#TIL: “Ukraine” is the English transliteration of “Україна”, pronounced oo-CRAY-yee-nah
I just assumed that we pronounced it the same as they did.

#TIL: Angular's web-server doesn't deal with networking like #nginx or #apachehttpd (both of which work fine on test server).
I learned that working on https://github.com/Faldrian/bandcamp-scraper
