People keep saying "admire the transparency", "appreciate the transparency", but really what's the point? Who is the "transparency" for? I really couldn't care less about my salary being made public t

I am quite sure you're objectively wrong about snapchat userbase and their user behavior. Also, not sure what your point is with regards to my comment. Maybe my point wasn't clear. My point was just because something doesn't

If you're talking about profits, youtube wasn't a good company before the acquisition, and it still isn't. But it is an important company.

I'm disgusted at how this publication is using a click bait title to describe an otherwise perfectly fine startup, for their own pageviews. No journalistic integrity whatsoever.

The fact that you're saying "it's free because we no longer need to generate revenue" is exactly the problem. It means you didn't even think this through. If you had, your answer would be different. It's just l

I agree, but I think that's Android's problem. I found that it's janky no matter what you use. I first thought it was the webview thing and built a native java program, but it isn't so much better. I honestly don't

Using "WebView" doesn't just mean performance issues. It's a matter of choosing the very stack itself. You're starting out with browser as your base. There are many things that come with that decision. Also that Bit

WebViews do suck on mobile and it's not a myth. People talk about how it's catching up but that's the problem: it will be a perpetual "catching up" game, forever. Devices are built with proprietary technologies and

Really cool, how is it unique in terms of what it can do, compared to a regular web browser?

More like "Apple does a PR piece to convince developers that everyone else is being wooed so they should be wooed too". I miss the days when Apple used to generate hype simply based on great product, instead of artificial pieces l

Unless there's a legitimate reason for subscription (if it's cloud based and deals with private content) the law of supply and demand will kick in, which means it will work for these particular types of apps but won't work fo

Wow it's amazing how this post became #1 on front page, just based on criticism, no sarcasm. I guess it is true that all press is good press.

yup, that's what jira does.

Maybe you didn't get the memo but MS is not an OS company anymore (at least their top priority isn't). Everyone knows desktop platform has been commoditized by the Web--you can do pretty much anything through the web interface, an

it is true but both trello and this app is based on Kanban, which tons of other productivity tools like Jira implement so I guess it can't be blamed too much

For some reason I feel like I have become some sort of FB defender, but I am not. Just to be clear, I am not a fan of FB. I even completely got rid of my FB account a year ago because I got sick of fake interactions on the site and have nev

Tell me what's factually incorrect about "Chrome doesn't support push on iOS". Want me to spell it out for you? Here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34588506/ios-web-notifica... I am amazed

Why do people keep saying "Chrome supports push on Android" to criticize my comment which says "iOS chrome doesn't support push"? It feels like talking to a wall almost.

by galistoca 10y ago
Please read my other comments on this thread. Basically just because Android supports it doesn't mean it's all good since iOS doesn't. Also the "open web" you think you have on Chrome is not really that open as you

by galistoca 10y ago
I keep saying this in every comment I made on this thread, but I'm talking about the entire mobile ecosystem. Who cares if Android Chrome supports it, iOS doesn't. Which means it's not a 100% coverage. Just by letting this ha

I'll assume, by Chrome you mean desktop Chrome. This is irrelevant to my comment. I was specifically talking about realtime push notifications via mobile devices. Also remember that your preference is just your preference, many people

by galistoca 10y ago
As far as I know it's not supported on iOS. Even if Chrome had push notification on iOS I can't think of any logical reason to build a push notification inside Chrome if I were Facebook. You think Chrome is open web, but it's

What you described is a "symptom", not a "definition". However let's say that you're correct and think for a second. Where do you pull out this notion that something has to be a technology to be disruptive? Her

I'm not a FB fanboy or anything, but sometimes it is a good choice to free yourself from legacy tech burden and build for the future. The web (html documents fetched via http requests) were not built with mobile devices in mind, especi

So it sounds like you think you have the "glimpse of the future". Well, nothing is stopping you from doing it RIGHT NOW, instead of posting on HN about how you need money to do anything. When you think you have a good idea but not

I think it's by design. They're already doing well without the discovery and the lack of discovery is probably one of the key reasons why people like it. Snapchat is more about keeping in touch with people they really care about t
