   OS X, Windows, Linux: Yes, yes and yes! Now we say that we sync passwords that's only between Android devices. I think the real killer is when we make an app your laptop that sync via bluetooth from your phone. Great that your 3G is working

   I assume you mean text message? Sometimes the app gets notified of the incoming SMS before the users sees it.

   I agree, we did our best to keep the app permissions at a bare minimum. But I guess you can say we failed. As soon as you start doing anything interesting you want a lot of permissions. But good point. I'll update the Google Play descriptio

   That's really cool. Would be cool to do the same thing with NFC now that most phones have it.

   Cool app! Why do you prefer it? Any special feature you feel that Instabridge is missing?

   I don't think the app is that useful if you're only using it to access just one Wi-Fi network. I think the real benefit is when you install the app on your tablet, smartphone etc and suddenly you have access to all of your friends' Wi-Fi wi

   You can use the address book too! No Facebook required.

    Thanks! I'm glad you like it! iOS is unfortunately a bit restricted on the Wi-Fi front. Hopefully Apple will open it up in the future.

    Nope, but it's available in plain text if you root the phone. That's why we only suggest you share with people you trust. There are a bunch of stuff we could do to prevent even that.

    Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, while "Dropbox for Wi-Fi" being technically wrong it's the shortest way that we could describe Instabridge that most people grokked. My previous comment: https://news.ycombinat

    Hi, Niklas from Instabridge here. To expand a bit on the "X for Y" description: Instabridge makes it easy to sync wifi credentials across different devices, share credentials with friends, and revoke access. The Dropbox analogy has been pro

    I always had to mail a link to the Dropbox file on iOS. And searching for old emails was hit and miss on my iPhone. On Android you're basically using the same search function as on gmail.com.

    1) Just as it is about to lock the screen it checks if someone is looking. Doesn't matter if it's one or two persons. If you're looking away at that instant it locks. A reasonable compromise that ensures it works more than good enough if yo

    Can only agree with OP. I gave up my iPhone 4 for a Galaxy Nexus this summer and have never looked back. I think Google can still work on the default look, but I find Android to be very "clean" and quick to work with. Android feels much mor

    So basically what he is saying is that Apple was unable to build a iPad Mini with a retina display and good battery life. But in a defensive move they decided to enter the 7.9" market anyway.

    It's in a different price range than phones with LTE and SD slots - $350 unlocked which is insanely cheap.

    I had the same reaction as you. But to answer your question and being a startup founder myself - doing a startup is just an amazing experience. It's a bit like trying heroin (not that I've done that, but from what I hear). The highs are ext

    The fact that you think you can understand the outcome of such a huge decision in just 10 months is telling. Come back in 10 years.
