Not too hard. As giancarlostoro said, I simply skim in the mornings - open my favorite sites, find posts I think are worth reading and middle click a lot. Go through the resulting new tabs and bookmark what seems interesting for later. The

On the problem of wasting time browsing - I stick to a rough Pomodoro style principle. Coffee in the morning while I spend 20 minutes gorging on the sweet sweet stream of fresh info from HN/Reddit/Feedly/Twitter that surfaced

I'd add, for those that have to depend on alarm clocks, please sleep earlier or figure out your circadian rhythm ('biological clock') so you don't get jolted out of deep sleep by a horrible loud noise each day. I'm

Thanks for the link. The protestations are a little silly from what I gather. So this is the crux of it: Genius allows people to comment on stuff that people write - like an improved comment section. Occasionally these comments suck and are

So damn insightful, this comment. Travelling through Osaka last Autumn and we stumble upon a small underground Reggae bar. We're sharing tales, having fun with the dudes that ran it, and I get conversing with the owner over the last ci

Breivik's motivation were not sourced from Christian literature, whereas suicide bomber's are (from Koran and Hadith). Young Christians are not leaving home to join the Christian State of Iraq and Syria. You can see the distinctio

Looks good, will make the menu more distinguishable in the next release. Monetizing: focus is on creating a great user experience now. Once that's achieved and the app adds value there’s a few ideas

Not harsh at all. Each clicked link should result in a gif showing the feature in action. If that's not showing at all then looks like I've a browser incompatibility to fix.

Yes it needs work. Solid feedback, will yoink some ideas from your comment (if you don't mind).

Hey HN. This is the latest version of a task management app I've been building since mid-last year. Since then I've turned about 100 pieces of feedback* into incremental improvements/changes. Still much to do so before I dig

All solid points. The 'what is Lanes' tutorial is being improved right now, as a little too sparse on the detail. Thanks for the comment.
