Whoever decides to write this API, please don't do it in SOAP. Seriously, though, that would be the issue with anything that tries to standardize something so broad--eventually, factions would form and it would self destruct. It would

What won me over was the fact that the else statement is "BULLSHIT".

Funny how that article mentions selfie.com--some vaporware--but makes no mention of the app this is a clone of, selfie.im--which has been around for months. Also see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6721729

Just tried it out on iOS, and happy with it so far. I'd done extensive research on tools, and one thing that bothered me was lack of updates. For instance, it was tough finding a package that was updated for 64 bit (iphone 5s). Open so

The worst thing is never knowing if it is anxiety or something else. Over time you can just assume it is anxiety...but the problem is what if this time it's different. Seems the noise of anxiety could cause you to ignore what could b

Good point, but I don't think it muddles any messages, at least when the audiences are clearly defined. Marketing to devs using Amazon APIs or consumers shopping and watching movies isn't going to overlap.

No, whether or not an app is using the APIs does not affect the battery. As this article states, and for my experience building fitly.io, the M7 is detecting at all times. The APIs only access the activity logs.

As someone who has been working on sort of a competitor...this makes me sad. Everpix was a great tool, such a great tool that it helped push my company in a different direction. I would've been very proud to build what they did.

The Core Motion APIs give you the following timestamps for activity: running, walking, completely still (phone on the table), and "unknown" (either fidgeting, or a few seconds before the chip realizes you're doing one of the

This is really slick. Had I known about this, I might not have built one! But background fetch in my client feeds my addiction.

By posting in Ask HN, I'll assume community discussion is important to you. So I'd recommend my app, Pivit. Besides having a great threading system (with ability to copy), it was designed for iOS 7 and utilizes: ・Dynamic Type ・Con

Comments aren't handled in this app. Try appsto.re/i6xC4GD -- best threading out there.

Yours is my favorite, btw. I added an interesting feature to go beyond seeing what you've read--it indicates what you've already decided NOT to read. I often find I choose to ignore certain posts but they often stick around so I r

It does look nicer than most. For better or worse, though, I find the discussions to be more informative than most articles ;)

This was one of my favorites. Try out my comments system as well--I collapse everything by default, because I found it's easier to tap to expand than it is to scroll forever. It seems odd, but it works really well for me. appsto.re&#x2

Avenir is nice. I need to look more into how to use fonts other than Helvetica with Text Kit automatic font resizing. For Pivit that was one of the must-have features--the ability for those who like larger/smaller fonts to be able to c

That's a good idea for Chrome users, I'll look into it.
