Yes, I do some design work as well and I used to live with a 13" MacBook hooked up to a 24" external monitor and it worked fine for me but wanted to get away from that monitor dependency.


I think this make sense since I can always bootcamp it when I need to do something on the Windows side. And that brings a good point, the reason I don't bootcamp now on my 2008 MacBook Unibody is that it's not that responsive when I tried a while ago. That kind of tells me that the new Air is the best option if I can justify shelling out a few hundred more dollars but I think since I'm developing for iOS as well it might be just worth it.


Had it on my iPhone 4S and the installation was the smoothest so far. Running it on your primary phone could be a bit risky, depends on how you use it. I use Podcasts app a lot and having that completely broken is unacceptable to me. I'm going to revert back to iOS6 for now until Beta 3 or higher comes out. Also, I hate the Home screen and the icons...just so terrible of a job from Ive and his team.


I used to use Evernote to keep track of my ever growing ideas but ultimately found keep a moleskine fits me very well...the feeling of writing it down by myself, a chance to scribble, a chance to sketch etc. made it a better fit for me and I'l sticking to that. I greatly miss the fantastic Evernote search though ;-)

It's a tech blog that was well maintained up until a year back but then I got focused on other projects and didn't get much time and energy to maintain it well.

It has good potential with a decent community vibe (one post itself has got more than 600 comments) if someone can keep it up with some good content. It generates a few thousand dollars a year in ads even though (a lot) more can be done to amp up that revenue in multitudes.

If someone is willing to take on a couple years old site with nice page ranks and keep up with it I'm open to sell it.


I was heavy on CodeIgniter before and ever since I launched another website with Laravel I don't feel like going back to CI. In fact if I get time I wanted to relaunch my other sites with Laravel. If you closely follow the MVC frameworks and the way they are moving forward Laravel sounds like right on the track which CI lags big time. Give it a serious try and you will know. I got completely hooked with its robust Routing system.


Congratulations on the launch...5 months is a long time and as a few said here it's easy to give up during this time.

I would suggest give it a little categories grouping and let people filter things through their preference. A way to filter through the person who quoted this wouldn't hurt too. More power to the people and they feel good.


Hi

I'm not sure if you saw this, but you can search, filter by topics / authors so you don't have to search too much. However presenting that in the main UI is something I hadn't considered.

PrayerTime iPhone app, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prayerti.me/id555243169?ls=1...

The idea is to help Muslims know their obligatory prayer times and also to help them keep track of their prayers. Learned iOS and built it all by myself including the design work.

I launched it for $0.99, made $10 or so and then made it free and since then saw a significant increase in downloads but since it's a free app without any ads it's not making any money right now.

I would love to hear from you on how to possibly monetize this without compromising the good intentions of making this app.


Could you find a way to license your app to certain religious organizations?


Don't know what exactly that means? Do you mean let those orgs buy bulk license and distribute to their groups? Can you please explain a little bit?


I am not experienced with licensing out pieces of software like this, but that is the general idea. Maybe another HNer could shed some light on this topic?


Anyone else have any suggestions? Would appreciate your input.


Going full SSL might be a bit too extreme in most cases; best bet would be secure the ones that matter.


I agree, it's the worst part I hate about HN...especially if you are deep down on page 10+ and it shows this "unknown or expired link". Now even if you startover you have sift through 10 pages to get to where you were. Annoying but as samwillis said it's the nature of arc I guess. I sincerely hope there are some workarounds to this.
