I kept coming across questions of the "Ask HN" variety that were too complicated to answer fully in the setting of HN.
I've had my own share of "Ask HN" posts answered quite generously, so here is my attempt to repay in kind. At the request of the community I've not posted this here but instead on my own site.
Hopefully this is of use to some of you, any and all criticism is of course more than welcome, I'll spend a couple of hours every week on expanding it and fixing bugs or by writing about subjects that are not covered right now.
