Notes.

I’ve just launched the site for an app I’m working on: deps. It’s a private, hosted Maven repository service. If you were wondering what to get me for Christmas, take a look at the site and if you’d like to never manage Maven or Archiva again, sign up for early access.

Thanks for reading The REPL this year and have a great Christmas!
