We’ve been developing this product for quite some time, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year. We’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it.

Firebase has always focused on empowering you all to build extraordinary experiences for your users, without needing to worry about building common infrastructure. While we’ve made big strides towards this vision in the past, we always had one big hole: trusted code execution. Today, we’re completing the story with Cloud Functions for Firebase so that you can easily run server-side code in response to events from your Firebase app.

We think you’re going to love it, and we can’t wait to see what you build with it!

Lyft for iOS is probably one of the largest Swift apps http://m.fastcompany.com/3050266/tech-forecast/lyft-goes-swi...

The world needs more people like Garry Tan. He's one of the kindest, humble, and most genuine people you'll ever meet. Garry helped us tremendously during and after YC.

Can't wait to hear to see what you end up doing next! Thank you, Garry!

This is excellent. I'll be sure to include a link to this when people ask for advice.

Congrats Garry!

Nice job creating your own implementation of UITableView. Although, if you find delegates and datasources unusual then its best for you to spend more time getting familiar with them rather than trying to work around them.

That is definitely not our intention. We added the automatic screenshot uploading because we thought it'd be useful for us. It's something we use everyday and we thought others would like it as well. We will be releasing a new build today that turns this off by default.

That's why we built http://kicksend.com

Please shoot an e-mail to brendan[at]kicksend[dot]com and I'll take a look at the issue.

I worked remotely for close to four years. I started realizing that there was little separation between work-life and personal-life. I was at my "office" all of the time and my employers knew this. I started working more during off-hours because that's what I was used to doing at home. Also, communication through IM, Campfire, etc. got pretty tiring and my face-to-face social skills ended up deteriorating after a while.

Just my personal experience.

We do, actually - it should be forwarding now.

Thanks!

You can actually get a shareable URL for each item you share. Just right click on a file and select Copy Public Link.

Enter in email+hn@domain.com and we'll give you access right away.

Haha! I actually did notice it on Flickr first as well. If we could afford the received.com domain we would have gotten it :)

We didn't end up writing the Mac client in MacRuby. We considered it, but to be on the safe side we decided to just go plain Objective-C.

If you guys sign up with +hn within your email, we'll make sure to give you access right away.
