RobMcCullough··on Show HN: Tap2Tab - Instantly Sends A Webpage From Computer to iPhone/Tablet
I didn't find your comment rude at all. I appreciate the feedback, and I am really excited some folks signed up and seem to like the tool. Stay tuned for the chrome extension - I like that idea a lot.

I hadn't seen Chrome2Phone, the choice is yours xD -- I guess I'll focus my efforts on iOS.

Thanks a ton for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

It doesn't support more than one page. If you pull something up on the computer and decide you want to go outside and read/watch it on the iPad, you Tap2Tab it.

The difference between Tap2Tab & Instapaper is that it works for YouTube, Netflix, PDF documents, ect. There is no reformatting of content, it redirects you to the page just like a URL shortener.

Hmm, the Google tool sounds familiar now that you mention it. Do let me know how Tap2Tab works for you.

Hi HN! I just threw this together in the last few days -- inspired by the TC Disrupt Hackathon.

I just got myself an iPad recently, and I really wanted to be able to send the page I was reading on my computer to the iPad. I didn't find anything that was easy and quick so I made it myself.

This is a "rough draft" of a web app. There are a few rough edges and browser quirks. I wanted to see if anyone else would use it. If so, I will put some more work in to cleaning it all up! Let me know what you think.

RobMcCullough··on BetterYoo - Recurring Text Message Reminders
Hi HN, I would love your feedback on my latest web project. It is a recurring text message reminder service. Frankly, I am wondering if anyone has some insight on whether it is a viable tool. Also, how/who would be a good demographic to target marketing efforts on. Thanks for the help!

How did you find that? I found the original article in Google but there was no link to a cached version.

There is no such thing as bad publicity! Kudo's for turning lemons into a viral blog post! Although, if I understand correctly, you were reusing passwords and storing them in plain text! This is an ABC123 computer security nono. Thank goodness it was just some young script kiddies and not someone with malicious intent!

RobMcCullough··on Your website is not a project ... and your project is not a startup
My latest project, is building multiple websites, to test product ideas, that I would someday like to start up into a business. Due to the fact that I left my day job, this is proper usage of the terms...I think =)

In response to this, and a few similar comments I intend to add a privacy policy that explains, in detail, the level of protection we offer. I imagined this site as more of a fun communication tool that a resource for whistle-blowers. I definitely do not want to put anyone in danger. I appreciate the input.

Thanks a ton for the feedback. I am paying close attention to what is being said. The more feedback I get, the more I can adapt to what people really desire from a service like Lettur.

Also, @tansey you're right. It does look like we have the same idea going. I can honestly say I haven't seen thrsti before. I am sure we will find our separate paths, and I welcome the friendly competition =)

Well, I called it a weekend project until I got to debugging. Just kidding, I am pushing the anonymous part as it is a bit of a buzz word these days. I am in the process of reworking the UI, and may re-brand as more of a simple web publishing solution.

I think there is a ton of potential use cases. Eventually I want to give the users full control over the page style, or possible offer different page templates. This will allow anyone to publish a totally customizable webpage in minutes.

While there are no ads now, monetization will come from advertising in the future. Or, possibly a small charge per page to have advertisement removed. This could be purchasable by either the author, or a reader.

We'll see where it goes.
