Description

### ARc is the result of a failure

Don't get me wrong. I'll speak more deeply about it in the near future, in a blog post. In short, ARc exists because I failed on another project: I had a 3 months deadline, but I spent so much time dedicating myself to the code, refactoring it and researching approaches in pursuit of the best possible structure that I ended up with no project at all, that was just an ugly page with a list of images.

The goal was presenting that to investors. I had nothing to present, so I didn't get the investment.

*Just change wine for [caipirinha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipirinha) and that was me.*

So I looked to all that code and thought *"I failed, but someone could use it to make something great"*. After wiping away tears, I made the code more generic and pushed ARc's [Initial commit](https://github.com/diegohaz/arc/tree/c1c3d604e10b94076fd1d78dc237261cba038d89).

Now, 8 months later, I'm sure that my "failure" has helped many other projects to succeed. I usually search for [ARc based projects on GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=%22clean%22%3A+%22rimraf+%27dist%2F%21%28.git%2A%7CProcfile%29%2A%2A%27%22&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93). As of now, it shows more than 100 projects based on ARc, but those are just some of the public repositories on GitHub.

**So, if you are using ARc, even just a part of it, please share your project, code (if public), experience or whatever you find relevant in this thread.**

Thank you, guys.
