ompemion Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2015)

SEEKING WORK - Remote or NYC

Android applications only

We help clients develop and grow quality android applications.

We have designed, developed and launched our own apps reaching 16M+ downloads, four of them in different domains with 1M+. Our team members have worked at Google, CERN, Groupon and in tech startups in NY.

ompemion Show HN: Ssh – WhatsApp Incognito Mode (with Backstory)

We have configured accessibility to only get all notification changes from the WhatsApp app. Nothing else. Although I should say you can have access to all events of you interacting with the screen: window changes, window touches, etc.

For the Android versions below 4.3, this is the only way to have access to the notifications. There is a much nicer (for the concerned user too) way to access them in 4.3+.

It saved my day, I expected partials with cwd parameter and they were there. I used this instead of GitPython + manual popen for some git management tasks.

ompemion Android search engine poor results is damaging top applications

We've had a decrease in the number of downloads since 1st July of 50%. Our app cannot be found by its name. This is incredible.

ompemion My Android development income report

Good article, it is good to show that there are lots of indie devs that earn money with Android.

We started last year with Android, and we are making around $2000/month (1M downloads in total) with really simple applications. The majority of the revenue comes from ads, but more and more paid apps revenue is higher!
