I look forward to food, but not paying $8 a day to eat lunch from one of two crappy places I can easily get to from work. Nor the weight gain that comes from them. Obviously I could pack a lunch, but I hate that shit. If this could actually

Eh, I'm leading a project and the owner (non-technical) forced me to have people sign NDA's before I discussed it with them. I personally wouldn't have done it until I gave them actual access to the code. Keep in mind that it could be a com

Solved by uploading to an imgur-like service and producing a link that can be emailed/texted? Or something fancier?

Thanks, I think it's a great project with quite a bit of potential. You can see the progress at www.mykinapp.com if you're curious. It's in kind of rough shape at the moment, but coming along...

Oh, that blows. I guess I assumed it somehow knew I was in the US but would ask/figure out if you were elsewhere. You should probably throw them a message. I know someone who works there WAS creeping on this thread.

With a Show HN title and some openness to feedback+questions you should be fine. I think as long as you don't treat it as free advertising no one will complain.

iPhone 4s. iPhone 5 wasn't a big enough reason to upgrade, which would be the first time in a while I didn't upgrade yearly.

It's plain and simple. My first instinct was "ugh, really?" because I don't like the design of the site to begin with. But then I realized... no one would ever ask me a question about the t-shirt, which is a big plus. Only people who freque

To the right it shows shipping cost, with a question mark next to it that explains the fee. <not affiliated, just on that page right now>

I often face those issues as well. Especially when you're part of communities that worship people that get a seemingly unrealistic amount of stuff done, or are unusually successful. My first bit of advice is to take a break. Forget start up

Really? I've not had any issues with the autocorrect. I agree that dismissing the auto correct can be annoying sometimes. I intend to hit the X and instead hit the word, so it corrects to that. However, I can type complete nonsense, a row o

Not really. Parts are cheap and most are bolt on. It's just a matter of preference, which is why all of these droid vs apple discussions are circle jerks.

Absolutely. I need my phone to work, be simple and reliable, not require much/any maintenance. Similarly, I prefer a nice car with a warranty that I don't have to worry about or have any hassle with. A jeep might be cheaper, and when it run

Yes, but that they needed to was my comment. Personally, even as a mobile developer, customizing my phone is not my hobby. I'd prefer a new foreign car that has certain limitations to a used Jeep that I can extend in any way I want.

"Meh." <- This article and all of the comments in this thread. The Apple vs Android thing is pretty played out.

> "their auto-correct is garbage" The last three people who switched from iPhone to Android asked me what was wrong with Androids auto-correct and why it didn't "work". They ended up having to install a third party keyboard to get anyth

No problem. My big problem with the tiered implementation is that it only really works until like 4 tiers deep. After that you have a long column of text. I haven't really found a solution for that except a "View replies" that pushes anothe

Your landing page needs screen shots or at least some information on how you're approaching the problem. As you already know, to-do apps aren't exciting enough for me to go "YEAH! Sign me up to hear all about it!" without some incentive (th

Thank you for your reply! I saw that you sent an email out last night, which is great. I was thinking the same thing. "I added my site and it says everything is OK on the dashboard... but no tests have been run." Anyhow, thank you for takin

Registering now, will check back with my input. Edit 1* I'm unsure of what a selenium test is (clearly an issue of my ignorance). Do you have to have those to check the health of your web app? Edit 2* Do I have to wait an hour before the f

To get to OUR OWN WEBSITE, my manager goes to his yahoo toolbar and types "google", find google on the search results, then types in the google search bar "companyname.com", then finds us in the results list and clicks it. yeesh.

My boss had issues with his account not letting him log in. A password reset seems to have triggered something that's letting him access his account now.

Developing can be really hard. Depending on your product there are probably a lot of people who have been developing for years who couldn't feel comfortable saying they'll be able to build your product. Just keep pushing on. Worst case scen

Glad to see you're using Pocket. I'm working on an awesome HN app that has Pocket functionality built in.

I just use google chromes built in bookmarking. I'm logged in on my work and home computer, my iPhone and my iPad so I can always find that link. It comes down to finding proper folders for everything.

As someone who calls himself a "generalist" and claims it's the best thing in the world; you're probably on the right track here. I'm good at a wide variety of things, but I don't typically delve to deep into things. What does that mean? I'
