is Journaling an important way to stay focused on a project.

Casandra post a nice article about that: http://blog.teamspir.it/productivity/journaling-is-productiv...

prottmann··on Google to Buy Artificial Intelligence Startup DeepMind for $400M
Obviously google try to build things for every aspect of our life. Intelligent machines in the our Homes, Cars, at Work. We will not see them in the near future, but 5 or 10 Years google will start a product offensive.
prottmann··on Show HN: Linux server monitoring web dashboard
But Webmin not satisfies the NIH-Syndrom ;-)
prottmann··on RethinkDB raises an $8M Series A
++ for multidatabase support.
prottmann··on My Personal API
Only names like "favorite drinks" are not so nice to use within an App, better name it "favorite-drinks" / "favorite_drinks" / "favoriteDrinks"
prottmann··on Show HN: Responsive web app in JavaScript on HTML5stac
I always wonder what kind of news hit the main page.
prottmann··on Your own mini-Heroku for $5/month
Mini-Heroku for $5/Month and many hours of update the system, find errors, analyse logs, ...

For a small test system ok / or hobby project, but not for a productive usage.

prottmann··on Google is building password-free locking and unlocking into Chrome OS
And how you change your password (fingerprint) ?
prottmann··on The lie of the API
A website change many times, a API stay for a long time.

What would you do with links if the new Web-Designers change all URLs (because of a "fancy cool" new SEO style)?

Which problem did you solve with your kind of view of an API ?

prottmann··on The Only Way to Grow Huge
But many companies have good / excelent products and services and nobody now them.

If the companies grow you are absolutely right, but what did this companies do that they grow ?

That is the crucial question. I think there are many services like Dropbox before Dropbox exist, but nobody now them.

prottmann··on Open Source DB for Web Apps that Syncs
Nice! But why login with google to download a custom version?

Hope to find it soon on some CDNs.

prottmann··on DynoSRC - Eliminate HTTP requests for JavaScript files
Yes the browsers do it.

But this is in case you have a bigger JS-File (e.g. for a Web-App) and your customer visit again, so you only have to transfer a small peace of data.

But iam not sure if the performance / traffic advantage is so high, that dyno justify the effort. And you have one more source of possible error, so i did not think many developer will use it.

The idea is good, but the solution should work automatically in background on the transportation layer, between browser and server, not for app developer.

@Jason Anderson: Call google - chrome developer if they implement it in their Browser and write an apache Plugin ! :-)

prottmann··on CMS Trap
You're talking out of my soul! I see this behavior many many times in the last 10 Years, i admit, i do the same long time ago ;-)

The problem for the mass of developers is, that they "fall in love" with their CMS and that make them blind for obvious things.

We shift away from CMS as central point for web and web-application. CMS is only a tool to maintain simple static data in various languages for many people. For everything else (like shops) we use other systems, that are NOT a integrated part of a CMS.

If interaction between CMS and ohter systems is needed, implement a separate and clean API.

prottmann··on A WebGL game engine
Last update 2 years ago ???

Is it a perfect Engine, that need no support, or did nobody use it.

prottmann··on Show HN: Don't forget useful Hacker News articles, retain by ReRead'ing later
Why only URLs ? Replace it with a textfield (140 Chars) and it is a reminder for everything. Auto-Conntect with Calendersoftware would be nice too.
