Aye, if I wanted to publish my pdfs, Dropbox would be a bad choice. Sharing to a select group of people (e.g. a link in a mailing list, or on a small online community - it's perfectly valid in my opinion.

Again, this is why I love Dropbox - I don't even need to upload, just rightlick and get a link. As mentioned, it's not suitable for large audiences - but it's perfect for other stuff.

PDF hosted anywhere? Dropbox for instance, or github.

Depending on the installation, yes. You haven't explained what the notepad will be editing.

Why would you need to teach her the "ins and outs" of wordpress? Login, edit a page - you can even keep the edit url as a bookmark, preview and publish. As compared to teaching her about FTP, opening files in a text editor, and ed

It IS much easier. Given that you only have to worry about 2 devices, with 2 resolutions (2x scaling is handled pretty well), it's perfectly possible to make a pixelperfect layout off a PSD (of course, things get a bit complex with fon

I'd be interested in reading more about this - I'd love to show it to some designers I work with. At the moment, I'm struggling to get the designers to acknowledge that Android and iOS need to be designed seperately. iOS desi

Never used sqlite for websites, but wouldn't this problem be better handled by caching? I.e. completely bypass the database, especially for users who will never log in. E.g. Varnish.

I'm guessing it's something like Xamarin: https://store.xamarin.com/ (Albeit way cheaper)

I find the simulator a bit deceptively fast, compared to a low spec iPhone (e.g. iPhone 4). Also, there's the case sensitivity - iPhone Simulator is not case sensitive (maybe depends on your filesystem settings), while the device is ca

Agreed, and you can't even revoke them, they need to be active for a year.

First time I've heard about it too...and I found Testflight invaluable for sending betas to customers, the experience for both developers and end users was second to none. Damn, I really hope Apple doesn't screw it up. But if they

Perhaps Google is better at guessing your focus precisely because they are tracking you?

Personally, I find Xamarin Studio to be quite buggy, often needing several quit+restart a day (I do iPhone apps), a colleague also does Android apps with Xamarin (on Windows) and experiences similar problems.

Agreed - a simple "Do you mind if I write this down? This way I won't need to bother you again next time!" wouldn't have done any harm..

And rather expensive - their recommended pricing is 1000 dollars per developer, per platform, per year...

I agree that identifying them feels like a huge privacy issue - but geographic information would be interesting.

Ive built about 4 apps in Xamarin now - nothing major though. I love the ability to write apps in C#. The language is amazing. However, it can be exceedingly difficult to use 3rd party libraries in your application. It is possible - you can

My MBP (mid 2012) lacks a # character. It can be accessed by tapping Alt 3, similar to the euro sign (alt 2), but whereas the euro sign is shown on the key, the pound sign is not. So every time someone gets one of these laptops, they need t

And why do you assume that is what I meant by "improve"?

I think we all like HN, otherwise we wouldn't be here. That doesn't mean it can't improve.

If they can be resized and used as normal windows - I'm all for it - that's how I use apps on a normal desktop operating system!

At the very least, being able to see a quick preview + dimensions of the image is way better than seeing a huge chunk of binary code. Considering how often web developers have to muck around with images, this should have been baked in from
