Unbridled curiosity. I highly recommend the book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" - it's very good and insightful into how he approaches situations and how his thinking style shapes him and eventually his surroundings.

Looks awesome man, just starred and downloaded it. I absolutely love 8tracks, and listen to it all day at work, driving, in the gym, etc. Can't wait to fiddle around with it.

No problem. A couple buddies and I take turns trying to wreak havoc on each other's software when it comes time to ship. It's quite fun and very good for ensuring interface and codebase stability.

Have you had a lot of people that aren't you try to break the living hell out of it? Especially those not familiar with the usual workflow? Especially those that take pride in destroying things? If it can pass that, and you're confident goi

This blog post doesn't do Creativity much justice, especially this nice little summary quote at the end: The best models come from biology, physics, mathematics, microeconomics and psychology. Just think about what every freshman knows, an

I almost feel as though it was a kind of Steve Jobs's "Connect The Dots" thing for me. [1] Let's see, I can say that the earliest I was ever exposed to programming was when I was 12 years old. The online game Neopets was huge between a few

What about other specific online media? How do I cite a Reddit comment? An insightful meme in QuickMeme (the text could be helpful and part of an overall commentary, regardless of how you feel about memes in general)? I feel the best thing

This is an AWESOME idea. It needs a little design help, but this is something I would use every week before going to the grocery store, then forking and revising as I change recipes after making (which I do). In fact,I could see this gettin

Hmm, try removing from working memory (don't delete the app!) and reopening to see if that fixes it. May be having a hard time loading the site.

Gonna' implement the scroll-down on the next release. That's a great idea.

Guess I wasn't too clear (ironic with unintuitive haha), but I've seen a lot of apps that have icon buttons that don't tell much about what they're gonna' do before you click on them. It's my goal to make things as clear as possible and I'm

Thanks for the comments (and about the name further down, unfortunately I didn't consider that, but I'll stick with it for now). I'm hoping to add some more options into the nav later, like using an API that allows me to add logging in/upvo

I'd lie if I said I wasn't inspired by Alien Blue, it's by far my favorite and most-used app on my iPhone. Thanks for the kind words!

Definitely working on this. The function I had wasn't lining things up properly, so I may have to change the framework of how I'm doing it to get it to work. It was super buggy and I didn't want that clouding it up for initial release. It'l

Great idea. Would adding a "hide read" feature be something anybody else is interested in?

Should be. It may take a little while to proliferate through Apple's system. After they told me it was "Ready for Sale", it took 45 minutes before a link worked for me. And as soon as it did I posted here haha, so it may be just a little bi

Thanks for the comments, maybe icons would work better to make it obvious what they do. I'll play with that.

1. Yep working on it right now (landscape mode) 2. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to get to Page(n) with the api I'm using for this: http://hndroidapi.appspot.com/ - if anyone uses this for their own and knows, hook a brother up!

Okay, so I originally made this app for myself cause I didn't like the UI on other HN readers. In that vein, I probably didn't add some stuff that people would like in a HN client, so I want your opinions on what to include/remove/improve i

I signed up for the Github commit one. We'll see how it goes, at least it can't hurt.

To be honest, I feel like in your minimalist efforts you have created an easy-to-draw-with app, but not necessarily one that's easy to use. The grabber should take you to something akin to an action sheet (no real minimalism inherent in tha

Cool idea, and I think it has potential. I like the minimalism, but the colors (it's picking via algorithm, right?) are a little too much. Personally, I would use it if the colors had organization: Politics is this shade of blue, Sports is
