You could make it a redirect service for npm modules. e.g. https://js.org/express 301 redirects to https://www.npmjs.com/package/express Another idea is a blog. One of my favorite blogs is http:/

If moving the project to a new server is not feasible, then how does the client backup their data? I refuse to work on projects that cannot be installed from scratch in a local VM.

I would set up a free Heroku application and provide SSL and caching by redirecting it through CloudFlare. I host a lot of static websites like this.

Perhaps this is too far outside of your existing scope of functionality but I'll throw it out there: I would really love a "Hacker News Alerts" feature. I make the same searches every week on a few key terms but it's a m

I use the `dotenv`[1] package with Node.js and it does exactly the same thing: environment variable definitions that you can store elsewhere in a dead-simple format. To be fair, I think they just copied the `foreman` tool from Heroku. Howev

It would be a little more clear if they compared it to L20n[1] (their internal Mozilla browser localization API) and how this is going to bring those open standards to browsers. Let's get deeper than money classes. [1] https:/&#x

I was wondering who found this vulnerability. You have to click through to the Git mailing list announcement[1]: > A big "thanks!" for bringing this issue to us goes to our friends in the Mercurial land, namely, Matt Mackall an

The author doesn't mention the go-to option in this scenario: write a data mapper[1] to dehydrate your object. While I'm a huge proponent of PostgreSQL and the hstore[2]/JSON column types (hstore column type is not mentioned
