It's not a good mobile experience yet. It uses almost exclusively native functionality to the <textarea> element without modification and that just sucks in basically all mobile browsers. I've been thinking about the best wa

I'm glad you're surprised! I'll take that as a compliment. Command + A works perfectly for me. Browser / OS?

I took the claims seriously and fixed the problems. I take people being a self aggrandizing jerk on a show HN just as seriously. I certainly may deserve shit but the OP my co-collaborator on the project certainly does not, nor does anyone w

Supporting Firefox and IE are decisions. I choose not to do it until something I've built had had consistent usage for a few months. Then I spend the time and support them but it's a pain. I test on chrome and safari web and mobil

Use "control" not the Mac key sorry! Are you windows? What browser? I don't have the ability to test on Windows or IE and neither does my co-creator (who posted the link).

The Uber driver app and orientation reinforce over and over that you must serve people with service dogs. Just FYI.

I remember when I was first learning CSS and I found out this wasn't easy. I thought "oh my god, this learning to code stuff is gonna be HARD!" A few years later and I don't think anything but the occasional third party

Offering a discount if you're accepted to pitch isn't comparable to conferences (I won't name names) that make you pay to come AND pay to "present" if selected. I wouldn't call that parasitic at all - I think i

Good point, bought in bulk that is probably a cheaper meal. And no I don't have any 3rd-party scientific study proving the long term effects of something that has only been out for 2 years, but thank you for asking. There's an abs

Makes sense - but I guess I would have to ask why not try Soylent then? Soylent is basically the the oatmeal smoothie you're describing except nutritionally complete, so why not just do that? Why make your own that is less healthy and

It's actually AMAZING! I've actually been pretty deeply embedded in the crypto community for a while and have spent some amount of time with the Stellar folk, and I after reading the gn I understand Stellar (and even the blockchai

Comparing this project to real open source projects with VC backed parent companies is negative, yes. The implication is that investment in those companies is as frivolous as this project at least appears to be.

The fact that this parent comment is clearly up-voted and this comment is "greyed out" is emblematic of what I personally think is wrong with HN commenting. The above comment is not helpful, productive, and is unnecessarily negati

This just got hell banned. How does that happen? What could possibly have been the problem with this little notes app?

Open source: https://github.com/tomasienrbc/notes Code isn't the best right now and it's PHP, open to re-writing to be more language agnostic.

I used Angular for the first time recently building a little example demo based off a template that used Angular. It was so horrible to use in basically every way, however some of the concepts (as noted in this article) intrigued me. I woul

Stripe does that now too which may have contributed to this.

This is a great concept, it doesn't work. After I got a few I knew were right, I cheated and it's not working. Maybe it works in some other version of google than mine.

The problem with this quiz, and so many like it, is a bunch of the passages were so badly written. A badly written passage could be a human or a computer, there's no real way to distinguish that. There are 3-4 in here that are well con

I expected some backlash as Jessica made here "hey guess what, I'm a co-founder of YC and I was as important as anyone" tour complete with this post. Glad to see it wasn't that bad. For those that are put off by Jessica

I believe someone setting up a way to broker first customers to become stakeholders in new companies for pre-paying for services would be huge. I've been in a situation where that would have been totally warranted and valuable, but ins

Lots of hostility toward Authy on here, I'm shocked. I'm an Authy user and I've always liked the service in that I've barely noticed it existed. Super glad to use 1 app for most services I have 2FA on.

Good idea, you're blowing up so get off this damn forum and go fulfill some orders. The best to you gents/ladies.

It's not about first impressions - it's about people you have a bad feeling about but work with anyway because you assume it's going to be worth it. Don't do that. That's not what you're describing.

I think it needs to keep being synthesized and summarized and codified only because there's always a generation of founders that haven't seen it. I feel the same way you do, but it's a good reminder to read it and it's g

DON'T WORK WITH PEOPLE YOU HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT: I can not stress how dogmatically this should be adhered to enough.

Yes but, in light of that, this would be a simple solution apple could implement overnight if they wanted. I'm sure they won't for political reasons but I hope they think about it.

That list is not accurate for what it's worth - several notable exits missing (justin.tv a huge one). Also bear in mind the data you're missing on that is how fast the "dead" startups died. Startups that died quickly did
