dotnetkow··on Show HN: Using my technical skills to explain tech terms to sellers/marketers
Author here - explaining how technology works to the average person can be very difficult. Through lots of practice we can get better at it, but it's always an ongoing challenge as technology evolves. I think my series of posts is worth sharing since most of the folks here on HN have a business background and interact with sellers/marketers etc. Enjoy - I'd love to hear feedback!
dotnetkow··on Show HN: Fitwatchr - mobile Fitbit calorie and activity tracker
Hi all - creator here. Fitwatchr was built using PhoneGap Build and Kendo UI Mobile. Happy to answer questions about how it works or using PhoneGap to write apps. Thanks.
dotnetkow··on An HTML5 app turned native in 10 minutes with PhoneGap Build?
Nice, congrats! I used Kendo UI for my app as well - it's incredible, such a time saver.

I built Fitwatchr for Fitbit (http://www.fitwatchr.com/apps.html) using PhoneGap Build and absolutely love it. I can develop locally in Chrome, switch between Android/iOS using the DevTools, then deploy using Build. Coupled with Kendo UI Mobile, which auto translates the UI of your app to fit the platform, it took days to get a basic prototype running instead of weeks. Highly recommended!
dotnetkow··on Show HN: Control iTunes (next/prev song) with your webcam, open sourcing soon
Nice work! In a similar fashion I created KinecTunes (control iTunes using your voice via the Microsoft Kinect - http://kinectunes.codeplex.com/) because of the same reason. Innovative use of the webcam!
