Show HN: Black Friday deals for developers
- evacchi 12y agoDeckset is 50% off!
- james-skemp 12y agoDrat, I was hoping you were the creator. Being able to exclude tags (iOS apps for example) would make this very valuable.
- relix 12y agoI am :) I just added a filtering box where you can type something in. Excluding is just a tad too complicated a UI to make simple enough in a short time, so it's include-only for now.
- estefan 12y agoNo intellij deal :-(
- nonane 12y agoHere are a couple of my apps on sale. I'd be happy to give coupons to HN users - shoot me an email: haseebq _at_ jumpdesktop.com Jump Desktop RDP & VNC for iOS: $15 -> $10: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/id364876095?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/... Jump Desktop RDP & VNC for Mac: $30 -> $15: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/id524141863?mt=12 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/...
- techbubble 12y agoDoes Jump Desktop support RDP file transfer using copy/paste? I looked at the product description but didn't see this noted.
- nonane 12y agoNo it doesn't support copy-paste file transfers yet. Supports folder redirection though.
- taoquay 12y agoThe Design+Code deal links to dealroundup.io instead of designcode.io.
- relix 12y agoThanks, that's fixed now.
- notjackma 12y agoI expected more, nothing really interesting on that list. Just the usual suspects, the same old Mac software that's (1) always on sale or (2) bundled up every few months.
- TheSoftwareGuy 12y agoI had the same thought. Now I remember that most of the best software for developers is already open source.
- eps 12y agoSimply not true on Windows. Hardly true on OS X, but otherwise, yes, gcc is free.
- ForHackernews 12y agoReading this list makes me happy I develop for/with Linux.
- netheril96 12y agoEh, the fact that there are a lot of paid software for Mac is not indication of the lack of open source software. It only suggests a healthy market. There a lot of open source software for Mac, too, and I frankly does not use any software on this list. In fact, the POSIX nature of Mac OS X means that the majority of open source software on Linux are also available for OS X.
- cfontes 12y agoWhere is Sublime and IntelliJ Idea???? They are the only ones that matter :D
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- adamnemecek 12y agothat tweet is from 2013.
- turnip1979 12y agoI was dreaming about a Jetbrains deal too.
- imcn 12y agouse emacs
- elementai 12y agoYou're being a bit irresponsible, people are not really the same after embracing Emacs. First you try to understand what's the deal with all these parens and year later you frown at almost everything that isn't Lisp.
- ausjke 12y agoGot one course from udemy at $19, not bad.
- w1ntermute 12y agoAny suggestions on O'Reilly books to get?
- Aldo_MX 12y agoJavaScript: The Good Parts
- acomjean 12y agoLove javascript the good parts. Also "Unix Power Tools" I have found to be a useful reference.
- markivraknatap 12y agoI'm getting this book - Learning Spark Lightning-Fast Big Data Analytics http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028512.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028512.do
- melling 12y agoI'd like to find a great course that teaches design to developers. In particular, mobile or web.
- xaritas 12y agoI haven't gone through the course so I can't vouch for it, but perhaps this is of interest: http://bitfountain.io/course/ios-design/?couponCode=general http://bitfountain.io/course/ios-design/?couponCode=general For people who purchased the iOS 8 course based on Swift, there is a further discount to $39 until Monday (not sure if this applies to people who haven't yet purchased the course, so caveat emptor).
- vonklaus 12y agoMaybe you should consider finding a designer who wants to do developing, and take turns teaching eachother.
- latishsehgal 12y agoPluralsight has a bunch of courses you might like. E.g http://www.pluralsight.com/courses/hacking-user-experience http://www.pluralsight.com/courses/hacking-user-experience. I got a 30% discount email from them. http://www.pluralsight.com/signup?discountCode=b2cfall2014mon&utm_source=pardot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b2cfall2014tt_2 http://www.pluralsight.com/signup?discountCode=b2cfall2014mo...

