Looking at the original thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2924731 ) I don't see anything like that. Can you help me understand what comment you're referring to?

This is a really great idea. One of the things which young startups often spend too much time on is picking a perfect name + brand. This is a great way to get started. You can always iterate later if necessary, but this gives you something

This is excellent news, and a good alternative to YC. Because of the Yuri/Conway offer, YC had been a substantially more financially viable program for a lot of startups that need capital to get moving- This helps level the playing field. W

That's surprisingly hard to do ;( Neither android nor iPhone give access to the voice stream.

Very interesting hack. I've been trying to access the voice settings to modem-dial for a while, but I didn't think to (ab)use SMS this way. Why T-Mobile only, though? In theory, you should be able to use this to talk to any SMS gateway, but

Very neat. I like the name quite a bit, and I like the idea. It's always good to have a reminder ;) Does it run client-side, or server side? I'd appreciate a textarea version to test with, as a demo, before I either give you my Google Crede

It depends on which set you use. There are three sets- The default set has 10 base colors, 10 base faces, 10 Bodies, 10 Eyes, 10 Accessories, 10 Mouths. There are then 2 sets of 10 backgrounds. So 3(10^6) (2 10) ~= 60,000,000

That is really cool! ;) I didn't realize that this was a use-case anyone was interested in, but it sort of makes sense. I've added a parameter you can pass to RH.org to deal with the gravatar pull on my side, so you don't have to. This adds

I love the idea, I just wish there were more of a game there! I think this might be do-able with timing puzzles, perhaps, or having to open doors on the right, then double-back, and open a door behind you, etc. It's a great concept for a jo

I actually think it's somewhat unlikely that Apple will add this, due to their deprecating quitting. They don't want you think about quitting applications at all, they want to hide that under the rug. Making quitting more explicit (like thi

Awesome! I love the app, I'm sure it'll save my butt a few times ;) I've loaded the demo version for now, I'll buy once it's in the MAS. One suggestion- You might want to add an option to add itself to startup; I know how to go to System Pr

I'd be curious to see if conversions went down, as the average price went up. People who only wanted to donate $12 may have seen the frown, and decided "This amount isn't wanted", and left, rather than increasing their donation? If we assum
