Wow, genuine thanks! That's one of those "why didn't I think of that before?" ideas.

Just downloaded it and gave it a spin with my Bamboo stylus. Here are my impressions, FWIW: * First impression: Nice tutorial, nice animations when picking a notebook. Great idea to do your app planning sketches as its own notebook. * First

This article, though interesting, is 4 years old (referring to the z-axis as a "recent addition"). I like the technical explanations behind the physics, though! A less technical, but more recent article was in the New York Times last year:

"If you’ve never seen a YC pitch, find a way to see one, or a few dozen." Does anyone have a list of (good) YC pitch decks? Sounds like a great idea to be inspired by what they have in common and what distinguishes them from the rest. Edit:

I still am completely confused at how professional editors at both Wired Science AND Gizmodo that must see loads of fake videos every day were unable to tell the video was a fake. Especially the takeoff had the obviously-CG look about it --

Donating to Kickstarter gives you no guarantees whatsoever. The guy can basically just walk away with the money if he so decides. No, really. This however makes it all the more a powerful concept in my mind, since the "makers" have to figur

Though both the email and the blog response from TSA are incredibly unprofessional, the email is NOT intimidation or a "veiled threat", and exaggerating by claiming it is is not going to help a sane discussion about this issue. What do you

Is anyone able to compare and contrast this with the UDK which seems to be a similar license (free until you make six figures)?

This is one of those beautiful win-win-win situations - everyone in this situation is happy - StackExchange, Balsamiq, and the users. What a great idea, and props to all involved for making it happen.

"Clear feels a lot more Metro than iOS. Not that that's bad." - @agnoster I find that a very insightful remark. I always did like Metro's UI "feel" - simple and sleek with clear edges and clean colors on a black background. Clear is a near

Very reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress, except that it doesn't bring my machine to a crawl.

Actually, reading his biography, it didn't sound like that to me at all. "More time" as opposed to complete ignoring and acting like he wasn't the father, yes. But the reason he had the biography written was because he wanted his kids to be

"Success at the cost of my children is not success. It is failure." I can already tell this post is an instant classic that I will return to many times in the coming years. I was left with almost exactly the same thoughts as he was after re

Just a thought - the screenshots look really great, but you will definitely want to write a much longer app description. I would NEVER buy the app based on that description alone since it is $3 and I don't even fully understand what it's fo

Marketing the app truly has been the hardest part for myself as well... would really appreciate any pointers from fellow iOS devs on "what has worked" to get more reach for your apps. Has anyone tried a professional marketing company for ex

A book I heard about via Matt Gemmell is "Learning iPad Programming" (Kirby Turner, Tom Harrington) - it's really an excellent overview, explained by programming a real-life iPad app step by step. Massive coverage of tons of major topics.

Fascinating (and strangely inspiring) that after ~550 days in office, every single president on the chart had the explicit disapproval of at least(!) 16% of the country.

Quite the coincidence - I just started doing exactly this a few weeks ago, and am fact am reading this at 5:30am my time (when I should be coding :P). It has worked quite well for me as I work on my app. I'm a bit more tired in the evenings

As far as I know, it IS a Facebook app in the sense that it uses the Facebook API to connect you to other Facebookers who want to code race against you. Bummer since it's a great idea but I deactivated my Facebook account a couple months ag

Unfortunately, in most of Europe, home-schooling continues to be illegal - as in, the police show up at your house and pick up your kids if you try...in extreme cases you can go to jail. So we are forced to send our kids to the public schoo

My experience with our educational app is that we actually sold less units(!) when we tried going down from $3 to $1 - we changed nothing other than the price so we have to assume our target group (teachers, mainly) is more attracted to app
