It Rocks. Bought it yesterday, had a simple game up and running in 10 minutes....and 80's flashbacks the rest of the day :)

Something like PICO-8 would work great for young programmers I think http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

Awesome... I had avoided roles to keep things easier to understand but will check out the PR.

Well Cloudformation is AWS specific, whereas Ansible could be applied to other platforms and environments. So might be easier to learn/master just one tool?

by Rabidgremlin 11y ago
Yeah it was really hard finding good examples to piece this together. Also I'm not sure this is a best practice example as it probably should use roles....

Mmm I'm not sure. The Ansible AWS modules use the Boto library so perhaps there is more info in its docs somewhere?

Tell me more... I suppose one could do some form of page scrapping in the background and then generate a notifucation

I know, the app is embarrassing simple, maybe a 100 lines of code but apparently people find it useful.

Fantastic feedback, thanks!

Thanks for your comments, lots to think about

mmm, very informative. Need to go look at those policies again.

Yes it is. I actually came across Tinfoil after I released my app. It does the same thing buts its "marketing message" was different so I did not find it when I first went looking for this type of app :(

Agree

It does.

A million dollars? How so ?

Unfortunately this wouldn't be technically possible as the app just wraps the FB mobile web app.

Yeah I noticed that... very interesting

Thanks, the name was a (rare for me) bit of genius :) I like your thinking but I wouldn't begin to know how to shop this idea around. I'm on the otherside of the planet from say SF so door knocking would be a little tricky. Intere

I'm thinking this is the way to go. Leave the existing app as is and use it to up-sell. So do I add the photo upload feature (most requested feature/bug) to the existing app or put it in the paid only app??? Good guy me says put i

That is awesome! I'd suggest: 1) You work you way through all the Android dev YouTube vids from Google: https://www.youtube.com/user/androiddevelopers 2) Use the app compat and app design support libraries 3) Test

by Rabidgremlin 11y ago
Good point. I'm a software dev by trade. Considering the opportunity costs, perhaps I should just use the app's success for brag rights.

I'm careful to never mention Facebook anywhere in the app or its description. FB is in logo and of course it does load the Facebook app so a very thin line I think :)

No problem. You could always bump me up the early access list in return :)

Oops... I posted it because I thought it was a great idea/presso/product and the HN community would be a good place to get feedback from. Apologies if it was premature!

The entire universe was procedurally generated because you couldn't hold all the data in the memory of an early microcomputer. I have a write up on how it worked here: http://blog.rabidgremlin.com/2015/01/14&#
