Great idea, and making this available in Kindle would be awesome!

Any relation to https://www.rooms.me/ or are you just lifting their design without credit?

You forget to take out links to their site. (bottom right)

Pretty dumb move, considering rooms.me is by FB, and there's bound to a be FB people looking on HN.

They still didn't take them out. The links are just commented out in the code now.

This looks completely lifted. http://imgur.com/a/Jqmrq

In fairness, "nobody gives a shit how the sausage is made."

If this product adds value to people's lives, why does it matter if they lifted the website design?

Intellectual property...? Also this is generally the kind of community that cares.

linksbro3• 11 years ago

Because it's illegal.

Copying licensed code, like this: (left rooms.me, right nuggetsapp) https://www.diffchecker.com/gmudwop7

is I L L E G A L, and I M M O R A L. Letting it slide is not okay!

If it adds value to people's lives, that probably makes violations of copyright that make it more likely to be sued out of existence matter more, rather than less, than if it did not.

From the source:

      <ul id="links">
        <li class="link"><a href="http://blog.rooms.me/">Blog</a></li>
        <li class="link"><a href="http://www.rooms.me/download">Download</a></li>
        <li class="link"><a href="http://www.rooms.me/privacy">Privacy</a></li>
        <li class="link"><a href="http://www.rooms.me/help">Help</a></li>
      </ul>

You forgot to remove code from the app you copied this from.

Seriously?

The logo looks kinda like a hairy butt.

Balls, which is what Facebook will have him by for ripping off Rooms.

greenpizza13• 11 years ago

Wow. Bald face stealing of rooms.me.

zaphar• 11 years ago

I've wanted an app like this for a long time. But the wholesale literal copy-pasting of the design just sucks and makes me sad.

ArekDymalski• 11 years ago

Setting aside this embarrassing directly-copied-layout issue, I have to say the concept itself is very nice. Is it original idea or is it also cloned from other app?

If former is true, that's a pity the author shoot himself in the knee. If the latter is true, could you point me to other, original app(s)?

Hmmm, I saw your pitch to YC fellowship through topcharts yesterday and now you've made a Show HN with a lifted design of rooms.me? pretty bad move IMO.

The fact it's lifted really clouds anyone to look at the idea or the concept and provide feedback here, change it for the better.

peeyek• 11 years ago

I like the idea. but, it turns out that the author is kind of "epic fail" because he exactly copying the landing page of rooms like other HNers described in the comment.

I don't know the landing page of rooms.me before. after reading the comments on this thread, i feel disappointed to the author of this app.

miket78• 11 years ago

I don't understand the fuss and hate. It seems like a great idea and I downloaded the app. Sure, the landing page is copied. Sure, it is probably immoral. But it's just a landing page not the product. There are only so many kinds of landing pages and people copy them all the time.

Great app! Just what I needed! Would be nice to have an option to edit my nuggets and save to Evernote.
