I agree, a discussion of ventilation seems like a critical omission from the article. Do vent hoods help, and to what degree? Is installing more effective / higher CFM hoods a productive avenue to explore, vs replacing the whole stove?

(I'm the author of the library) I'm almost certain you're correct - we (thought) we had compression enabled on our feature builder and never found the root cause, but regardless we're happy with how BTables ended up for

I like this idea! Having spent so long in Ruby land, I'm not as familiar with the Scala|Clojure|Haskell library scene, but I'm sure that's easily remedied.

I'm not terribly interested picking up another web framework. I've looked into Play before but am looking for a non-web project for now!

Goodmate looks fantastic! You definitely have a lot of features that I would love to try and build into Payback. I'm actually thinking of doing my next project in Backbone too - do you recommend any particular resources for getting started?

Is your version still available? I would love to check out your take on it! I built this for the exact same reason - I'm in a shared apartment of 6, so I'm hoping people in similar situations will be able to get some use out of it. Good sug
