After some researches I ended up with Wallabag as well, hosted on wallabag.it. I've got a lot of things saved, sometimes quite long articles (I read a lot, but I save a lot more) The ePub export was a requirement for me since I moved to Kobo (originally for the Pocket compatibility) after old Pocket app on my 1st gen iPad Mini stopped working. I made some test to self host it but the epub export and the images caching was to much for my Synology NAS. I had some good results with a more powerful machine but I didn't want to keep it running 24/7. And finally the export works well on wallabag.it so I though the hosted version worth its price!

I would suggest an SSD (or Fusion Drive) and at least 8gb of memory (that's pretty much what I have on the Air).

If you take theses 2 options on the 1.4Ghz you're already over the price of the middle range which have a better processor and a better graphic card.

I've found a dealer who has a late-2012 mac mini display piece. This particular machine can be upgraded to 16Gb. Im probably going to go with this config.

The SSD is still a good option with Xcode and Mac OS X. I can't imagine working on a HDD machine ever again.

since you're a .Net developer you should take a look at Xamarin

Thanks.

Xamarin is way behind ios native dev platform and it have issues.

finding an apartment in Paris is a complicated thing but I'm not sure you're in the right place to ask for this kind of help.

My reasoning was "what if an HN reader is trying to rent their apartment in Paris". The probability is so low, but for problems that are not usually recurring, you can find help in the most unexpected places.

PS: I am not relying on HN for this, I am using other rent specialised services as well. This was just a message sent out in the universe, if caught by the right eye I'll go from 0 to 1, otherwise, I am staying in 0, not going to -1.

Thanks!

I totally recognize myself in what you are saying.

I'm waiting to finish my current project (I do freelance contracting) to be able to get back on my own projects and focus on something... but I have the same lake of good ideas lately, or at least I don't really believe in my ideas anymore.

You should consider working on really early stage projects, building MVPs, maybe for equities rather than money.

Mac Mini with a wide screen (>22") + an iPod touch as testing device may help keep in mind that you can run Windows or even Linux on a Mac if you're into that. The hardware will handle it pretty well.

Great work Algolia!

I've join a new company few days ago, this is the first time I'm working remotely and full time. Basicaly we use:

- Github for source code mostly (I've made some pull requests since I'm new on the project)

- Hipchat, since I've join, Skype before that.

- Dropbox for file sharing and design.

- Google Apps

- Basecamp for project managment

and I may not know the full stack yet but we use cloud services for everything!
