How are you using Syncthing on iOS?

I want to be able to access the same content from my laptop, phone, and tablet. I used Obsidian for a while with a convoluted setup (a Git repo with an iOS shortcut that fetched when the Obsidian app was launched), but it proved too slow an

The ideal “knowledge base” app I’ve been searching for is as follows: - Self-hosted - Attractive web client that loads very quickly and works well on mobile - Can point it at a nested directory of text/markdown and image/p

Nice to see this here. I’ve using a tablet for cursor movement since around 2010, and I find it amazing except for one small issue I’ve never been able to solve: tapping with the pen in order to click is finicky, because if I even drag a fe

I agree about the left-right issue. I just can’t get acclimated to the current controls. Lovely game though, still good fun :)

+1 for Outline! Self-hosted server and web app, clean codebase, loads fast, mobile friendly, actively maintained. I had tried Obsidian, Trilium, TiddlyWiki, and all the rest (not to mention Notion, Bear, etc.). Outline is the first knowledg

Fastmail’s calendar does exactly this - infinite continuous scroll - and I love it. I also find it constricting when I use another calendar (Google Calendar, for instance) that paginates by month. Edit: An image of the Fastmail calendar: h

As a fun counterpoint about case sensitivity in English, consider: - The man spoke to God, saying he had made poor decisions. - The man spoke to God, saying He had made poor decisions.

I agree with you on this. Ultimately I think there's an element of pride ("I don't get taken in by scams!") that I would do well to shed. But looking at the vague list of attributes: - celebrity doctor - passiona

Thanks for this. I've struggled with the effective-vs-true question, even to the point of panicking that I had read too much about the placebo effect for it to work on me. I like your #3 - I'll give it a real shot.

I've seen this book recommended from time to time. I have a condition that falls within the book's purported domain, but when I read the synopsis, it raised all kinds of red flags. As a skeptic, what about this book let it through

Blindsight, by Peter Watts. It's a sci-fi novel that asks fascinating questions about sentience and intelligence, and made me stare at the ceiling for weeks after I finished it.

I'm not always sure. There was a Lifehacker feature, and it's been on one of the App Store productivity lists for a few months, but daily sales vary mysteriously and I have no idea where the little spikes come from.

Continuo - http://continuoapp.com It's a numbers-free habit tracker for iOS, for people who want to self-track but don't want to deal with remembering and inputting precise values all the time. I'm not buying heli

Plenty of professional animators use rotoscoping. Modern CG animators often reference video recordings of themselves acting. It's just another tool, not some form of cheating.

Given the tone of the site, I assume it's the creator's friend, or maybe the creator. Personally I think it's a hilarious change from the fake-looking testimonials you usually see on startup sites. Edit: yup. :)

No worries, the bassoon is never anyone's first choice ;)

Not to derail, but as a bassoon player, I'm curious how you landed on the name.

Update: The fixed version is live, and I have confirmation that it's working correctly on iPhone 6+.

For anyone using an iPhone 6+ experiencing a crash: It's a memory issue specific to the 6+, and I've submitted an update that corrects this. Apple's doing an expedited review, so the fix should be out very soon.

Yeah, this was a strangely tough screen to design. There's no established shorthand for "swipe this way" - I tried arrows in both directions, and each time approximately half of my testers swiped the wrong way. Gotta think ab

That's so nice to hear. I've so been nervous about launching and this incredible HN community makes that fear seem ridiculous. Thank you!

Awesome, thanks for the support!

Shucks. If you would email me at naftali@continuoapp.com, I'd be very grateful.

It's stored locally, and does not currently sync. I'm actively trying to figure out sync for multiple devices, but at best that'll be months away (if I do it, I want to do it right. I have nightmares about losing people'

Thanks! I'm definitely intrigued, but I can't promise anything because I don't really know what's involved in porting it. But it's on the table!

Thank you! The reminder icon was a tough one, and ended up in the main header based on beta test feedback (and my own opinion). But you're right to catch that possibility, and I'll keep it in mind. :)

I got worried about supporting older OSes (there have apparently been changes to push notifications between 7 and 8). Probably not a necessary limitation, but as a relatively new developer I'm playing it very safe.

Wow, you've made my day. Thank you for this, and for so perfectly understanding my intention.

I totally agree. In this case I made this app initially for myself, and the current feature set is exactly what I want, so I'm not really tempted to bloat it with features. Thanks for the feedback!
