Been traveling more recently, and I've seen those ads in major cities like NYC or San Francisco, but not Miami.

I feared this, but also figured if someone is spamming the channel, then it's time to talk to them about understanding how the product is meant to work and that spamming doesn't help anybody.

The problem I see with the product so far is that all the images appear to be renders, and not actual product shots. Also the demo video shows shots from what appears to be a drone; is it the actually Nixie, or is it another drone used to e

Would be cool to have an API. Could be useful for mass address book creation.

I'm having some trouble understanding what your product does exactly. The blue check isn't an official verification is it? It's just one chosen by bluecheck, correct?

Is this the same group of people he brought up on the recent episode of The Talk Show? The group that wanted to essentially take away the original credits (or something to that effect) from him?

I'll talk to something that Pillow did for me that I couldn't easily find in other sleep tracking apps: audio recording. For the past couple of months in my new place, I couldn't figure out why that no matter how much sleep I

Wow. I hate how so many Windows applications are considerably uglier compared to Mac counterparts. The Windows apps don't seem to push forward Windows design but rather get stuck in the Windows XP design days. This is beautifully desig

I think the reasoning they are shooting for 24 is because their application seems to be based around contextual conversation. Having a retention period of zero pretty much eliminates context. Apps like Snapchat, deleting the message as soon

This is where I was really confused. Why didn't the author take this approach? It's definitely the route I would try.

So the author seems angry to say the least. But he brings up a great point. What would the best alternative be in this situation? Apple? Firefox OS? Blackberry?

I love Couple, I really do. But they have seemed to slow down development and taken focus into different areas and not exactly improving the application. Although this is cool, I really wish some features were brought to the app (data expor

Following in line with this thought, I've actually plugged in my iPhone (non-jailbroken), downloaded the sqlite database onto my computer, and was able to see all the messages and URLs of photos sent. Even photos marked as "secret

I'm not sure why this on Hacker News. This whole website has a "scammy" feel to it.

Open source iOS apps are extremely helpful to anyone learning iOS development. There are intricacies to learn, and not everywhere teaches it all. Looking at someone else's completed iOS source code you can learn and understand UI/

Agreed. I'm going to play around and see what I can learn from it, but a small tutorial would help me get jump started as well. Whether it be the coding aspect, or just ideas on how to implement different animations.

For testing purposes, wouldn't using Dropbox suffice as well? It gives a quick way to update the JSON and see changes occur near live in app?

I wonder if using iOS 7's mesh networking feature, if this would be more easily feasible (discoverability of other devices).

Doesn't Vimeo do pretty damn well with this? Or are you looking more for snippets of animation/shots, instead of Vimeo's YouTube length videos?
