I was surprised they weren't using Kiln [https://www.fogcreek.com/kiln/], a Fog Creek product. I know SO is independent from Fog Creek now, but still a bit surprised at it. I wonder if there was a migration off at some point.

I can whole-heartedly recommend the entire team at Watsi. Not only are they awesome to be around, but they are extremely competent. No one I know is better prepared to address healthcare than they are. The trips to visit their patients and providers are just icing on the cake.

I'd really like to see a way to integrate the history for services like Facebook Chat and Google Hangouts when not using the app. With Google Chat, the app could use IMAP to get the chat history for non-Flamingo chats, but with the switch to Hangouts, that method is no longer possible. It seems Takeout is the only way to get the Hangout message history (https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail...).
IMO, the lack of true global history is the biggest limitation of a native app for using many IM services.
He said he used the Notes app built into his iPhone.
I recently built my own desk too. I live in an old victorian with a curved window. The only way to fit a desk there was to create my own.
I went with a walnut top, and then got some legs from Ikea so I could adjust the height to where I'd like. I think next time, I'd make my own legs for even great stability.
Besides doing the finish, the process is super easy. Just lots of sanding. I posted some photos to Instagram, which then synced to Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisstreeter/sets/721576366662... One note is that these photos are pre-27" monitor, so the desk looks a bit more complete now.

I'm looking forward to the swappable User model feature. Has anyone seen or heard of a site that has looked at migrating from a profile approach to a full in swapped User model? What does that migration look like and how painful was it?
