face7hill··on Show HN: MusicMap, a way to selectively proccess your music
Do you have a link to the app?
face7hill··on Show HN: Lines, the free London Underground app
Clean looking app. Nice work!
face7hill··on Show HN: Seemore.js, my first (fully functional) jQuery plugin
Great timing, I can use this on one of my projects. Nice work.
face7hill··on Show HN: Number Canvas - A modern calculator
This is very cool. I love the simplicity of this. Reminds of Soulver (which I love). Nice work.
face7hill··on Show HN: Codex - a Notebook app for iPad
This looks pretty cool. I really like the idea of having different graph papers, esp. the isometric ones. I've tried several iPad notebook apps. They all seem ok. I think it's just me but I have difficulty writing clearly on an iPad even with a stylus (my handwriting is crap). Nice work on this.
face7hill··on Show HN: Increase your productivity with ambient noise
I'll echo this sentiment. Been listening to a lot of music from Mali and being really productive with it on. Highly recommend Khaira Arby, Ali Farka Touré and Amadou & Mariam.
face7hill··on Show HN: Whatismyzip.com – Built in a few hours on a train while commuting
This is awesome. Nice work!
face7hill··on Show HN: Simple tool to manage time on projects for developers and freelancers
Right on. Thanks Paul. Are you guys planning to open up an API?
face7hill··on Show HN: Simple tool to manage time on projects for developers and freelancers
This looks like a pretty cool project. I would love to try it out once your servers cool down, particularly your API. I'm playing around with APIs for Harvest and Freshbooks now. Full disclosure: I created a minimalist time tracking tool for freelancers/agency folks that lowers the barrier to logging your work:

It's not for everyone, but it resonates with some folks (the minimalist UI + keyboard driven nature and available CLI).

face7hill··on Show HN: Make a Pros vs. Cons list (weekend project)
This is super. Nice work.
face7hill··on Show HN: IMDb quicklist
Super useful. Thanks for putting this together. I'm always trying to figure out which movies to watch and this would help!
face7hill··on Show HN: I made the most simple password generator I could think of
Very cool. Good stuff. Bookmarked as well.
face7hill··on Show HN: Facebook Legacy
This is a pretty compelling idea. I hope you implement it.
face7hill··on Show HN: AlbumColors.js - iTunes 11 Style Background and Text Color Generator
Very cool. Nice work.
face7hill··on Show HN: I made a song for your landing page video
Awesome, I always wondered where I could find nice soundtracks like this for demos. Good stuff.
face7hill··on Show HN: a simple, instant online music player - puur
I love the simplicity of this. Very nice.
face7hill··on Show HN: Cloudsnap, an integration platform for developers
Cool landing page. I really like the little interactive shell you have there as well. I watched your video but it seems kind of long at eight minutes. I know you have a lot to talk about and demo so it's not easy. Good stuff though.
face7hill··on Show HN: Building a Static Website Generator in Ruby
This is pretty cool. Any thoughts on packaging this and putting it up on Github for others to play with?
face7hill··on Show HN: Language-agnostic project template CLI for OSX
This is pretty awesome. I've wanted something like this for a while but was too lazy to create it myself. Thanks for doing this.
face7hill··on Show HN: Hotel Ninjas. Cloud-based Hotel Management
Any plans for an API or front-end widget to embed on hotels' websites?
face7hill··on Show HN: Illustrator starts coding; my retina-ready scrolling storybook, Peaches
Very cool, bravo. Awesome graphics and great narration as well.
face7hill··on Show HN: Alternative instagram photowall/profiles
This is pretty dope. Nice.
face7hill··on Show HN: La Vue - a cinematic iOS app with realtime police radio & ambient music
This is pretty trippy. Nice work! I really like the UI as well. Where are you getting the police feeds from?
face7hill··on Show HN: GigNGood. List and Bid on Services(Gigs) and Items(Good) for free
Very interesting concept. I do like that you're very global (places like Oceania are underserved). If I were you, I would do two things: 1. Pair up with a designer to lend some eye-candy to your functionality. I like that it's a simple UI but good visuals go a LONG way to sparking interest. 2. When you start marketing, approach websites/bloggers that are in those underserved markets that I mentioned. You never know where you'll be a hit. Just as you've seen yourself, there are lots of underserved areas in tech... Good luck!
face7hill··on Show HN: I shipped: WOPR - Game of Life in a synthesier
Nice, congrats on getting this out the door. I'm thinking about creating a curated list of music related apps and websites. I'll add this bad boy to the list. Congrats again.
face7hill··on Show HN: my weekend project, Quotably
Very cool. I just bought a book because of this. Nice work!

face7hill··on Ask HN: Time tracking tools?
I hate time tracking so I created this a couple of weeks ago:

https://timestreamapp.com

It's not for everyone (takes a different approach), but it might work for you.

face7hill··on Show HN: Realtime time tracking with Sinatra/Node.js/Redis
Thanks _mattb--I appreciate it. The default view shows elapsed time as you saw. When you search for items, it gives you a transactional view with start/stop times. I'm thinking about adding a setting for how you want the default view, e.g. transactional vs. summary. I've been using this app for a long time (since 2007). I spent the last couple of months cleaning it up for public consumption. It really has helped me keep track of my projects. The most enlightening thing is how much time I spend on phone calls with certain clients. Now I try to monitor that a little bit more.
face7hill··on Show HN: Realtime time tracking with Sinatra/Node.js/Redis
Yeah, I hear you about the "br" issue. With some of my early testers, it works for them. For others, not so much. I'll probably add a setting that you can adjust. As for pricing, I'm still working that out but I'm going to follow Evernote's approach, i.e. pay for it when you like it or limit it to 1000 entries free (about two months of hard-core usage). I'm open to suggestions.
