Perhaps there's a higher percentage among the HN readership, but the number of people who make it to 'just' a 1kSPM base is very small indeed as a fraction of the playerbase. Only 18% get as far as launching the rocket accord

I have several 'home-cooked' apps. One is our shopping list. I have a Pi with a touchscreen in the kitchen running it, and it's easy for us both to add to from there. I also built in functionality so that if we're using

I love watching Google's attempts to unify/create/destroy messaging platforms, seeing them compete as if they are competitors on an episode of Takeshi's Castle.
