Probably scrapes the google devices page, checks for "sold out" message existence and renders response accordingly.

What exactly are you showing us? You complained Facebook wasted your time. I complain your blog post wasted my time!

Really nice idea. I never used V1 but looking at the screenshot I think the darker colours are nicer. If it's not too much trouble maybe you can add a Dark/Light Theme option, like arstechnica.com for example.

Great job nonethless :)

If a project is having a difficult time specifying requirements BDD can help to derive better scope. I have quite a lot of experience of BDD in small and large companies. And have found that it does help where stakeholder's are pretty vague about what they want, BDD can help them think about the User Stories in more detail. Which ultimately helps to deliver the right product. You can also do the automated testing part too so you have automated acceptance tests which become regression tests after the feature has been released. However, I also found that it's difficult to get all the people onboard with it as it takes more time.

TLDR; Good if you have problems defining requirements, difficult if you have uncommitted stakeholders.

Names are hard! In Britain "tout" means something, slightly negative; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tout

Well, it's certainly simple that's for sure!

I didn't like that I couldn't order my tasks, I think even a "simple" to-do list should be able to do that.

I honestly can't imagine any one paying $14.99 for this either. Why would I use this instead, for example, Evernote?

Looks like a good start buddy. Looks like this life game I shamefully only made use of for a few days; http://www.rexbox.co.uk/epicwin/

How are you going to stop people from just deleting tasks they couldn't do?

Keep it up!

How do payments work?

I just noticed the search syntax link, these are better searches:

Ask HN: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=tit...

Show HN: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=tit...

Well to write the automatic bit you'll have to manually figure out the rules :)

But yeah, something like that would be a good start. I don't know anything about this domain so I'm of limited help here. It might be too hard to categorize based solely on words if they're not distinct enough.

Could you possibly automate the items that do have enough information and collect the ones which don't for later manual review?

I don't understand the order either.

I've resigned myself to using the search for posts with "Ask HN:" ordered by date, not 100% I know but better than the alternative.

Clicky: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=Ask...

And a Clicky for "Show HN" http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=Sho...

Magic Trackpad because of all the gestures. Selecting text is a pain but if you've learnt the keyboard shortcuts for the IDE/TextEditor it's not an issue.

I think this is what Pinterest's goal is, or at least one of them. To help you organize; try http://www.pinterest.com

One of my old companies also did this. It worked ok most of the time but you just need to be that little bit more careful that your changes don't affect other's since it's a shared database.

There's a new book by Pragmatic (I personally like many of their books), it might be helpful.

Congratulations on releasing your first app.

To get the word out; posting here is a good start. Post on Reddit too. Also, you could try sending a Press Release type email to relevant blogs - they might blog about your app.

Think about SEO and how your site ranks in a Google Search for instance.

+1

I've had a few ideas, only seen one through to release and it was successful. It's made me believe I can do it, so it's just waiting for that next idea...

Some feedback;

I cannot find the hardware spec's of the server on your site. If I was to consider buying a server from anyone I would absolutely need to know the specs.

An idea;

Build the OS to sell independently of the hardware.

Lots of interesting reading on this site

First time programming ever? How did you find the learning curve?

Anyway, congrats, looks really good. Good luck.

I watched that on BBC4 last night. Quite interesting. Best nuggest of information for me was that "Tetris" is Greek for "fall", cool!

I don't understand the easter egg?

I personally would probably not use it, I never visit r/fitness for example. But if you need a nerd to help build it I might be able to help with that.

If the company isn't complying with Data Protection laws and sensible security measures with access then I would feel it was my duty as a professional to contest their decisions. I wouldn't become a whistleblower but I would escalate the problem until some one listened. Security breaches hurt the reputation of a business. There will always be some one who will care about this. Maybe not always in the tech teams but at least in one of the business function teams.

You actually need some one to convince you to pay what you owe? Terrible. I wouldn't want to employ some one like you.

You should pay Indiana University East
