Glad you find the app useful!

Telescope dev here. Completely understand why you'd roll your own solution, but just want to point out that Telescope can be made private just by checking a checkbox :)

These are taken out of context. They're just mock-ups posted to Dribbble to play with new ideas, the designers who came up with them are not seriously suggesting they should be implemented as is. Saying that these concepts show bad UX is li

Those were stupid ideas. Nobody said stupid ideas couldn't be successful. In fact, I suspect an idea's stupidity has very little impact on its success one way or another. Ideas I'd consider not stupid include self-driving cars, Google G

"The changes would likely be welcomed by most, though they could result in a negative reaction from users who’ve grown used to the current Apple way of doing things." What extraordinary insight…

How does Loren Brichter moving to Facebook affect Letterpress in any way? Are you worried you'll now be getting pop-ups asking you to "like the word XYLOPHONE on Facebook"?

A very interesting topic, but I'm a bit disappointed by the article. None of those animations use a physics engine at all… Seems like a part 2 with more complex animations would be needed.

Are people ironically upvoting this because it's absolutely ridiculous to speak of "flat" icons? (what's next, "flat fonts"?) Or is this one of those "HN is going to hell" moments I hear about?

This is awesome! Also confirms that just because I've been listening to hip-hop for the last 15 years, doesn't mean I can rap…

How can I get one of these "HN Verified" accounts? Are you the person in charge of verification I should be sending my credit card information to?

What are some good alternatives to Google Groups then? Seems like it'd be good territory for a startup?

Well, people who are already users of the app can still use it like before, right? So I don't think you can say Apple is endangering the company in the short term. Sure, it sucks to lose a few days' growth, but it should still be possible t

You're better off just using one of the many great mobile-optimized versions of HN out there. I don't think HN will ever have a mobile version, although I would love to be proven wrong.

Outsourcing is something I need to get better at. For some reason I never feel at ease giving away control of my projects, which is why I often end up spending time on peripheral things like setting up servers or coding up mockups. There's

Good point. I didn't get any complaints and my unsubscribe rate wasn't any higher than usual, but that might be because I sent the referral link as part of the regular Sidebar newsletter. On the other hand, if I had sent out those links on

Glad to hear you like Sidebar! And you're right, the open rate is much lower than usual (19% vs 63% for the one before). I didn't noticed it before because the daily edition containing the same referral link that I sent on the same day went

Thanks! I don't know if the referees are more targeted, but now that I think of it the referr ers are certainly a high-quality segment. For example, one Sidebar subscriber ended up referring 8 new people! So it can be a good way to identif

Let me know if there are some parts of my write-up that aren't clear. And thanks for putting together such a great service! By the way, speaking of incentives Zapier's own referral program is very well done. It's quite fun trying to earn al

Note: I posted this once previously but it seems like it got flagged, because it very suddenly dropped off the front page. I'm reposting under the assumption that the flagging was a false positive, because I can't see anything wrong with th

It's scummy practice to ask for a tweet in exchange for a huge UI pack that took hundreds of hours of work that you're getting completely free ?!

I won't read this, because I feel like I've been reading the same exact article every day for the past year. It's not a question of fanboyism. I completely agree with everything he's saying. I just don't understand why he needs to address t
