One thing I'd really want to see in an email client is a set of "reply today", "reply tomorrow" and "reply later" buttons, linked to my todo list or calendar.

After using LaTeX for the past ~8 years one thing I have noticed is that instant preview is not adapted at all: LaTeX compilation is simply too slow. I prefer compiling when I want to see how things turn out after making a bunch of changes

You're better off directly reading the Wikipedia entries for NetSci[1]. Except a brief mention to "energy flows", the linked article fails to mention the study of information diffusion, which ought to be the most critical and active area of

The main issue I have with all those services (this one, Parse, etc.) it that a large number of app require actual intelligence running on the server — in order to validate data, send emails, log some kind of analytics, trigger custom event

That's a very attractive price point. I'm really considering switching Tehula[1]'s backend. The previous "basic" plan was too pricey for our needs right now. But this new option makes using Heroku Postgres really attractive. [1] http://teh

It's tiring to see that WASD is always used to control movement, regardless of keyboard layout. On a French keyboard, this is how WASD is laid out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_France.svg Needless to say that it is highly impracti

The location is pretty accurate. Instead of using getCurrentPosition, we actually use watchPosition + enableHighAccuracy to gather location for a few seconds before pushing it to our server.

Great comments, thanks. First, about the cost. I chose to charge 99 cents basically to ensure that the services keeps running: I wouldn't want to shut it down just because it becomes too popular. Next, after doing some market research, it t
