Good points in there. I have a little trouble with "mistake #5" though.

I found that worrying about deployment automation early on is immensely valuable, especially for side projects. I don't always find time or interest to keep working on side projects after a regular day of work. Quite often there are weeks or even months where I abandon a side project only to come back at a later point when motivation is back or things have settled down and leave more time for my side projects. If I didn't take the time to automate testing and deployments (which makes a lot of what continuous delivery is about) I find myself struggling with getting things up and running and become frustrated before I even get started.

Then there's only one way to make sure that my test and deployment automation keeps working: running it regularly, e.g. in a pipeline.

So, yes, don't over optimise your deployment pipeline early on. But having one in place early can pay off really soon -- and maybe even keep your side project alive.

Sure, why shouldn't you be able to create game graphics? As long as you can export rasterized images I see no limitations on what you could or could not create with a vector illustration software.

Could you elaborate why Sketch didn't work out for you?

Not entirely. The spelling reform (about 10 years ago) somewhat reduced the use of ß but you still use it frequently after a diphthong (as in "Straße" [street]).

Same thing happened on /r/ubuntu as well. It's just plain annoying. This way the real discussion about the new Ubuntu version goes down in the noise of users stating that Saucy hasn't been released yet or doesn't even get started.

Very neat and clear. I found some interesting new libraries while browsing.

I did have a hard time figuring out what those odd numbers on the right side of each row should indicate, though. Displaying the percent symbol on hover does not help either. You should provide a tooltip in the individual rows as you do it in the detail views. Otherwise this number just feels odd, especially in the "Trending" view.

I'm currently developing a continuous delivery pipeline for our company myself so I'm very curious to see, how this service works at a more in-depth level.

It's very disappointing that the only information they provide to "explain" their bold statement are some colorful boxes listing the names of some tools and services. I do not want to sign up just to get even a basic understanding about what I can and cannot do with deploy.io

Seems like it has been shut down. The site currently only provides a message that this has been an experiment:

While we have concluded this particular experiment, we constantly experiment with new and more secure authentication mechanisms.

Stay tuned for something even better!
