I have a Meteor app in the app store (built before this official support) and had no trouble with the approval process. The ability to update over the air is quite nice. The only time you have to resubmit to apple is when you update the obj

For those wondering, it's a Meteor/Telescope ( http://telesc.pe/ ) HN like forum with a focus on APIs. I'm curious to know where you're hosting it (modulus, heroku, etc), how many servos/dynos you are

I'm confused about these lines: "As self-employed, independent contractors, though, UberX drivers receive a Form 1099-MISC...Subsequently, UberX drivers are hit with a 5.6 percent tax deduction for each mile they drive...if he or

I'm a big believer in testing APIs. As mentioned in the post, these tests can serve a similar purpose as integration tests, and can double as documentation and API health checks. I've been building a tool that makes it easier to w

This actually has nothing to do with who is online or if the app is currently requesting info. An example: You have a posts db table (or collection in the case of Parse, since they're using MongoDB) and a user_posts table. The user_pos

For me, a combination of books and building a real, substantive app works best. I was actually in the same boat as you a couple of months ago. I have significant experience with Ruby/Node, and studied C++/Java in school. I decided

This makes a "fan-out" model for any feed-type app pretty difficult. For example in an app with friends or followers, when a user posts something the app would perform inserts to add the post into the followers/friends feed t

Reminds me of the top iOS paid app right now - A Dark Room. I wonder if he got some inspiration from that game.

I don't understand why this is on the front page in the #11 spot? It has 4 points and it's 45 minutes old.. The HN rankings system continues to confuse me. -- Clearly its getting overwhelmed with HN traffic. Maybe click throughs a

Interesting, but why not use a mouse or trackpad while holding that sandwich?

Right, it looks like they're going to build something similar to Monetate http://monetate.com/products/personalization . There are already high quality, established players in this space. I'm curious to see how they'll differentiate themse

Great start. From a UI perspective, I'd try and do a bit more to get away from the default bootstrap look. It's pretty immediately identifiable, and makes your design blend in with so many others these days (in a bad way).

Interesting. I threw my take on a Backbone identity map up on Github. 31 extra lines of code. Just add a keepInSync: true attribute to models that should use the identity map. It's a modified version of this code: http://news.ycombinator.c

10/10. In general the giveaways seem to be: 1. Buttons and their rollover styles. 2. Text inputs. In particular, the inset gradient, border radius, and on focus styles. 3. Use of a grid. Obviously many people use grids, but a grid in combo

Yeah I noticed that. My immediate reaction was to click the buttons below the "Which icon do you prefer" question though, since that's how I assume the service would work. I didn't think to click the steps until after I had tried clicking e

Interesting take on a/b testing. A small suggestion - it would be nice if clicking on the buttons after the text "Which icon do you prefer?" actually demonstrated how the service worked. It took me a while to realize that you need to click

Hi Bira, Basically step 1 is we consolidate all the things you're sharing and liking on other networks into one place. Step 2 is we make your feed easy to navigate by organizing everything in it around topics. Say that over the last year yo
