Here is one interesting App helpful for relaxation but in a different way.

I notice some improvements since one month using it. - better sleeping - more focus - positive thinking

(Unfortunately the app is just for iOS at the moment) https://appsto.re/de/8PGcfb.i


Forgive me for speculating, but given your username (diegoloop) and the name of the developer of that app (Diego Lopez), it kinda feels like you're promoting your own app.

If that's the case, you should definitely disclose that rather than pretending to be just a user of the app.


I built an App with similar sound effects for iOS which help me to get relaxed and think in different solutions

Android Security:

What happened to Google? I remember back in the days when Apple said that they will reviewed all the apps before they appear on the App Stores. Now it looks reviewing apps before release is not cool anymore.


I don't think Google ever manually reviewed, they've been adding more automated checks for a while though. And I think Apple still manually review.



It totally failed to keep crap out of the store. The population of apps still fell to Sturgeon's Law. There was more opportunity for reviewers to do arbitrary crap to look like they were doing a job. Perhaps they did keep some of the more obvious violations out.


Once I decided to turn around on my bed by sleeping by putting my head where I usually put my feet... That was one of the most awkward weake up and dreaming experience I've ever had


The problem is that the product is not already launched. So there are no customers


That's a much bigger hurdle than competition.


Thanks for your words Philiphodgen! It really helped me a lot! I guess you are right, most of the biggest products we have, they existed some how already before


I'm missing a good reason to drop safari and start using Firefox.

- private browsing - tabs management - search suggestions

Apparently all what this version can offers is already available in Safari.

I wish they could sell me Firefox better


I use Safari on iPad, but on iPhone it is unusable for many websites, since it doesn't support text reflow (my opinion). So on iPhone I use Mercury, but sometimes it is a bit slow. So on iPhone there is still a room for a better browser, imho.


Agree, a better iOS browser is indeed needed. I tried Mercury, which does what I want (esp. ad blocking), but does it too slowly.

After 2+ years, I'm still using Atomic Browser on iPhone + iPad, even though it hasn't been updated in years and now triggers some websites' warning, "You appear to be using an old unsupported version of Firefox".


You should absolutely try iCab Mobile. See my post here¹.

iCab has been around for a really long time on desktops. Seriously, it existed before even Mac OS X², so it’s no surprise that the dev would carry all that experience over to the iOS version.

The only reason is sync. If you use Firefox on your desktop, this app gives you all your bookmarks and passwords and such on your phone.

If you don't use Firefox on your desktop, it's just a new skin for Safari.


I have been testing Firefox for iOS for a couple weeks. I prefer Firefox's tab management over Safari's: a simple 2D view that shows more tabs (instead of a fancy 3D stack) and easy swipe to close tabs (instead of tapping—and often missing—a tiny X button in the corner of the tab).


Release early, release often.


Apple forbids them from supporting anything that Safari can’t do either by forcing them to just use a reskinned Safari.


It would be great if there is a some kind of tool with predefined objects like the square, table, start and so on. So you can easily added to your text


I'm gonna look into that! Thanks a lot!


I'm not used to having ads, thats the problem. But let's see how it will work
