Ideas for reddit monetization: - Charge $10 a year to keep a subreddit name registered. 500k subreddits, say one half to two thirds pony up, thats $2.5 - 3.3 mil/year. - There is a "trending subreddit" section. Implement a bi

You could at least sign up for gittip or throw a btc/ltc/dodge address up there. I'm sure users who donate will feel just as good as you do when you donate your services. Either way, the app looks great. Keep up the good work

William Shatner is 83. That is amazing to me. I hope I'm that with it and well put together if I make it to 83. I suppose being worth $100 million doesn't hurt, but it still gives me some hope.

Whenever I take vacation all I think about is how many days left till I have to go back to work. Vacations are like one big countdown clock looming over me. I'm honestly less stressed at work I think.

That's awesome. Few questions: 40k revenue or profit? If it was rev then what was your profit (and vice versa)? And are you worried that the sort of initial wave of traffic will die down and you'll be left only selling a couple do

I don't think anyone is saying piracy is not hurting anyone. To what extent, I would say there is a great deal of disagreement. If a perfect DRM existed (completely prevents privacy while leaving paying customers unaffected) everyone w

What is the technical limitation that stops an app from making the camera shoot native horizontal while holding the phone vertical? Would the camera have to physically rotate or is it software and iOS/android just don't give devs

That makes sense. I feel like a crash would have been bigger news. Lucky I caught the stream when it actually went up!

Just open in new tab. Even on mobile it works well because the back button just closes the tab and puts you back into the other window (on android at least, not sure about iOS)

Is Rust supposed to have a similar goals to D? Seems like a lot of (relatively) new languages are setting out to achieve c/c++ performance while having easier to understand/more expressive syntax.

No comments? That's like 70% of the reason I come on HN. ihackernews.com is another alternative for anyone still poking around for good mobile versions of HN.

Solid redesign. Can't wait for a responsive version on hacker news. I use ihackernews.com now but I occasionally have trouble upvoting or commenting due to api rate limits.

I asked on the reddit thread but got no answer: Doesn't PayPal not allow accepting payment for non-existing goods or services? This would include things like pre-orders and donations. If that's the case, this seems like a legit re
