gintsmurans··on Ask HN: What's your best startup idea that you're not going to pursue?
TextMe - Too much texting apps started popping around. Cactus - Photo sharing app with option to put a title on it. Had this a while ago, then whisper and others showed up. Escape the Monster - iOS kids game, some creature have to avoi d obstacles to escape the monster. Lack of time. Invoicer - Mac app for making invoices. Lack of time. Donster - Texting using only recorded sounds. Lack of time.
gintsmurans··on Ask HN: Cross platform password manager without cloud?
Well its not yet cross platform and lacks autotype stuff (because is a text editor), but obviously I would like to vote for my own made text encryption App for osx: http://textcrypt.4apps.lv/app/updates/TextCrypt_1.0.424.zip :)
gintsmurans··on Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day?
Yeah, as I said, if we assume. Still a lot of web developers write javascript besides backend programming.
gintsmurans··on Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day?
Web developers do it daily if we assume that html, css and javascript is also programming. As for me, I do html, css, javascript, php, python, objective-c. Not all days are the same but these ones overlaps very often.
gintsmurans··on Show HN: Made a cocos2d game
Thanks. Well, there are so many applications with name Candy, that I don't think they will go through all that trouble.

When we started I didn't know anything about game development, so I guess cocos2d is not that hard to learn. :) It took us around 8 months to make it, though, but mostly because we updated to better graphics multiple times. Btw, last update runs on cocos2d v3, which is a lot simpler and more easy to learn.

gintsmurans··on Ask HN: Looking for a developer?
I have also gone through resumes looking for developer and I have to agree, that lot of people don't know where they are applying. But I feel like this is what companies should figure out them selves. I should just send my CV to them, to let them know I am interested.
gintsmurans··on Ask HN: Looking for a developer?
Yup, quite new here. My experience haven't been that negative. But still its a bit frustrating.
