jole··on Never send email marketing campaigns on a Friday
My experience says that the best days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
jole··on Show HN: My Weekend Project ApplicantChatter
Now "Sign up" looks better. One more thought: I think that you should try to make that homepage looks better. Maybe different image, or even slider, and better order in general. It looks a little messy, like you created it in five 5mins or so.

Just because of the design DeskAnything leaves better impression on me. Making your homepage better would definitely improve the general impression of users.

Keep up the good work, I like the idea :)

jole··on Ask HN: Mobile app with 2+ million downloads, what next?
Aha, I see. Well, I have no idea how could you do that.

But about selling it, consider an option that you contact some marketing agencies to get you a company which will buy/sponsor/brand the app. And to marketing agency offer a percent from contract you make with the client they find.

I don't think you did a bad thing. People take others people ideas all the time. I like the idea, and your project looks like a decent one. Just take a look at that Sign up button, looks pretty bad in Chrome!
jole··on Ask HN: Did your startup's domain name affect your reputation?
Totally agree. This is the advice you should take. I talk from my experience.

Pushing an update and adding affiliate links in the app?
jole··on Show HN: HN Store
Great idea! I've added it to bookmarks. Yes, I think it's ok to put affiliate links.
jole··on 1GB Ram & SSD Cloud Hosting for $6
Anyone can give a first-hand experience on this cloud hosting offer?
jole··on Show HN: YouFM - A new way to listen to music on Youtube
I really like the idea :) Interface looks great.
jole··on A new system for reading
No no, not at all. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Sometimes I get frustrated, when f.e. I want to get concepts of a new programming language, and learn it fast. I can't understand that f.e. it's so hard to find a good book/guide in under 100 pages. But ok, that's for the technical books.

So, no sarcasm, I agree with you about the first 30 pages :)

jole··on A new system for reading
It makes sense for me. Btw, I was always wondering how it is possible that there are no books on teaching how to code under 100 pages.
jole··on How much sleep do we really need to work productively?
I take power naps regularly almost every day, and it's true, after 15 mins of nap, I'm much more fresh and awake than before nap. I usually take nap after lunch, so between 13 - 15h.

About sleeping in general, I don't think that sleeping less than 8h per day is a myth. Nikola Tesla was sleeping 3-4 hours per day!

Recently I have found a cool website, which helps you to decide when to wake up or when to go to bed, so you can wake up fresh in the morning - sleepyti.me - bedtime calculator

jole··on Learning JavaScript - my experience and advice
Anki is great to recapitulate what you already know. At the moment, I'm trying to use it for learning new stuff. I am preparing for lpic-1 certification exams, and I use only Anki as tool to study. For now I'm really satisfied.
jole··on Ask HN: I want to learn Bootstrap but I dont truly know JS; bad idea?
Start with HTML. Once when you master it, go to JS. A good place to start: http://www.w3schools.com/

If you know C/C++, HTML/JS will be pretty easy for you.
