We are a DApp team in China, and it took us about 3 months to build KeyMesh, an Ethereum address book with private chat. We are super excited to share it with the Ethereum community!

KeyMesh is a decentralized address book for Ethereum accounts. You can use it to prove on Twitter that you own an account, and search for other accounts using Twitter names.

Using KeyMesh you can send money and messages to verified Twitter names, instead of long addresses.

And we did it without funding or ICO

------------------------------------------

You'll need desktop Chrome & MetaMask. Mobile is not yet supported, sorry.

The BETA runs on the Rinkeby network, and you can get free test ether from the faucet.

Thank you for the encouragement : )

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into problems with the content.

The first lesson is here http://fork2.com/ios/fortuna/

I can't take a newsflash seriously if they don't even link to the original study.

Are the socioeconomic levels of these higher IQ individuals controlled? How exactly did they select their sample for the study? And they mentioned marijuana, cocaine, heroine in one breath, as though those are the same drug. Surely different population groups use those drugs to different extents.

off topic. I am the author. I am wondering if this submission had been flagged. Fogscreek's post about Trello http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3001173 has 7 votes, but it's on the front page ranked 19.

This was submitted at roughly the same time, and has 13 votes. But it's ranked ~50 on the second page.

I just want to know if I unknowingly violated some rules. I'd want to avoid that next time.

Anybody knows?

it also happened to my previous submission for getfaceoff.com.

Right now everything loading from the facebook domains (facebook.com, facebook.net, fbcdn, connect.facebook.com) are blocked. Then the extension allows the like button to work when a user explicitly requests for it.

You are right that only the like button among the Facebook widgets is implemented. This is just a very start, we can progressively add more features.

Not only is it proven, it is also tested.

I am not a genius like Knuth, who only needs to prove things.

Maybe I misused the term minimum "viable" product. But isn't it a standard practice for lean startups to run something like a potemkin village to test if there's interest?

I don't see why I shouldn't do the same with an open source project.

MVP. Sorry to disappoint :p

ah. I stand corrected.

You would violate terms of agreement. But if it's a Chrome extension, what can they do?

I think the 2-clicks "like" button is super smart. I am going to implement it as a Chrome extension, what do you guys think? I've created a repo on github:

it would be cool if you do ngram analysis that generates code based on keystrokes

wow, he exactly duplicated my sentient EMACS setup! My job is jeopardize.

Glad you like it. Another weird thing I do is that "g" is not just an alias, it's a function in my ~/.bashrc

So "g" (without any argument) is "g status", with arguments, g is effectively an alias for git. A micro-optimization, true.

Another git feature I use quite a bit is the history rewrite. "git fuss 5" allows me to fiddle with the last 5 commits. I should write another article to explain git fuss. History rewrite sounds like a dirty thing. But my git workflow involves doing a whole bunch of temporary commits, so I can track small incremental steps with git. History rewrite is pretty legit for this usage pattern.

  g() {
      if [[ $# == '0' ]]; then
          git status
      else
          case $1 in
              fuss)
                  shift
                  git rebase -i HEAD~"$1";;
              *)
                  git "$@";;
          esac
      fi
  }

I would second this.

In my mind, however, what would be more useful for us budding founders is a place where we can share our ideas and projects in their early embarrassing states. It would be nice the be able to get feedback right at the beginning when I have only the the vaguest idea, and then to be guided by feedback as the project develops and matures. I would not be comfortable to share my pre-pre alpha project on reddit. And people would not be interested.

I believe that the search-space is too great that we should ever worry about other people stealing our precious idea. Starting from one point, different people would diverge and develop in different ways.

I don't know. But I would really welcome more openness. I think when an idea is interesting, and new, people would rather cooperate, and help along. Competition only happens (I hope) when people are chasing after the roughly same fad.
