Yes. (They already have rolled their own, why would they switch to apt?)


Awesome idea, and a great MVP at that, congrats!

I don't live in the US and I don't have any place for gardening right now, but other than that, I'd sign up in a heartbeat.


What does the MVP acronym mean in this context?


Minimum viable product


Heroin is actually not that bad for your health per se -- it's the stretching agents that'll get you.


Count me in (Eindhoven). Early January would be perfect for me.


Maybe we should call it a Dutch-Flemish meetup and pick Eindhoven for a central location?


Our product idea tackles the analysis of massive amounts of data. Thus, we require relatively high computing power, data storage and bandwidth, and a rich, interactive UI. Consequently, we are going for a more traditional desktop app approach.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with either web, desktop, mobile, or whatever, which is why I don't understand the web vs. desktop wars that sometimes rage around here. Just use the right tool for the job.


I agree, but I really look at it in terms of what best suits your customer's needs.

Thats why I can't wait to get my hands on Atlas and give Cappuccino a whirl. Complete flexibility between desktop and the web could create a one-size-fits-all solution.


Ha, true. FWIW, though, the character you're describing is played by Dustin Hoffman. Awesome movie, though.


Yeah, you're right. I think the quotes page on IMDB has the names backwards, or I'm really in need of re-watching that film.


Eindhoven here. Anyone interested in meeting around southern Netherlands, drop me a note! (email is in profile).


Eindhoven here as well (sometimes Berlin)
