You're right, I didn't do those things. I don't know many people with a HN account. I got a few stories to the frontpage before by just submitting them, so I figured that would do the trick.

I tried to launch my app marketing tool twice, to no avail. First I posted a link to the site itself (appmarketingtool.com), a few days later to my blog post about it ( http://leoncullens.nl/post/2013/04/13/Windows-8-app-marketin... ). Both

More people opening mails doesn't mean a higher conversion. Everyone sends out their press messages on Wednesday (or 1 day earlier or later). People are overwhelmed with e-mails and other types of contents on these days so they will just qu

ASP.NET MVC? It's very fast, very secure as far as I know, very easy to develop (extremely good debugging tools) and it has the same coding efficiency advantages of ruby on rails (it's heavily inspired by RoR).

I am _very_ happy with Windows 8 on my tablet (Surface). Does that count? On my PC it's ok... I uninstalled all metro-apps and installed normal software instead. I just see the start screen as a new kind of start menu. To me it looks just l

Not meant to be blunt, but there's a really obvious way: make the game better. Make it stand out visually, gameplay-wise, make sure people share your app (you could ask them to rate it, you might give them something in return), make people

Very much +1 for Highcharts. Best charting library I came across when looking for charting libraries. It's a bit on the expensive site though.

Ah, ok. Didn't play the Simcity beta, but that was just my experience with other games.

Where do I find it? Can't find it on Google.

by Avalaxy 14y ago
Probably because most people playing a beta just see it as an opportunity to play the game before it's released. Most people don't understand that they should be _testing_ the game. That's the whole point of a beta test right?

You mean their RSS feeds? They only provide the newest/top apps.

Thanks! I'm currently trying to write my own scraper for the Apple App Store (C#). Had some code lingering around from the Windows Store crawler that I wrote earlier. I can reuse some parts of it. I'm not sure if the Play Store lists the en

Wow, especially your xyo.net suggestion is really awesome. Seems they don't offer a complete data set, but a lot of good data indeed. I wonder why I didn't find this site with google.

I know how to program a crawler (did that for the Windows Store), but the Windows Store simply has a sitemap with links to all the apps. I couldn't something similar for the other stores.

I love, it has some great user name suggestions. It would be great if it would check some more sites.

Yes, Azure is both PaaS (Windows machines that require no configuration) and IaaS (you can install whatever you want, including Linux).

Azure has a free version: free Azure Websites. It's awesome, I've hosted a couple of my own tools/project on Azure Websites. You can easily upgrade to a reserved instance if you need more capacity. You can either choose one of many framewor

Wait, what? That is one very strange conclusion. I didn't apply for a programming internship at Microsoft, it's a market research internship. I don't even have access to the team that developed the Windows Store... So no, I don't work on th

Sorry, my previous post may not be clear. I'm doing research into the store as in 'the available apps in the store, what kind of apps are popular, etc.', not the store itself :)
