Tried a lot of different approaches, from markdown to notion, to native browser bookmarks. Ended up liking https://anybox.app/ - great cataloging / sorting capabilities and plenty of keyboard control
I don’t have any vested interest in this company - no hidden connection. Just happened to find a nice solution in it.
You Want everpix. They got shutdown but no product is coming close to what they had. Except maybe picturelife but they bloat their app with editing and social features unfortunately.
Interested to hear the Hacker community's take on this.
We've been forecasting this for 2 years and agree with Nate Elliott : "As a result, marketers hoping to interact with consumers online might be better off investing in social features that exist on their own websites, or in smaller, more niche social networks, Mr. Elliott said."
That's why we built Hull in the first place.
Now this subject is this 15min's subject. What does the Hacker community think of this specific idea?
Js gained wide adoption thanks to favorable comparison on specific traits when compared to other languages.
- ubiquity
- lower barrier to entry as far is toolchain setup is concerned. Nothing to install to build a Hello world.
- no weird concepts to grasp at first: many commonalities with other languages, meaning you don't start the learning curve with a big step.
I could go on but the gist is that JS is kind of like the pop music of programming languages: easy to like, with room to grow (as opposed to Justin Bieber or Miles Davis who miss one of these traits.)
To the question of what will be the next "buzz" (Js is a buzz, but those have different timelines and emotional loads than "leave Britney alone") the answer is:
Something even easier to grasp and access with a barrier to entry, smoother learning curve and wider applications.
It might even be an abstraction like those of Brett Victor.
I'd say that's not so much the language but what it allows beginners to achieve that is wave-defining.
Development has become mainstream and JS is the Pop Music of our days.
Apple's idea behind their App Store is that every app is reviewed to make sure it's up to their standards. They also provide a myriad of built-in UI elements and a Human Interface Guide that is supposed to direct developers in the design of their app interfaces.
One could postulate that Apple can fix third party apps by altering the available UI elements and interface guidelines. In fact, this type of alteration was done for iOS7 to guide developers into updating their app aesthetics to match iOS7.
To clarify things, we just posted this on the web site:
We love Apple.
We think this is the best way to point out what's not up to their standards so they can fix it.
It's all about intellectual honesty, not trolling.
I've only been running iOS since it GM'ed ( which wasn't too long ago) but havn't seen some of the stuff shown there. iMessages certainly do that on my 4S. The notification badge on the Applications icon is always on top. I run into the battery low notification every day and it hasn't yet disagreed between values shown at the status versus the 20% and 10% thresholds you get these alerts from.
The battery notification looks identical to that in iOS6, and probably has the same behaviour.
If you run your phone with the display off, say from 21% battery down to 11%, then it will cross the 20% reporting threshold. The next time that you unlock the phone and activate the display, you will get the notification.
It's not inconsistent; nor is it just being "optimistic" -- it may be poorly worded, but it consistently displays that same message every time you unlock the phone after the battery drains to 20%.
If the person who took that screenshot had waited another ten minutes, then the battery would probably have reached 10%, and the 10% notification would have been shown instead.
