Take a look at the extended license, which you'll be needing in many cases. $999 vs $28, for a single site license. No thank you.

matthijs_··on Show HN: Mega Boilerplate
Can understand that, but it does seem that hapi is gaining popularity, hope you'll reconsider!

Ember FastBoot? And React also published something similar recently.
matthijs_··on Rendering React without browser JavaScript
Reminds me of Ember FastBoot. Different framework, different use case, but relatively easy to implement.

matthijs_··on Show HN: Browse Hacker News from the Comfort of Your Terminal
I see these solutions a lot lately, HN browser, weather, etc, all in the terminal. Perhaps a silly question, but why the need for browsing it in the terminal instead of a browser like say, Chrome or Firefox?
matthijs_··on Why I Chose Hapi
Excellent write-up. I have been playing with Express a lot, but for production I am seriously considering to start using Hapi. Creating applications for the healthcare sector comes with lots of requirements and regulations. If you take that into account, Hapi makes a lot of sense, because there's a lot of boilerplate code available in the plugins (most of which are perfectly maintained) that will be required in the app.
matthijs_··on Material Design Lite Components in HTML/CSS/JS
Great implementation of Material Design, the best I've seen so far. With other material design implementations [1] I ran into problems with checkboxes, sliders and other design choices, as well as problems on mobile. I appreciate the design choices made for MDL. It also runs smooth on mobile and the form elements like checkboxes and sliders work really nice.

Also, useful documentation along with codepen and easy clipboard buttons.

Following.

matthijs_··on Apache Cordova: after 10 months, I won't using it anymore
Exactly, I absolutely love Ionic and it's the fix for most of the issues raised in the article.

matthijs_··on The role of a Senior Developer
> A senior developer will understand that this job is to provide solutions to problems, not write code. Because of that, a senior developer will always think of what they are doing in terms of how much value it brings to their organization and their clients vs how much effort they are putting in.

Nicely put. Good read.

matthijs_··on Django 1.8 and Python 3: Complex app tutorial, end-to-end
Great job. For me personally, it's very helpful to have an end-to-end tutorial, where all aspects of an (example) app are discussed. I don't have a CS-background nor many years of coding experience, so a tutorial written by somebody who does have the proper experience and knowledge and puts it all together is extremely valuable to me. That's why I'd happily pay a fee for tutorials like this.

At the moment I'm working on building an app in Node.js with Express and sadly, there are not many tutorials of this quality.

matthijs_··on “Invalid username or password” is a useless security measure
Excellent point. However, I think username / password will be (at least partially) replaced by this:

matthijs_··on Mobile Web App Checklist
I really like the mobile app you posted here, very slick and fast!
matthijs_··on Mobile Web App Checklist
I often tap the top status bar in iOS to scroll to the top of the page. Not sure about other users, but that shouldn't be something a developer is 'breaking' to provide a truly fixed header bar. Love the idea of a truly fixed header bar though, so I'd love to see a different solution to this problem.

matthijs_··on Show HN: Voice - An iOS App that lets blind people read
Great product, English works great. I also tried it out on Dutch text, but that didn't work so well of course.

But still, very nice! Probably also a very useful tool for people who have dyslexia.

matthijs_··on Thought you had seen enough scroll-based animation? Think again
I like these scrolling animations on my desktop, but it's too bad they don't work well on touchscreens.
matthijs_··on Show HN: Aptible – Deployment platform to automate HIPAA compliance
I'm an ehealth / mhealth scientist / developer in The Netherlands. My biggest headaches come from infrastructure issues / security, so a product like Aptible would be great for me and my associates.

Seeing as I live in The Netherlands, and my end users (patients) will be Dutch, I'm bound by Dutch law. I'm no attorney, but I think it will be problematic to store electronic health records in the US.

Seeing as scientists / developers in The Netherlands are at the forefront of ehealth / mhealth development, are The Dutch somewhere on your list Chasb?

Different scenario: me and my Dutch associates would like to launch an ehealth / mhealth product in the US. In the eyes of US law, are we allowed to do this?
