I still prefer pen and paper for notes, sketches, and mockups - I find the process of writing the thought down imprints it much better in my memory than typing it and that helps me comprehend the problem better.

Looks very promising! Can you tell us about the customer development process you went through for this? Did you get a chance to speak to reporters or newspapers about their needs or the chances of them partnering with you, or are you goin

"Based on the iPhone OS" doesn't mean it IS the iPhone OS.

I like the idea. I think it would be better illustrated with shorter lines, though.

Seems like I've been hearing about the death of RSS a lot in the past two years, but as an avid Google Reader user, I can't imagine not having RSS today. The article states: "I for one still maintain a Google Reader account, however I don't

I think it's a nice thought, but I don't think a lack of hosting is what's stopping people here from getting their ideas out.

You should have a vision for your product that is your north star, but for less 'big picture' features, let your users do your prioritization for you. Proactively communicate with them and keep track of feature requests. The frequent requ

I agree that it enforces the spirit of the community. One of my first comments was a joke and it was down-modded hard ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=684509 ). This quickly taught me the community's expectations in terms of quality

Smart boards seem like many lazy school boards' way of saying, "Here, now we can say we're up to speed in terms of technology." My high school did the same thing, and they were never used, but always brought up in school presentations. Inv

I don't think he should reject it. Rejecting it would be an insult and spur unnecessary controversy. He should accept it with grace and move on.

Curious, could you please share how you are covered and the cost? COBRA, Freelancer's Union, something else?

It would also be interesting to be notified when a certain user posts a comment - I have a competitor on this site and want to track his posts :) Nice site!

Seriously - this is making me consider a switch.

Yes, but the point is that it would be done on Facebook, whose user base is much larger and more connected.

I'm curious - what are people's experiences with controlling bounce rates on sites that extensively use AJAX? A user could easily visit my page and browse a great deal of content without a second page request needing to be called. As I und

Not necessarily true. He may just be prioritizing releasing new functionality and sites over improving the design for now.

A similar article was written by the Times in February 09 titled 'You try to live on 500k in this town': http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/09/style/09iht-08halfmill.200...

If someone does make a viral video out of this, I'm interested to see how many days will be lost due to delays :)

Perhaps you're right, but if I was going to release a book and put my name on it, I would want it to be designed by a professional. Books are definitely judged by their covers.

I agree that spec work is nonsense, but these things have a way of working themselves out. If you want quality, you have to pay for it, and quality designers will charge you for it. Many times the parties who ask for spec work don't real
