espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
I understand your point. I didn't mean to do it like this, I was trying to get validation (with $1) from actual customers, not the HN community.

A few questions:

- What do you mean by history? What would you like to see when a Habit is selected?

- Thanks for pointing that out. I figured not all habits require a note.

- i will look in to those two bugs.

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Yup most of the initial learning was done through Treehouse. So much so that I did not know what language was to be used to build ios. They took me from beggining to complete projects. Then when building my own app, it was a lot of Google/Stackoverflow/trial and error.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
Wow, great idea. Thank you.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
I appreciate the comments!
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
Yes I have actually. The whole idea from the beginning was to build an app my 'mastermind' group and I could use to keep each other on check on making our dreams reality. That feature is definitely in the works. I just needed to release this to get validation and some initial traction.

Please post your web app when released, I'd love to give feedback and share ideas.

Cheers

Thank you for that. About the pixelated icons: I did not know how to do icons for retina until yesterday, I fixed them and submitted an update last night to fix that and a bug I found :)
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
Agreed 100%. To me just selling 10 units was amazing, considering I did not know what Obj-C was a few months ago.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
I will be looking into that, have to find the right balance between basic and premium. Thanks for the advice.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
You're completely right. I made 99 cents though to validate first if people would actually buy based on icon/keywords/screenshots. I submitted an update yesterday to make it free though, seeing how little reviews I am getting.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
Glad you found it. As of now, I'm just trying to perfect it on the iPhone. No plans on iPad sorry.
espitia··on 2 months ago I had never touched code. This is my first app.
Teamtreehouse.com is where I learned, and communities from around the internet helped me alot. Specially stackoverflow.
espitia··on My first app: Habit Streaks
2 months ago I had only some basic HTML/CSS experience and was tired of only dreaming of shipping some product. I put myself through many long hours of courses with Treehouse and a lot of help from the community over at Stackoverflow and released my first app. I'm very proud of just that, shipping something.

Any feedback would be very appreciated!

espitia··on Apple Confirms Its $3 Billion Deal for Beats Electronics

espitia··on The New Deal
Wow, thank you so much. You made it really easy to understand.
espitia··on The New Deal
It would be great to see this annotated on RapGenius in order to learn all the terminology and how investment like these work.
espitia··on Advertise on CNN and get one conversion for over $2,000 in ad spend
It may be the wrong image to advertise their ad product but I can imagine $2000 ad spend for a $8,000 LTV being pretty good :) (1k/mo at 8 months)

Thank you!
espitia··on Facebook acquires Oculus VR
I think what most of us wanted is to see Oculus become something like FB, Google, Twitter, etc. The team was backed by early adopters that put their own money on this vision.

Although the "more resources" statement is true, the vision, the underdog, no longer is. They will always be under FB, not the visionary entrepreneurs and team that made Oculus possible.

"losing $107 million on only $6 million in revenues"

Is this what the 2000 bubble was?

espitia··on AP: Man Denies He Is Bitcoin Founder
Tech news is incredible. The real founder comments he is not Dorian, Dorian denies he is the real founder, major publisher Newsweek caught in the middle.. seems as is if it were straight out of a script!
espitia··on Facebook Buying WhatsApp for $16B in Cash and Stock Plus $3B in RSUs
In my case, for example, most of my friends are not born americans but rather people that lived in south america that moved to the US or still live in south america. In Colombia/Vzla EVERYONE uses whatsapp. At first it was because SMS has charges per text sent so a free, better way to communicate (whatsapp) quickly became the norm. Network effects pushed through boundaries and now I use it more than anything else to communicate with friends and family. I have groups with my immediate family and with friends across borders. Mind you, I've lived in the US most of my life so I use iMessage with all americans and whatsapp with the rest.

I think it comes as a surprise to most people in the USA because here we never had to deal with SMS charges (plans were for the most part unlimited). In other parts of the world, the opposite is true, which is where whatsapp gained it foundation. Add to that cross platform, free, awesome ux, network effects and the fact that IT WORKS PERFECTLY and boom, 19B. Cheers.

the days when the comments added value to the topic are long gone...
