I'm a backer of Star Citizen and I've gotten my value out of backing it just from the community and all of the content that keeps coming out on the game. It's been $50 for me for hundreds of hours of entertainment so far, much better value than two tickets to the movies.

I do believe that there has been a bunch of mismanagement, which is a shame, but I still look forward to playing it sometime within the next 5-10 years. No game has ever been as ambitious as the scope of what Star Citizen aims to do.

Fusion.js is a javascript framework meant to be run on Node. There's nothing stopping you from calling out to other backends and asp.net if you stand up a Fusion.js frontend Node server.

Correct about Fusion.js being based on koa. We find that this fits really nicely within the plugin system. The diagram is complex, but we inject the render phase into the middleware stack. Everything before `await next()` is pre-render, and everything after `await next()` is post-render. It makes it very easy to reason about the lifecycle of a plugin, as everything is in one place.

I've been working with the Fusion.js team for the last year now, and I think it's evolved into a really interesting and modern web framework. Internally we've started rolling this framework to a few dozen web applications, and soon we will have hundreds of web apps running it. I think it's a great choice to use as a base for high-performance and complex web applications.

I had the same issue. An Airbnb host cancelled our reservation the day before our booking was supposed to start and Airbnb didn't help us out at all. We ended up paying quite a bit more for a hotel, but after going through that I'm happy to pay more in the future for professionalism and a guaranteed bed.

Electric unicycle? I own several. Some will even go over 50 km/h, though I don't dare go that fast. It's just safe to have the extra power when needed.

Love the idea behind the site! As an intermediate level Japanese speaker I think I could benefit a lot from it, but I had a few suggestions.

1 - Consider having one story from each difficulty available for free. The free intermediate article is a bit daunting for my current kanji level. I would be interested in signing up just for the beginner articles, but probably not without a preview.

2 - If time permits, consider having a button which can display a translation of the entire sentence. Satori reader has something similar and it's very useful when there's unknown grammar

Hope the site takes off, I would love to use and support it in the future.

You're cutting out a lot of the people in the middle and can show better ads. These ads should pay more, and both the publisher and user should make more than what they make today. (It's not hard to beat current payments to publishers, and users get no part of the pie right now).

Targeting can be much better if Brave gives the user the option to anonymously share information with them.
