The ease of updating Ember apps is really great. I've helped take apps through the early 2.x to latest 3.x. There has been some tedious work involved, but on the whole, I usually know exactly what to do to get the new features. Not breaking existing features is a godsend, because the rest of the team can keep developing features and we can introduce new features via lint rules at a reasonable pace.

Speaking of newsletters, I'd like to voice my love of tinyletter.com. I used it for the first time in 2010 and it's just as awesome 5 years later after the Mailchimp acquisition. I just started another newsletter on it last week and love the experience of using it. (Not posting the newsletter here because I don't want more subscribers and it's off topic), but yes. TinyLetter is <3.

I'd be pretty likely to buy music off Twitter if it was released there exclusively. Come to think of it, I'd be highly likely to buy one-off items from Etsy, Gumroad, and Amazon through my Twitter stream as well.

I would ranodomize it. I don't want to see all the positions for the same company one after the other. Also, the Filter section froze (maybe because it was still attempting to load all the filters? Maybe pagination would fix that?)

Is there a way to redirect all[1] requests to index.html? The use case is an Ember app that uses history location and is deployed as a static website. In this case, requests to `/whatever` still need to serve index.html and let Ember handle the routing. Can GAE app.yaml specify rules like this?

I ran into this problem with S3 and ended up writing a simple server to handle it and deploying to Heroku.

[1] By all, I mean all except the ones to /assets or something similar.
