I'm sorry. I don't think i phrased it well enough. I thought this project was quite interesting, because it has interesting new features -- things radically different from the alternatives. Whether those are good or bad ideas coul

CSS animations and raw JS animations perform equally well. JS had a bad reputation for animation only because the common libraries back then (jquery, mootools) had absolute horrible incompetent implementations. This also has nothing to do w

Not the OP, but RethinkDB is superior in many ways including stability, integrity and the feature set for pretty much every use case you would consider using MongoDB. But with Jespen tests MongoDB can finally be considered a contender. Its

Yeah, that would be a great example of AGPL used to FORCE many parties to PAY for a non-AGPL license. For example, imagine Digital Ocean using MongoDB to store server configurations. AGPL would force them to open-source their whole infrastr

Gmail does something more interesting. It shows the image by default if the url is not unique, or the image is an attachment. It also uses googles servers to download and cache the image when receiving it.

You would be surprised how common that is. For example, Steam is world leader mostly because 90% of the world can not use any of their cards or method of payments to pay any of the other stores.

Thats just called software engineering. Its not a bad thing when 95% of the code in your project is borrowed (i.e. when you use a framework), but ducktaping stuff together will only get you so far. For the size of the example project (singl
