hyfen··on Show HN: Readwise Reader, an all-in-one reading app
Are there any plans to track reading sessions (start_at, end_at, sync position) and expose them in the API?

I currently use Marvin 3 for iOS which hasn't been updated in years but is still better than other readers. I'd love to switch to Readwise but I'll really miss the reading stats I can generate from the marvin export csvs.

Agreed. I've been using Marvin 3 but it hasn't been updated in years. Every iOS upgrade is terrifying. The last one broken highlight actions.

I've also been journalling a lot. I've specifically made a habit of writing down predictions because they'll be interesting to read in the future, no matter if you're right or wrong.

That's the hope. I've made sure that the metadata/licensing on each photo is as complete as possible for similar reasons.

Site's creator here. Thanks for sharing. I'd especially love sign photos from cities I don't have covered already.

Also, as of (checks deploy log) 30 seconds ago, the majority of these images are now under a CC licence which should make this project more useful to future historians/archivists.

Toronto, ShopLocket

ShopLocket is the fastest way to add ecommerce functionality to any web site, whether that's adding a simple shopping cart or taking preorders and charging later.

At ShopLocket, we're currently spending a lot of time on: - building a product that can live anywhere through the magic of third-party Javascript - turning our simple service into an API that other developers can build on top of - designing a tool that gets out of the way when it has to but be intuitive and pleasant to use when it can't - investing in automated testing so that we can adapt our codebase without (too much) stress and deploy confidently - giving ourselves a quantified view into how both buyers and sellers use our platform

We do our work in Rails, AngularJS, Coffeescript, Sass, deployed on Heroku; however, we're reaching that exciting stage where we're running into some of the limits of what these tools can do well.

We're looking for a VP Engineering, Backend Developer, Front-end Developer.

In exchange for your passion and expertise, we can offer a competitive salary, a great office in downtown Toronto, full benefits, and access to a variety of stimulants and depressants, where legal and appropriate.

Please get in touch: andrew@shoplocket.com
