Today, for the second time, I've published something on Dribbble: a demostration of the previously mentioned scrollable calendar. And, as I encoutered the same problems occourred at the first time, here I take some note for the next one. As I've not (yet?) received an invite

Me: Will this stuff be hosted in AWS? $Customer: No, we are going to host on infrastructure of $PopularTLCOperator! $PopularTLCOperator: Yes, come to us! Me: Fine.
