We are working on something similar at StartHQ. In addition to listing which services any given company uses, we've also been thinking of listing the technologies the services themselves use, e.g. https://starthq.com/apps/?technology=mongo

At https://starthq.com we are working on producing similar report cards for all the web apps out there. For the web app developers out there: is there any other information that you would like listed?

Actually the core StartHQ app is less than 10 files: the libraries and application each have their own JS and CSS files, then there's Font Awesome and a couple of images loaded by Bootstrap. The rest is one third party analytics JS file &#3

It's not just a few milliseconds though. For example at https://starthq.com , we are based in Finland, but host on Amazon in US East. A round trip to the US is 200ms+ whereas with CloudFront it's 8ms. Before we used a CDN our page took a f

StartHQ ( https://starthq.com ) is a web app directory and launcher. We are very happy with AngularJS, having used Backbone before. If there's enough interest, I could do a blog post about our experiences. We are actually adding the ability

Agreed. I think this would be very useful in a business context as well, but business users need an alternative form of login. In the end I ended up to our B2B web app directory anyway though: https://starthq.com/apps/quotered

We've had a similar experience at https://starthq.com . One thing we noticed when writing directives is that it's often faster and easier to implement them from scratch rather than wrapping a jQuery plugin. Also, we've pushed a couple of f

What I've also found is that Node (V8) tends to have much higher variance in response times when compared to Java Servlets (JVM): https://github.com/olegp/common-node#benchmarks

by olegp 14y ago
In the mean time you can use fibers with Node. I've been using them for StartHQ ( http://starthq.com ) via Common Node ( https://github.com/olegp/common-node ) and to be honest I don't see how I could have made it maintainable with promises

I find Nashorn particularly interesting, as well as Node.jar: http://insin-notes.readthedocs.org/en/latest/JavaOne2012/nas... Hopefully Nashorn will give http://ringojs.org a boost as well.

The ground freezing technique is 150 years old: http://www.burnsmcd.com/BenchMark/Article/Ground-Freezing I knew it was at least 30 years old since it was used in subway construction in Moscow around the time I was born but didn't realize

Couldn't agree more! Consumerization of IT is part of the reason I started https://starthq.com . I feel that there's a really big opportunity at the intersection of internal IT, employees and third party developers.