- nathanbarry 12y agoI'm running a deal on my design and marketing books here: http://nathanbarry.com/black-friday/ http://nathanbarry.com/black-friday/
- latitude 12y ago30% off Bvckup 2 - https://bvckup2.com/purchase/?code=BF2014 https://bvckup2.com/purchase/?code=BF2014 Not a dev tool per se, just a general purpose app that may come handy as a part of the development pipeline. Here's the Show HN I made several months ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8027405 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8027405
- jbinto 12y agohttps://pragprog.com/ https://pragprog.com/ has 50% off all books. I don't see that listed here.
- anuragramdasan 12y agoaren't those for ebooks?
- jbinto 12y agoThat is true, the discount is only good for e-books. I hardly even thought to make the distinction. These days, for technical topics anyway, the "e-" prefix is just as optional for "book" as "mail".
- jasonlotito 12y ago> These days, for technical topics anyway, the "e-" prefix is just as optional for "book" as "mail". No, it's not. If you sell me a book, and it turns out to be an ebook, that's a scam, and I'm getting my money back. Technical topics or not.
- velocitypsycho 12y agoIt feels very much bait and switch cause their big seller isn't eligible. You don't know that until you add it to the cart and try the coupon code though.
- n9com 12y agoWe are running a Black Friday Mac App Bundle here: http://bundle.fiplab.com/ http://bundle.fiplab.com/
- Void_ 12y agoZone (time tracker) - 40% off - $2.99 - http://appstore.com/mac/zone http://appstore.com/mac/zone Zonebox (timeboxing) - 40% off - $2.99 - http://appstore.com/mac/zonebox http://appstore.com/mac/zonebox
- tga 12y agoVMware is doing 30% off on Fusion. I'm looking at it for some extra performance over VirtualBox, and so far it seems to deliver. http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion
- ludwigvan 12y agoNot to hijack the thread, but I just created this thread to discuss the book deals in particular: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8671630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8671630 Which technical books have you recently read that could appeal to the HN crowd?
- welder 12y agoWe're giving WakaTime premium out for the student price for 1 yr (applies to team plan too). Student price is $5. Use this coupon code on the billing page: HACKERS-GIVE-THANKS https://wakatime.com/ https://wakatime.com/
- kolev 12y agoWhat if you're an existing customer?
- welder 12y agoIt's meant for new customers, but send me an email :)
- welder 12y agoCan't see why this is getting downvoted. HN is becoming rampant with downvoters who don't even bother to leave a comment :(
- BorisMelnik 12y agosweet product, thank you
- vruiz 12y agoPity that jetbrains didn't join the party (I know they are Czeck). At least, I got me some little snitch && pixelmator 50% off which it nice.
- crimsoneer 12y agoIt seems they haven't had a sale in ages, which is a shame because I really want Pycharm but won't pay full wack for it.
- vruiz 12y agoFor pycharm, the community edition has done me an excellent service. but it's true that I'm far from a power user.
- toyg 12y ago>It seems they haven't had a sale in ages, which is a shame because I really want Pycharm but won't pay full wack for it. They've dramatically reduced discounts since they introduced the Community edition. I can't blame them, tbh. Try the CE, it might be enough for what you need.
- rebootthesystem 12y agoSorry, not picking on you, but statements like yours kind of bug me. You want a quality product yet refuse to pay what the developers have determined is both fair for their development and continued evolution and support for their product? Well, then, use something else. Disclosure: No relationship to Jetbrains other than being a happy customer who paid "full wack". I do wish they'd improve their support though. My experience has been it's mostly crickets for a while before you hear back.
- turnip1979 12y agoI'm surprised why this upsets you? You are making a fundamental assumption that price is somehow connected to input costs. This is not true for anything other than commodities. An experienced marketer was giving a talk in one of my biz classes in school when someone asked him how one much one can sell X for. His response was ... however much you can sell it for :-p So tldr ... pricing for all non-essential goods is a game played by the seller and buyer. No one should be upset :)
- CodeWithCoffee 12y agoOP: There's a typo in the title for ReadKit: > ReadKit RRS reader (should read RSS).
- relix 12y agoGood catch! Fixed.

- blueside 12y agonear the bottom of the the list is a course for sale: "How To Market Yourself as a Developer" it's regularly $599, but wait, now it's $299 but today it's on sale for $190! sounds like somebody definitely has the marketing part figured out

- yaj 12y agoDaisyDisk 50% off http://daisydiskapp.com/ http://daisydiskapp.com/
- fake-name 12y agoWho the fuck would pay for that, when WinDirStat, KDirStat, and Grand Perspective are all free, and far more powerful, while still being quite easy to use. It seems to get mentioned EVERYWHERE, but it offers nothing compelling.
- saiko-chriskun 12y agoI prefer DaisyDisk to all the above
- redacted 12y ago> it offers nothing compelling to me. I fixed that for you, you forgot for a moment that your subjective ranking of software features is not a perfectly objective metric that holds for all humans. Personally, I prefer Daisy Disk because it it fast, well designed, and I find it easier to reason with its representation of space used.
- nullcode000 12y agoSnappyApp - 75% off - http://appstore.com/mac/SnappyApp http://appstore.com/mac/SnappyApp
- mattront 12y agoPinegrow Web Editor - 10$ off for personal license, 15$ off for company license. http://pinegrow.com http://pinegrow.com

- rebootthesystem 12y agoSuggestion for companies running Black Friday deals for techies. Don't run them with midnight to midnight hours based on the EAST COAST!!! Run the midnight EAST COAST until midnight WEST COAST. I was looking at transferring dozens of domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap today. Their deals ended at midnight east coast. I'm in Los Angeles. Don't know if the domain transfer deal ran for a specific sub-segment of the day, which means I would have missed it anyway. I thought I'd just highlight that ending online deals at midnight east coast makes little sense. Particularly on a day when people can be very busy during the hours that brick-and-mortars are open or, barring that, if they happen to be enjoying time with family, which may have bee the primary purpose of travelling for the holiday weekend. In other words, be smart about how you make these decisions while at the same time being considerate to the customers you are trying to attract. Also, one hour deals? Really? I probably have over 50 domains still left at GoDaddy. Do I really have to get that done in one hour? It almost guarantees that some will not be transferred until next year. Not ranting, just voicing an opinion. I could be wrong.
- tosh 12y agoIf you're interested in getting 30% off for the first 6 months on any plan @ Blossom (https://www.blossom.io https://www.blossom.io) reach out to us at hello@blossom.io and mention "HN & Black Friday" :)
- ivanr 12y agoMy book, Bulletproof SSL and TLS, is available at 50% with the coupon BLACKFRIDAY: https://www.feistyduck.com/books/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls/blackFriday https://www.feistyduck.com/books/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls/bla... Please note that the discount on the bundle (paperback and digital formats) is about 48%, due to the coupon limitations of Shopify. For full disclosure: we currently have a small discount for everyone, and the coupon adds 40% on top of that.
- jalcine 12y agoThis thing has Apple so far up its ass, systemd can't even come out the other end.
