I didn't like this either, seems kind of slimy.

octavian, interested in programming, technology, and start ups.
Was a neat little feature, too bad the share functionality didn't actually work.
nothing to contribute on my own, but this may interest you: https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses - probably something worth reading as it goes in to ideas and their implementation. interesting to note that there is a weather app chrome extension there that seems to make 2.5k per month.
how do support yourself? money from previous job or do you have some passive income?
why not both
what isn't mentioned is the speed at which the editor reads out code. i remember reading a similar story where the blind programmer recorded some code being read out, and it was extremely impressive to say the least. i could not understand a single word. i thought the recording was broken.
I spent a lot of time on your site & the medium article trying to understand what it does. I wouldn't have done this if I didn't read your HN post, so I really did try and understand it. Right now it seems like this would create more work for me than reduce it. Just my thoughts. Good luck though!
where does one obtain a genome study for themselves?
that's great, thanks i'll check it out. i don't suppose you know of a similar option for roku?
this is really great, worked better than i anticipated. maybe a xbmc addon in the future!
yeah, noticed that scrolling down was very sluggish.
neat idea. i'm going to chicago in a few weeks and took the recommendation from your app.
the interface is clean and easy to use, the idea itself i also quite clever, however, i don't know if it will be survive/used on its own. it seems as if it's an accessory service, something that compliments a primary service. maybe if i book a trip to visit a city, using another service, say a travel service, this would automatically serve me your app's recommendation.
either way, good luck, seems like a cool idea.
i'm not too sure what service it's suppose to provide.
interesting, thanks for the info. i just finished up a similar project and had tough time with jspdf, ended up using http://pdfmake.org/#/.
how are you generating the pdf? client side as well?
i've been trying to fit this into my schedule as much as possible as well (much like the rest of us).
what really set me off into making it a daily habit was the following washington post article.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43006-2005Jan...
""What we found is that the longtime practitioners showed brain activation on a scale we have never seen before," said Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the university's new $10 million W.M. Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging and Behavior. "Their mental practice is having an effect on the brain in the same way golf or tennis practice will enhance performance." It demonstrates, he said, that the brain is capable of being trained and physically modified in ways few people can imagine."
balance.
Same here- I used the Page Monitor chrome add on, worked really well, ended up picking up a 8GB while the site was being hammered yesterday.
what are some comparative products, and how does userfox set itself apart?
Make sure you've created a page to drag the components on to. That was the problem I was running into anyway.
I guess he read the reddit post 2 days ago.
thinkpad's work well.
they are both right. i've been using myfitnesspal for quite some time now, and remember reading that it was indeed a very small team (of just 2). now time has passed and they have obviously expanded. but they were extremely successful even at the beginning. i can't find the link right now but i'm certain that if you check out their blog, near the beginning, you will find something that resembles the 2man team story.
the irony.
I just wanted to know how it works. I don't think I have the courage to meet completely random people though.
Oh, and there's a whole bunch of periods missing (sorry).
hey. good job. i can definitely see myself using this. i'm having a bit of trouble reading some of the content though (using ubuntu/chrome) font/font-size/colorschemes can be better. maybe refine the interface a bit, but good start!
i'm sure a lot of people here can do a better job designing it. but is that really the point?
the good old days.
I still don't understand why people recommended them in the first place.
Wonderful little app. I would actually spend some time going through it if I wasn't at work. Speaking of which, is there any process put in place to filter the sites people input?
