Do you have a source for these claims?
Spone··on Piwik 3.0.0
Question to other Piwik users: how do you manage the ever-growing MySQL database to keep response times acceptable? Where do you host it?

My Piwik instance is nearly unusable because any non-trivial request takes ages.

seems off-topic to me :)

Spone··on Show HN: Moltin – eCommerce Back End as a Service
Hi, could you elaborate on how you prevent lock-in? We are interested in moving away from TicTail for our own shop, but do not want to reinvent the wheel so we can focus on developing a few custom features.
Spone··on Give HN: *.til.io resolves to 127.0.0.1
If you use Vagrant for development, there are some plugins that will modify your HOSTS file automatically when you start your Vagrant VM. See for instance https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater

Spone··on Show HN: Upmin – An Admin Framework for Ruby on Rails
This is great compared to the other admin frameworks I tried, but I think you should now spend some time on UI polishing (size of the fields and filters, visual hierarchy) to make it pleasant to use without any additional customization.
Spone··on Carousel – Gallery from Dropbox for photos and videos
https://www.carousel.com/help

Q: How many photos can I put in Carousel? A: The only limit to the number of pictures you can put in your Carousel is the amount of space in your Dropbox. If you have a 100 GB Dropbox account, you can have up to 100 GB of photos (that’s about 40,000 of them!) and videos in your Carousel.

Q: Where are my photos saved? A: Photos in your Carousel are stored safely in your Dropbox account. Specifically, photos you take are saved in your Dropbox’s “Camera Uploads” folder. Photos that you choose to keep will be found in your Dropbox’s “Carousel” folder. Within the “Carousel” folder, photos will be stored in folders named after the person who sent you the photos.

Spone··on The Food Assembly – Buy directly from local farmers and foodmakers
I've been a user of the French version (La Ruche qui dit oui) for the past 6 months. Now they launch their international (European) website.

The concept: a platform to connect local farmers and consumers. All orders and payments are managed by the platform.

Here is the charter, translated to English, to give you a better view of how it's working: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=...

Spone··on Introducing Thumbprick [video]
Nice video!

Seems quite similar to the Tab Groups feature in Firefox[1]. Is it the reason Firefox is not supported yet? Could you point out the pros of Thumbprick, compared to Firefox Tab Groups?
